Soy Isoflavones Market: Key Players and Strategies from 2023 to 2030

The global soy isoflavones market is expected to grow from US$ 1.49 billion in 2023 to US$ 2.41 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.16% during the forecast period. It is true that isoflavones are organic compounds, mostly present in different types of beans. Soybeans and products made from them are incredibly rich sources of isoflavones because they are the physiologically active components of soybeans, or isoflavones.

These chemicals, which are often referred to as phytoestrogens, work similarly to the female hormone estrogen. Because of this property, soy isoflavones are an active ingredient in many products that support the health of women. The two primary isoflavones found in soy are daidzein and genistein.

Drivers For Soy Isoflavones In The Market:

The strong and increasing demand for soy isoflavones from post-menstrual women drives the market. This need arises from the fact that women at this age have a marked decrease in estrogen, leading to various problems such as hot flashes, excessive perspiration, and weight gain.

Two serious issues that decreased estrogen levels may cause are osteoporosis and heart difficulties. Compared to operations such as hormone replacement therapy, soy isoflavones provide less risk to the health of the user.

Key Takeaways:

The global soy isoflavones market is expected to grow from US$ 1.49 billion in 2023 to US$ 2.41 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.16% during the forecast period.

The market growth is attributed to the increasing awareness of the health benefits of soy isoflavones, rising demand for soy-based food and beverages, and growing application of soy isoflavones in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries.

North America is expected to remain the largest market for soy isoflavones, followed by Asia Pacific and Europe.

Regional Outlook and Analysis:

North America is expected to remain the largest market for soy isoflavones, owing to the increasing awareness of the health benefits of soy isoflavones and the growing demand for soy-based food and beverages.

Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to the rising disposable incomes and increasing awareness of the health benefits of soy isoflavones.

Europe is expected to witness significant growth in the soy isoflavones market, owing to the increasing demand for soy-based food and beverages and the growing application of soy isoflavones in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries.

In each article I read while researching the effects of soy, there was one common thread: I consistently came across phrases like “current findings are inconclusive,” “more research is needed,” “this effect requires further examination…” Studies also tended to remark that there seems to be a difference in whether or not a person has been consuming soy for a long time, or if soy is a recent addition to one’s diet. 

Over and over, I read that soy’s impacts depend on a woman’s menstrual status, and may also be dependent on a person’s ability or inability to break isoflavones down into equol. So much depends on individual circumstances that it is difficult to make sweeping generalizations at this time about whether soy is healthy or unhealthy for you.

Covid Causes Much More than Brain Fog

A mountain of evidence tells us that even mild Covid is bad for your brain.

Last year, a case study in Frontiers in Pediatrics described what Covid did to the lives of two girls. Before getting sick, they made excellent grades. They had lots of friends. They played the piano. They were healthy. After a mild case of Covid, they started complaining about fatigue and joint pain. They forgot how to play their favorite songs. They couldn't do simple math. For six months, their parents and teachers didn't listen. They sent them to a psychologist. They assumed the girls were suffering from anxiety. They weren't. Brain scans finally revealed hypometabolism. Their brains weren't absorbing nutrients. Covid had done something to them. Researchers decided to administer a special supplement to improve cognitive function. After months of treatment, the girls seemed to be showing some signs of improvement. It was unclear if they would make a full recovery. Here's a description of the treatment:

A product available in Italy that contains magnesium oxide, bulking agent cellulose, turmeric Meriva fitosomas rhizome e.s. titrated at 18% in curcuminoids, zinc gluconate, anticaking agents silicon dioxide, magnesium salts of fatty acids, and carboxymethyl cellulose sodium, soy seeds e.s. 40% isoflavones, 98% resveratrol, selenium, methionine, cholecalciferol, and folic acid. We opted for this treatment based on the published literature showing positive biological effects of selenium, vitamin D, vitamin E, zinc, magnesium, and polyphenols on cognitive functions. --Frontiers in Pediatrics

It's the same treatment given to patients with dementia and traumatic brain injury. That's not a coincidence. A study in The New England Journal of Medicine found that Covid infection results in a direct drop in your IQ. In their study, those with mild infections lost 3 IQ points. Those with more severe infections lost 6 points. Those who wound up in the ICU lost 9 points. As Ziyad Aly-Aly writes, letting Covid rip has already resulted in "an increase of 2.8 million adults with a level of cognitive impairment that requires significant societal support." Children are not being spared this fate. Parents and teachers are storming social media with complaints about children who can't read, can't pay attention, and can't regulate their emotions. Here's one example:

Look at the comments. People say this sudden deterioration happened just over the last few years. They say their kids can't write a sentence. They can't follow basic instructions. They can't read or do simple math. Everyone wants to blame something. They blame screens. They blame phones. They blame bad parenting. They blame bad teaching. They blame vaccines. They blame lockdowns. They blame online instruction. It's none of the above. It's Covid.

[...]

Dozens of studies tell us what Covid does to your brain. According to Harvard medical professor Anthony Komaroff, “COVID can damage the brain in many ways.” A recent study in Nature Medicine identified two proteins responsible for memory and concentration problems in post-Covid patients. Researchers at NYU found that the virus can cause direct brain damage, but it often triggers ongoing brain inflammation that could be treated. Covid survivors aren't making it up. It's real. We’ve known about the cognitive impacts of Covid since October 2020, when researchers published about it in the Journal of Psychiatric Research, noting a significant impairment “linked to the underlying inflammatory processes.” In other words, we had evidence that Covid caused brain inflammation that lasted for weeks or months after the infection. It was largely ignored. According to the American Medical Association, Covid brain fog remains a common and persistent problem for millions. Patients describe “the feeling that their brain is lost in a maze, and they can’t find their way back.”

Plants and animals as containers for medicinal ingredients (Essay)

Sea cucumbers

``Ginseng'' is said to have ``the main medicinal part is the root, and the useful ingredient is a group of saponins called ginsenosides, which are effective against diabetes, arteriosclerosis, and nourishing tonics, and have been taken since ancient times. Because they have the effect of increasing blood pressure, It has been said that people with high blood pressure should refrain from drinking it. However, there are reports that drinking it will lower it, and it is said that it actually has an adjustment effect on the body. It is also said that drinking it can lower blood pressure. It also has a conditioning effect. Once cultivated, Korean ginseng cannot be grown on the same land for 60 years.

Now, there are creatures in the sea that have medicinal properties comparable to ginseng...Sea ginseng...Sea cucumbers. In fact, sea cucumbers are extremely nutritious and have medicinal properties. Another characteristic of sea ginseng is that it contains saponin.

Sea cucumbers contain a well-balanced abundance of nutrients, including vitamins such as vitamins B and E, and minerals such as calcium, iron, and zinc. In China, sea cucumber is used as a treatment for chronic hepatitis and is said to have a tonic effect on the kidneys, prevent arteriosclerosis, recover from decreased sexual function, improve constipation, and have diuretic effects.

In addition, it contains nutritional ingredients that have been attracting attention in recent years, such as collagen and chondroitin, which promote metabolism, keep skin and skin youthful, and act as a cushion to reduce the burden on the knees and lower back that supports body weight. Another characteristic of sea cucumbers is that they contain.

Also, arrowroot(kudzuroot) has been widely used as a main ingredient in crude drugs since ancient times. Kudzu root contains small amounts of isoflavone derivatives such as daidzein, daidzein, and phularin, which have sweating, antipyretic, and antispasmodic effects. Isoflavones also help lower blood cholesterol and control calcium levels in the body, so they are said to be effective against osteoporosis and menopausal symptoms.

Trace ingredients are important. These characteristics are thought to be due to the roots of kudzu growing deep underground and sucking up nutrients from the soil. In the case of potatoes, they are probably about 30 cm below the surface of the earth, so they cannot perform tricks like kudzu.

How to cope with typical symptoms of Menopause

Supplements dedicated to women during menopause can provide support for managing the symptoms and hormonal changes associated with this transitional phase of life. Menopause, typically occurring in women around the age of 45-55, marks the end of reproductive years and is characterized by a decline in estrogen and progesterone levels. While it's important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any supplement regimen, here are some commonly used supplements that may offer support during menopause:

Black Cohosh: Black cohosh is a herb that has been traditionally used to alleviate menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings. Some studies suggest that black cohosh may have estrogen-like effects, which can help to balance hormonal fluctuations and reduce the intensity and frequency of these symptoms.

Soy Isoflavones: Soy isoflavones are plant compounds with a similar structure to estrogen. They are found in soybeans and soy products. Research indicates that soy isoflavones may help alleviate hot flashes and night sweats. They work by binding to estrogen receptors and exerting a weak estrogenic effect, providing a natural alternative to hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

Red Clover: Red clover is another herb that contains isoflavones. Like soy isoflavones, red clover isoflavones can interact with estrogen receptors in the body. Some studies suggest that red clover may help reduce the frequency and severity of hot flashes and improve overall quality of life during menopause.

Calcium and Vitamin D: During menopause, women may experience a decrease in bone density due to declining estrogen levels. Supplementing with calcium and vitamin D can support bone health and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Calcium helps to maintain bone strength, while vitamin D aids in calcium absorption.

Magnesium: Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a role in various bodily functions, including hormone regulation and muscle relaxation. Some studies suggest that magnesium supplementation may help reduce the frequency and severity of hot flashes, improve sleep quality, and alleviate mood swings during menopause.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3 fatty acids, such as those found in fish oil, have anti-inflammatory properties and can support cardiovascular health and brain function. They may also help alleviate symptoms of depression and mood swings that some women experience during menopause.

Vitamin E: Vitamin E is an antioxidant that may offer relief from hot flashes and night sweats. Some studies suggest that vitamin E supplementation can reduce the severity and frequency of these symptoms, although results have been mixed.

Remember, the effectiveness of these supplements may vary from person to person, and it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen. They can assess your individual needs, consider any underlying health conditions or medications you may be taking, and provide personalized guidance to ensure safe and effective use of supplements during menopause.

MicroKillers

Runner-up in the University of Portsmouth Short Story Prize 2023

A weight lifted as the doctor took Lily from my arms and laid her on the medical table.

“Daddy, weren't you coming too?”

The tails of the body straps were hanging just out of sight beside her. 

“No, baby, I have to wait here. But I’ll see you in fifthteen minutes.”

I pinched the fat on her cheeks and the doctor carted her toward the double doors. 

Her mother had described the procedure to me before Lily was born. Back then, they provided a curtain and even a chaperone if the girls were particularly anxious about the discomfort. 

Back then, the council could afford anaethesia too.

Drumming rumbled through my ears as I caught the last sight of my daughter between the doors, her gappy smile still intact. The silence that followed left the sinking realisation that she would not have gone quietly had I resisted.

A dull howling began to trickle through the doors.

⤧

At our next visit the following month, another doctor, whose jovial nature would not be contained by the triviality of a waistline, assisted Lily through the glass doors at the hospital entrance.

“Okay! Good news first.” Lily hovered by the office door. I pulled her over, my comfort rejected as she wrestled in my arms. “Lily’s infection is gone, which means she is now eligible to be put into the system and matched. Today — with your permission, sir.”

Lily pressed her fist into my chest. It had been her eleventh birthday yesterday and I’d promised we’d see the rides at the pier after her appointment.

“You want to match her today?”

“Oh, goodness!” The doctor laughed. “If only things were still so efficient. No, the process may take some months.”

Fabric tightened around my collar and I suppressed a choke. I captured Lily’s fist and rocked her, wondering how far we could make it beyond the channel, if we found a boat, before the wasteland consumed us or we starved…

“Unfortunately, the physical t-r-a-u-m-a from the removal for cryopreservation has left some questions regarding her fertility. However, we are confident that any faults will be corrected with a viable match, okay?”

Her mother would’ve known how to delay all of this.

“And her heart?”

“There aren’t any indications that your daughter has inherited your match’s—”

“Lucy.”

“...Lucy’s arrhythmia. Lily’s sangius-plasticus is lower than the current average for girls her age.”

⤧

Lily’s partner, Nicholas, fourteen, seemed too old to have lived so long unmatched.

“He has incredibly low sanguis-plasicus levels,” the doctor had said, “and his life expectancy is almost forty! Wonderful news for your gene pool, sir.”

Behind the thick rim of his glasses, Nicholas’s face swarmed with acne. He stood frigidly on the pier and stared at Lily. 

I found the boy's father to be rather charming. He had dedicated his life to substituting epoxy resin—

“That used to line our food rations, didn’t it, Daddy?” Lily interjected.

“It did indeed,” Nicholas’s father replied. “My product not only combats microplastic infusion but contains isoflavones. Do you know what those are?”

“Isn’t that for old women?”

“Well, yes,” Nicholas piped up, “but Dad found a way to enhance their cancer fighting properties—”

“Even if the tumor is already growing?”

“Iso’s slow the growth, see…”

Nicholas’s father and I smiled at one another. It appeared the pair had their intelligence to bond over, Nicholas gaining a side to Lily I had yet to meet.

For his sake, I hoped it would be enough by the time he was due to fertilise.

⤧

“It hurts, Daddy, it hurts so bad—”

“Not long now, baby. It’ll all be worth it, I promise.”

I wiped sweat from her forehead, her face convulsing pink and agonised— a gasp clawed its way out of her.

“Update, nurse?”

“Still not at transition. Patient is not yet fully dilated, sir.”

Lily had been disabled by contractions for eighteen hours at this point. She grasped my hand and cried out for her mother.

The doctor motioned for the nurse, and they stepped beyond the opaque window. Exasperation etched through the glass, I jolted as the nurse threw her clipboard at the doctor. Lily howls, drawing my attention until the doctor reenters.

“I need to operate, if you would step outside.”

Behind him, the nurse's arm lays exposed and twitching on the marmoleum floor.

“I-I’m staying for the birth of my grandchild.”

Lily rocked beside me. I stepped between her and the doctor, feigning strength.

“You must step outside, sir.”

Security’s padded silhouette passed the window.

“No. I am staying with my child—”

Lily’s hand clamped around my arm as security yanked my shirt. 

“Daddy, look after my baby—”

I saw the minutes trapped in her eyes.

“—Promise me, Daddy.”

She squeezed my hand and time became tame.

Eternity stretched between us.

I let her go.
