S-equol Supplement Benefits

A recent study with soy based S-equol supplements gave amazing results. The study lasted for 12 weeks. The supplement was able to lower hemoglobin A1c and bad (LDL) cholesterol in participants. Those suffering with metabolic syndrome would greatly benefit from this supplement.

S-equol is produced naturally in the body when you eat soy beans. Only about 20 to 30% of North Americans have the ability to create this substance in their bodies though.

Another great benefit of this product is it's ability to decrease menopausal symptoms in women. In a study, women who took this supplement had less hot flashes and other common symptoms of menopause.

Many Americans have metabolic syndrome and a lot of them have no idea that they even have it. It can cause symptoms such as:
  • Obesity
  • High blood sugar
  • High blood pressure
  • High cholesterol

If you have more than one of these things listed, you may have metabolic syndrome. The good news is that there are natural treatments. All you have to do is have the will to change.
