Designs for Health Osteoben 120 Veg Capsules:

Many epidemiological studies have been conducted demonstrating that high isoflavone intake has bone-sparing effects. Research suggests that genistein exerts its effect by managing the metabolic imbalance in bone tissue induced by ovarian hormone depletion, an important fact since the primary type of osteoporosis affects postmenopausal women. Genistein is a phytoestrogen that acts as a mild SERM (selective estrogen receptor modulator) which may positively regulate bone cell metabolism without serious side effects.

May reduce severe and frequent menopausal symptoms (such as hot flashes and/or night sweats). Calcium intake, when combined with sufficient vitamin D, a healthy diet, and regular exercise, may reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis.

Genistein Aglycone: Genistein is a phytoestrogen that acts as a mild selective estrogen receptor modulator, which may positively regulate bone cell metabolism without the adverse side-effects seen in some instances of postmenopausal hormone replacement
therapy. The genistein aglycone in Osteoben® is from a non-soy plant source. Research on phytoestrogens indicates that an effective dose for health effects is 40–70 mg/day Osteoben® provides 54 mg in one 4-capsule serving. Epidemiological evidence suggests high isoflavone intake has bone-sparing effects, and that the beneficial effects of genistein on bone turnover—decreased bone resorption and enhanced formation—is due to estrogenic activity.
