Function of Equol
Equol is a metabolite excreted from soy isoflavones after being decomposed and digested by intestinal bacteria, also known as "super isoflavones", and like soy isoflavones, play an estrogen-like role in the body.
1. It can improve menopausal symptoms and promote collagen production.
2. The level of equol production rate is ultimately related to the level of uric acid, triglyceride, blood sugar and bone density in the body.
3. Inhibit the growth of wrinkles, anti-aging.
Experiments have shown that only about 50% of Asians and about 30% of Westerners can convert soy isoflavones to equol in the gut. Taking equol daily is important to maintain and improve health not only for those who cannot produce equol in the intestine, but also for those who can, especially women whose female hormones drop dramatically after their 40s.
