Menopause

Role of phytochemicals in the prevention of menopausal bone loss: evidence from in vitro and in vivor, human interventional and pharmacokinetic studies. Sharan K, Siddiqui JA, Swarnkar G, Maurya R, Chattopadhyay N. Curr Med Chem. 2009;16(9):1138-57. Key Finding: “As phytochemicals have multiple beneficial influences on bone cells, making analogues of the most potent molecule for developing synthetic series with rational drug design approach could pay rich dividends in menopausal osteoporosis therapy.”

Health effects of phytoestrogens. Branca F, Lorenzetti S. Forum Nutr. 2005;(57):100-11. Key Finding: “For the relief of menopausal symptoms a consumption of 60 mg aglycones/day has been suggested; for cancer prevention a consumption between 50 and 110 mg aglycones/ day is considered beneficial to reduce risks of breast, colon and prostate cancer; to decrease cardiovascular risk a minimum intake of 40-60 mg aglycones/day, together with about 25 g of soy protein has been suggested. For improvement in bone mineral desnity, 60-100 mg aglycones/ day for a period of at least 6-12 months could be beneficial.”

Potential risks and benefits of phytoestrogen-rich diets. Cassidy A. Int J Vitam Nutr Res. 2003 Mar;73(2):120-6. Key Finding: “The limited studies conducted so far in humans clearly confirm that soya isoflavones can exert hormonal effects. These effects may be of benefit in the prevention of many of the common diseases observed in Western populations (such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, menopausal symptoms, osteoporosis) where the diet is typically devoid of these biologically active naturally occurring compounds.”

Phyto-oestrogens: where are we now? Bingham SA, Atkinson C, Liggins J, Bluck L, Coward A. Br J Nutr. 1998 May;79(5):393-406. Key Finding: “Evidence is beginning to accrue that they may begin to offer protection against a wide range of human conditions, including breast, bowel, prostate and other cancers, cardiovascular disease, brain function, alcohol abuse, osteoporosis and menopausal symptoms. There are few indications of harmful effects at present, although possible proliferative effects have been reported.”
