Help with hot flashes (also called hot flushes) is easy and delicious with doctor-recommended Revival Soy.
Scientists became very interested in soy’s potential ability to help with hot flashes and night sweats after population studies revealed that only ~10-20% of women living in Asia, where the diet is rich in soy, experienced hot flushes during mid-life, in contrast to almost ~80-90% of Western women who experience menopausal discomforts. This interest lead to numerous research studies designed to actually test the ability of soy protein and/or soy isoflavones to help with hot flushes. The results of these studies suggest that soy protein and isoflavones can indeed help with hot flashes [1-3]. Interestingly, many of the studies testing the benefits of soy protein and isoflavones for help with hot flashes only tested these specific ingredients and not finished soy food products.
Revival Soy is one of the few finished soy food products on the market to be tested in a clinical trial for its ability to help with hot flashes. In this double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study, 93 postmenopausal women drank either one Revival Soy protein shake (20 grams of soy protein with ~160 milligrams of total isoflavones) per day or one placebo shake (20 grams of milk protein with no isoflavones) per day for 12 weeks. Results from this peer-reviewed, published study found that Revival Soy can help with hot flashes and night sweats naturally [4]. Women experienced significant help with hot flashes and nights sweats, compared to their starting baseline levels, with daily Revival Soy use (just one serving per day). Typical reduction was nearly 40% in just 12 weeks. In addition to help with hot flushes, the women consuming 1 Revival Soy shake per day saw an overall improvement in their postmenopausal quality of life. In contrast, the study volunteers in the placebo group did not obtain these benefits. The study investigators concluded that consuming Revival Soy provided substantial help with hot flashes and was associated with an improved quality of life in early postmenopausal women.
So, if you are looking for help with hot flushes, Revival Soy is a delicious and easy way to add protein and isoflavones to your diet. Remember, consistent daily use of soy protein and isoflavones provides the best help with hot flashes.
