Soy Good for Your Skin: Dermatology and Soy Isoflavone Intake
Course Overview
Preview what you'll learn in this program
What You'll Learn
In addition to existing research suggesting even modest amounts of soy foods favorably affect several skin parameters, a newly conducted randomized controlled trial greatly adds to the evidence that soy foods benefit the skin. Hear from the principal investigator of this research, Raja Sivamani, MD, MS, AP, about the findings which demonstrate the positive impact soy protein and soybean isoflavones can have on wrinkle depth, hydration, and pigmentation.
The impact of soy foods and soybean components such as isoflavones on skin health is just one of the many areas that have been rigorously researched over the past 30 years. In fact, more than 40,000 soy-related peer-reviewed medical and scientific articles on soy have been published during this time. But soy is not without controversy, as questions have arisen such as "does soy affect hormones?" and "will soy increase risk of breast cancer?" and "does soy cause allergic reactions?" Mark Messina, PhD, MS, an internationally recognized soy expert, will present the science on these topics and more.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the Role of Soy Isoflavones: Identify the key components of soy isoflavones and their mechanisms in promoting skin health
- Evaluate Dermatological Research: Analyze recent studies on the impact of soy isoflavone intake on skin aging and overall skin condition
- Apply Knowledge to Skincare: Determine practical ways to incorporate soy isoflavones into a skincare routine based on current dermatological findings
- Assess Benefits and Limitations: Critically assess the effectiveness and potential limitations of soy isoflavones in dermatological applications
