Soy reduces bone turnover markers in women during early menopause: a randomized controlled trial (2016)
Journal Article
Sathyapalan, T., Aye, M., Rigby, A. S., Fraser, W. D., Thatcher, N. J., Kilpatrick, E. S., & Atkin, S. L. (2017). Soy reduces bone turnover markers in women during early menopause: a randomized controlled trial. Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, 32(1), 157-164. https://doi.org/10.1002/jbmr.2927

Menopausal estrogen loss leads to an increased bone loss. Soy isoflavones can act as selective estrogen receptor modulators, their role in bone turnover is unclear. The primary outcome was assessing changes in plasma bone turnover markers. The second...
