A member asked:

Is it a bad idea to consume soy isoflavone supplement daily, if i have irregular periods? since it mimics estrogen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Needs balance...: If Soy Isoflavone supplements are giving you irregular periods, you may need to use a Yam Progesterone cream for 10 days every month to give you a regular period. I'd wouldn't recommend Soy Isoflavone supplements if you are not having regular periods without balancing it with progesterone. Best wishes!
