New Proof of Genistein's Efficacy and Safety for Osteopenia and,Osteoporosis Published in Annals of Internal Medicine

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 27, 2007 - Annals of Internal Medicine has published the results of a two-year clinical study on the impact of genistein on bone loss. The paper, "Effects of the Phytoestrogen Genistein on Bone Metabolism in Osteopenic Postmenopausal Women-A Randomized Trial," appears in the current issue (June 19, 2007) and details the safety and efficacy of genistein for the dietary management of osteopenia and osteoporosis.

No changes were noted in any of these parameters except for mild GI symptoms.

Patients in the test group of the study used 54 mg/day of highly purified genistein isolated from soy along with calcium and vitamin D. Principle Investigator for the study, Francesco Squadrito, M.D., Professor of Pharmacology and Head of Clinical Pharmacology, School of Medicine, University of Messina, Italy, explains that there were some interesting aspects to the study: "The placebo in this study was not an inactive pill; instead it was the current standard of care for osteopenia - calcium plus vitamin D.
