FUNCTIONS
Isoflavones are a class of phytoestrogens, plantderived compounds that are similar in structure and/or function to animal estrogens. Although the most well known and significant dietary source of isoflavones is the soybean, another source is red clover, Trifolium pratense. Genistein and daidzein are two predominant isoflavones found in both soy products and red clover.
Epidemiological studies have found that individuals with high soy intakes often enjoy certain health advantages. Numerous laboratory and clinical studies, investigating the health benefits of soy products, have identified soy isoflavones as key components responsible for the health benefits associated with soy foods.
Isoflavones have both weak estrogenic and anti-estrogenic activity, which may contribute to their ability to moderate menopausal symptoms and support maintenance of bone mineral density.
Isoflavones also help protect the cardiovascular system, support the immune system, inhibit angiogenesis, and protect against oxidative damage as antioxidants.
Black cohosh, Cimicifuga racemosa, an herb with a long history of use in Native American cultures for gynecological disorders, is currently seen as a natural way to normalize hormonal changes and moderate the uncomfortable symptoms that accompany menopause. Black cohosh works largely through the synergistic activity of two types of compounds: phytoestrogens and triterpenes.
Phytoestrogens, a class of flavonoids with mild estrogenic activity in the body, appear to have normalizing effects on hormonal levels. In particular, black cohosh extract contains formononetin, an isoflavone phytoestrogen.
Triterpene glycosides found in black cohosh extract act synergistically with formononetin to suppress excessive secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH). Sudden increases in LH secretion, which occur in response to declining estrogen levels, appear largely responsible for many symptoms associated with menopause, such as hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, irritability, heart palpitations, and headaches.
Additionally, the concerted activity of formononetin and triterpenes appears to aid in the regulation of estrogen balance. As with other estrogenic compounds, the active constituents in black cohosh extract may have beneficial effects on the structure and function of the cardiovascular and skeletal systems of postmenopausal women. As such, black cohosh offers a safe and natural method of balancing hormone levels and easing the uncomfortable symptoms of menopause.
