A study on Japanese women has revealed that the SE5-OH containing Natural S-equol-a novel soy germ-based ingredient in a supplement-was found to improve menopausal symptoms.
In fact, the ingredient has the potential to reduce hot flash frequency by nearly 59 percent.
What is Menopause?
Menopause is defined as the state of permanent cessation of menstrual cycles (periods) for 12-months.

"The data presented at North American Menopause Society (NAMS) adds to this research and illustrates the potential that SE5-OH containing Natural S-equol has for management of menopausal symptoms," she added.
Soybeans contain a compound daidzein that certain bacteria living within the digestive tract of some individuals can metabolize, or convert, into Natural S-equol [7-hydroxy-3-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)-chroman], a compound thought to act as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM).

Not everyone can produce Natural S-equol after soy consumption, as the production depends on the types of bacteria present in the large intestine and may be influenced by the amount of soy consumed.

Studies in Japan have documented a link between milder menopausal symptoms in equol producers as compared to non-producers, but efficacy studies of S-equol, and of SE5-OH containing Natural S-equol, have been limited.
