Isoflavones for Promoting Calcium Absorption and Preventing Bone Loss in Post Menopausal Women

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Osteoporosis, Osteopenia

In brief

Estrogen is a hormone that helps prevent calcium loss and bone breakdown. During menopause, estrogen levels decrease. Insufficient amounts of estrogen may lead to bone loss and possibly osteoporosis. Isoflavones are natural compounds found in soy plants that may help provide protection against bone loss. This study will evaluate the effect of soy isoflavones on calcium absorption and bone loss in post menopausal women.
