Are Phytoestrogens safe to use?
Let us put this way, basically, most of the botanic products use part of the plant which contain phytoestrogens richly rather than an extract of certain chemicals from the plant. If the plant does no harm to any other human body, it will be safe to use for helping the menopausal symptoms. However, since phytoestrogens are similar to estrogen with a weaker potency, certain women need to be particularly careful before using phytoestrogens, especially: — Women who have had or are at increased risk for diseases or conditions that are affected by female hormones, such as cancer of the breast, uterine, or ovarian ; endometriosis; or uterine fibroids –Women who are taking drugs that increase estrogen levels in the body, such as birth control pills; MHT; or a type of cancer drug called selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), such as tamoxifen. 12.
