Preferred Label : Fermented Soybean Extract;
NCIt synonyms : Fermented Soy; Fermented Soy Extract;
NCIt definition : A nutritional supplement composed of an organic fermented soybean extract, with potential
antioxidant, chemoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and immunostimulatory activities.
During the microbial fermentation process, the nutrients in the soybean are broken
down in many different substances, such as fatty acids, various amino acids and isoflavones,
such as genistein and daidzein. The extract also contains other beneficial dietary
nutrients, including certain trace elements and vitamins. Upon oral administration
of the fermented soybean extract, the active ingredients in the extract provide essential
nutrients to the body and may have immunostimulatory, pro-apoptotic, anti-proliferative,
and anti-inflammatory activities and may scavenge free radicals. In addition, many
ingredients in the soy extract may modulate key estrogen and androgen signaling pathways,
which may further induce apoptosis and reduce proliferation in tumor cells in which
these hormones are overactivated. The fermentation process allows for enhanced bioavailability
of the soy nutrients.;
