About Herbs
Q. What are soy isoflavones
and why are they important?
A. Isoflavones
are estrogen-like substances found in plants,
which can help to restore hormonal balance
when taken in the proper amount. Soy happens
to be the richest source of isoflavones.
Isoflavones are three of them: Daidzein,
genistein, and plycitein.
Q.
What is the purpose of fermenting soy?
A. Fermenting
soy activates its natural isoflavones,
making them more bioavailable and easier
to digest. Fermented soy is also the most
popular form of soy in the diet of Asian
cultures, some of the healthiest cultures
in the world.
Q.
Should someone with candida have problems
with fermented soy?
A. No.
Microbiological testing assures that no
Candida albicans is present in fermented
soy. The fermented soy used in Soy Essentials -
Super FiProFLAX does not contain any
active yeast cells or yeast proteins, which
would cause an allergic reaction.
Q.
What are beta-glucans?
A. Beta-glucans
are polysaccharides made of glucose molecules
joined together by a "beta" linkage
between various carbon atoms in the glucose
ring. The beta-glucans found in Health
From The Sun products are derived from
the cell walls of a common yeast, used
in the soy fermentation process. Beta-glucans
activate and modulate the immune system
and have antioxidant activity.
Q.
Do beta-glucans have research-backed
benefits?
A. Yes.
Numerous scientific studies by Tulane University
and Harvard Medical School have shown how
powerful beta-glucans are in stimulating
the immune system. Benefits include scavenging
free radicals, protection against ionizing
radiation, speeding recovery of damaged
tissue, increasing resistance to a variety
of bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic
infections, and inhibiting tumor growth.
Q.
Is BasiChol safe to use if I am using
cholesterol lowering drugs?
A. Absolutely.
BasiChol alone can help maintain healthy
cholesterol levels, however, if you have
already been prescribed cholesterol lowering
drugs, you will be glad to know that Basikol
was shown in clinical studies to heighten
the effects of statin drugs by up to 17%.
Q.
How does BasiChol work?
A. Basikol
contains phytosterols, plant compounds
that resemble cholesterol in chemical structure.
Their activity is simple; when consumed
in the proper amount (at least 800mg per
day) phytosterols compete with cholesterol
for absorption in the digestive tract.
The result is more cholesterol being allowed
to pass unabsorbed through the digestive
system and over time, this can help restore
normal cholesterol levels.
Q.
