Frequently asked questions
Does it contain soy? Yes. It includes a soy isoflavone extract and plant sterols sourced from soy (Glycine max), so it is not a good fit if you avoid soy. The label also asks you to consult a practitioner for use beyond 12 weeks.
Is this the right product for me? The caution section is detailed and mentions several health histories and medications, so speak with your physician or book a consultation with one of our naturopaths before starting.
Natural health products should be used as directed on the label. Consult your health care practitioner before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication.
