More Proof Underscoring the Benefits of Isoflavones...

A recent study by Johanna Lampe from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, indicates that benefits of isoflavones may also extend to fibrocystic breast conditions, a very common and benign condition characterized by lumpiness and discomfort in one or both breasts.

 

We have been using isoflavones for years in both our Women’s and Men’s versions of Total Balance. This is because the active phytochemicals in them…genistein and daidzein are well proven to be of benefit in preventing many forms of cancer, and in particular breast and prostate. (We do not include the isolfavones in our Unisex version of Total Balance as isoflavones are not needed for teenagers)

 

The typical western diet is very much deficient in isoflavones. You don’t need a lot…around 50mgs a day of the 40% soy isoflavones is believed to be the correct amount and will provide cancer protection for most people particularly when combined with other anti-cancer nutrients.
