Soy supplements, now available in tablet or powder form, make increasing soy consumption easier, especially if you're not nuts about tofu. Recommended amounts of soy protein average around 50 g per day. Soybeans and soy products contain phytoestrogens and isoflavones, which have been shown to be highly effective in decreasing menopausal symptoms because of its ability to modulate estrogen levels.
