- Recommendation basesd on reliable evidence --- this is the basic stance of Fujicco
- Two findings related to Equol
- Bone Health
- First in the world - confirmation of Bone Loss Preventing Effect by pure reagent
- Confirmation of the condition whereby: 'A person with high bone density has a high amount of urinary Isoflavones'
- By intake of Isoflavones, the urinary excretion of Bone Absorption Marker decreases
Restriction of Ca elution from bone was proven - Drinking Fujicco Tea containing Isoflavones proved the effect
- When exercise is added to intake of Isoflavones, Bone Density increases
- Walking combined with Fujiflavone intake prevents Bone Loss and reduces Body Fat
- More than 90mg Isoflavone intake increases Spine Bone Density of menopausal women
- Isoflavones promote Bone Formation
- Estrogen's Bone Mass Maintenance Mechanism made clear:
Important point of action is 'regulation of Osteoclasts life span'
- Menopausal Symptoms
- Occurrence of Hot Flashes among a group ingesting some amount of Isoflavones is less than half of that among a group taking a smaller amount
- Intake of Isoflavones prevents Atrophy of Mucosa and provides moisture
- Effect for Beautiful Skin confirmed:
Moisture maintenance・collagen creation・suppressing action against melanin
- Obesity
- Cardiovascular Diseases
- High Isoflavone Intake women group showed reduction of Cerebral and Myocardial Infarction Risk
- Isoflavone Intake lowers Blood Pressure
- Isoflavones reduce Serum Cholesterol
- Intake of 100mg Isoflavones lowers Serum Total Cholesterol and LDL Cholesterol
- A hypothesis of Isoflavones' Blood Pressure Reducing Mechanism was presented
- Cancers etc.
- Breast Cancer Mortality Rate is low in Soybean eating regions while in low Isoflavone Intake areas the mortality rate is high
- Isoflavones lower Breast Cancer Risk
- High Blood Isoflavone (Genistein) Level group shows lower Breast Cancer Incidence Rate
- Isoflavones prevent progress of Prostate Cancer
- Risk of Localized Prostate Cancer is lowered in higher Isoflavone Intake group
- High Soy Products intake group shows Mortality Rate Risk of Stomach Cancer reduced by half
- Isoflavones suppress Stress Induced Stomach Ulcer
Bone Health
More than 90mg Isoflavone intake increases Spine Bone Density of menopausal women
According to a meta-analysis of 10 randomized controlled trials conducted by the Department of Social Medicine & Education, School of Public Health of Peking University, it is reported that the spine bone density of subjects who consumed isoflavones increased significantly (20.6mg/㎠) in comparison to that in subjects who did not consume isoflavones, and that increases in the spine bone density with isoflavones intake of more than 90 mg/day and with treatment for longer than 90days were 28.5mg/㎠ and 27mg/㎠ respectively. Due to these results it is concluded that favorable effects for the spines of menopausal women become more significant when more than 90mg/day are consumed over a period of more than 6 months.
