From the University of Maryland:
"Soy isoflavones may help reduce hot flashes and night sweats that many women have during menopause. In clinical studies, postmenopausal women who eat high amounts of dietary soy protein (20 to 60 g per day) generally have fewer and less intense hot flashes and night sweats than those who eat less soy.
Results of studies about whether soy supplements reduce menopausal symptoms have been mixed. In several studies, women who took the placebo also had fewer menopausal symptoms."
