Soy Isoflavones

Isoflavones are substituted derivatives of isoflavone, a type of naturally occurring isoflavonoids,[1] many of which act as phytoestrogens in mammals.[2] Isoflavones are produced almost exclusively by the members of the bean family, Fabaceae (Leguminosae).

I am a healthy woman in my 60's and I am struggling with anxiety. I have found great relief taking small amounts (1 mg / day) of Lorezepam but am concerned about possibilities of addiction. Please advise, all input is good input. Thank you , Shelly ## Unless you are abusing such a medication and taking more than prescribed, you may become dependent upon it, but not usually addicted. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and irritability. How long have you been taking it? Are you on any other medications? ## It is the withdrawal factor that is so frightening. Your doctor will warn you addiction and overlook withdrawal. People over the age of 60 should always be careful with any of the benzodiazepines as they're not me...

I am now a healthy 60 year old woman and I fell and hit my head on the farm 25 years ago. Since then I have suffered from partial complex seizures that occur during sleep (not every night). I am currently taking 3000 mg of divalproex and 1000 of carbamazapine daily however my seizures are still uncontrolled and appear to be happening more often. Now my neurologist wants to place me on Keppra but I'm afraid that as a result, I might have unexpected seizures that are either stronger or that occur during the day; I haven't had a daytime seizure or a grand mal sort of seizure in years and don't want those again. I want to be assured the Keppra won't induce those and I hope you can provide me with your insight. ## Unfortunately, there is no way to guarantee that it won't....

Does it work & if so what dosage for an adult healthy woman. Thank you. ## Hi Vivian, I honestly think it's worth trying and seeing how it works for you. There's a lot of information on Dr. Oz regarding it's uses: doctoroz.com/videos/miracle-fat-burner-bottle "The recommended dose is 100mg per day. To get the same benefit from the whole fruit, you'd have to consume 90 pounds of raspberries." I hope this helps!

I am 54yrs and fixing to marry a very healthy 35yr woman who has an appetite that does not stop! I need to find my Meds at a greatly reduced rate but, they still need to be Meds not Deads. I have yet to find a pharmacy that dispenses consistent quality Meds at a reasonable rate. Not only that but my script is about out! Please help! She is a beauty and I sure want to keep her. ## Hi Gaver, Happy to hear that things are going so well for you! Concerning the cost of your medication, have you thought about using any pharmacy coupons?

I am a 68 year old woman with severe osteoporosis. I had a bone scan and tested -4.5. I was on Fosimax for 5 years but had severe thigh pain and had to quit. Just 6 months ago I had my first Prolia shot. I felt okay for the first month or 6 weeks and then had a severe bladder infection. I went to my doctor and he put me on Cipro for a week. It didn't work. Then he put me on another antibiotic for another week and I finally got relief. Neither of us thought of the Prolia shot even though I've always been healthy and never had problems with my bladder. When it finally got better, I got a horrific head cold. Again, something I never get and haven't had one for many years. It was the worse cold I ever had and it laid me up for 2 weeks. As of now, I still have the darn thing alth...
