In the Ask the Nutritionist discussion, a ThirdAger asks:
"Interested in finding information about soy isoflavones extract ... What type of benefits would you gain from supplementing this product? Is soy isoflavones extract the same as the new supplement methoxy isoflavones?" --El Guapo
Forum host Susan Mitchell responds:
"Research is inconclusive as to whether the benefits from soy come from the soy protein, isoflavones, the mix or a combo with other soy components. Because of that, most nutritionists recommend consuming soy in whole foods versus isoflavone supplements only ... i.e., soy milk, soy cheese, soy burgers, soy corn dogs, soy bars, etc. which are tasty and very easy to find in all grocery stores."
