Help please RE: Supplement Soy Isoflavones + Radiation Therapy

Hi P216,

Interesting articles. There has been more up to date review from Australia

The body of evidence does seem to indicate that soy products may be beneficial but I have no personal experience of it. As with any supplement you should check with the medical team before you take it as they can either increase or decrease the efficacy of the treatment. I personally would prefer to take soya in a more natural form from things like soya milk and edamame beans. Many people with PCa, particularly if accompanied with kidney problems, have reduced dairy intake and replaced milk with plant based products. I have also reduced the use of animal proteins and replaced them with beans, pulses etc. but was careful with the use of these when my husband was on radiotherapy.

Well done for getting so actively involved in this journey and keep digging.
