Isoflavones Market Drivers

Prevalence of menopausal issues

Women experience numerous problems in their menopause stages, such as hot flashes, insomnia and, in many cases, sexual dysfunction. Many women choose oestrogen-containing supplements that can dramatically raise the risk of blood clots, stroke, or breast or uterine cancer. As a result, oestrogen may not be a choice for many women, depending on their health and family health history. Women are currently prone to supplements with naturally therapeutic ingredients to treat their menopausal symptoms with less complications. In response to the evolving tastes of women, supplement manufacturers have switched to natural alternatives. They also started using soy isoflavones instead of oestrogen because it mimics the properties of the oestrogen and induces oestrogen effects that help to minimize menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and exhaustion. Due to the growing problems of menopause and the tendency of women for supplements with natural alternatives, the demand for isoflavones from the nutraceutical industry is increasing.

Isoflavones Market Challenges

Less efficiency compared to alternatives

Soy isoflavones can take several weeks or more to deliver their maximum benefit. For instance, as per Healthline Media (US), the 2015 analysis found that soya isoflavones take more than 13 weeks to achieve just half of their maximum impact. Traditional hormones such as oestrogen therapy, on the other hand, require about three weeks to demonstrate the same benefit. Possible adverse effects, such as heart attacks and strokes associated with traditional oestrogen therapy, are expected to enable pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers to opt for isoflavones extracted from natural resources. In addition, the prolonged use of these items for a long period of time can have side effects. These side effects include causing some food allergies in certain people, such as runny nose, itching, digestive and stomach pain , headache, bloating, cramping, migraine, and other stomach problems. Therefore, these factors are restraining market growth.
