May promote bone health

The isoflavones in soy nuts may strengthen bones and prevent osteoporosis, a condition marked by brittle bones and a higher risk of fractures. For instance, it has been demonstrated that genistein and other isoflavones boost postmenopausal women's bone mineral density. This is probably because they benefit indicators in your body that regulate bone development.

In comparison to a placebo, taking 90 mg of soy isoflavones daily for at least six months significantly enhanced bone mineral density in menopausal women, according to an analysis of ten trials. Remember that most research employs isoflavone supplements rather than soy meals, thus even though some don't link isoflavone intake with stronger bones. According to several studies, isoflavone levels are raised higher by soy meals than by supplementation.
