Mediterranean Tofu Beans

Med Styled Tofu beans

Dive into the amazing world of soy, where every bite is a treasure trove of protein, polyunsaturated fats, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants! This powerhouse of nutrients not only excites your taste buds but also supports your overall well-being by slashing the risks of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), high cholesterol, & osteoporosis. Perhaps my favourite function of soy is it's ability to support high oestrogen states and also low oestrogen states making it great for any hormonal complaint, Endo, PMS to Peri-menopause!

So you've heard about soy, but how about soy iso-flavones?

These superstar phytoestrogens have been scientifically linked to enhancing hormonal balance! While soy doesn’t contain the same oestrogen your body produces, its phytoestrogens engage with your estrogen receptors in a way that’s both protective and beneficial!

Discover the Unique Modulating Magic of Soy!

Soy isoflavones are like hormonal ninjas! They adapt based on where they are in your body: acting like oestrogen in some places and blocking oestrogen in others! In your brain, heart, and bones, they offer a fabulous oestrogenic boost—sharpening cognitive function and reducing heart disease risks while enhancing bone density. Meanwhile, in tissues like the breasts, uterus, and prostate, they take on a protective role, lowering cancer risks by providing a beneficial anti-oestrogenic effect!
