what is isoflavonoids and tanins?

Isoflavonoids are a class of flavonoids that are derived in the human diet mainly from soybean-based foods. The major dietary isoflavonoids, genistein and daidzein, have estrogen-like activity and are classed as phytoestrogens. Because estrogens can lower serum LDL cholesterol and raise HDL cholesterol, the objective of this study was to determine if isoflavonoids could improve serum lipids in healthy subjects. Forty-six men and 13 postmenopausal women not receiving hormone replacement therapy completed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of two-way parallel design and 8 wk duration. One tablet containing 55 mg of isoflavonoids (predominantly in the form of genistein) or one placebo tablet was taken daily with the evening meal. Subjects maintained their usual diet and physical activity, which were unchanged throughout the intervention. Measurement of isoflavonoids and their metabolites in 24-h urine samples provided an assessment of compliance and of isoflavonoid metabolism. Serum total, LDL, HDL and HDL subclass cholesterol, triglycerides and lipoprotein (a) were assessed at baseline and during the last week of intervention. After adjustment for baseline values, no significant differences in postintervention serum lipid and lipoprotein (a) concentrations between groups were identified. Further adjustment for age, gender and weight change did not alter the results. In addition, changes in urinary isoflavonoids were not significantly correlated with changes in serum lipids and lipoprotein (a). Therefore, this study does not support the hypothesis that isoflavonoid phytoestrogens can improve the serum lipids, at least in subjects with average serum cholesterol concentrations.\n\nThe chemical structure of isoflavones is very similar to that of our own estrogen. Because of this similarity in structure, isoflavones can interfere with the action of our own estrogen. Sometimes isoflavones will reduce the effects of estrogen because they compete with the same receptor sites on our cells. Some of the risks of excess estrogen can be lowered in this way.\n\nIsoflavones can also increase the estrogen activity. If during menopause the body's natural level of estrogen drops, isoflavones can compensate this by binding to same receptor sites, thereby easing menopause symptoms as a result. The best way to consume isoflavones is in the form soy or soyfoods, so you can benefit from other healthy components of soy. Soy contains many types of isoflavones, but the most beneficial are genistein (see picture) and daidzein. The highest amounts of isoflavones can be found in soy nuts and tempeh. Isoflavones are fairly stable. Under normal cooking conditions, isoflavones are not destroyed.\n\n\n\ntannin, tannic acid, or gallotannic acid, astringent vegetable product found in a wide variety of plants. Sources include the bark of oak, hemlock, chestnut, and mangrove; the leaves of certain sumacs; and plant galls. Tannin is also present in tea, coffee, and walnuts. A solution of tannic acid is obtained from one of these natural sources by extraction with hot water; in particular, gallotannic acid is obtained from plant gall. Tannin varies somewhat in composition, having the approximate empirical formula C76H52O46. Tannic acid is a colorless to pale yellow solid; it is believed to be a glucoside in which each of the five hydroxyl groups of the glucose molecule is esterified with a molecule of digallic acid. Tannin is used in tanning animal skins to make leather; it transforms certain proteins of animal tissue into compounds that resist decomposition. It is also used in manufacturing inks, as a mordant in dyeing, and in medicine as an astringent and for treatment of burns.

There is a compound in cranberry juice called Tannin which helps prevent the bacteria that causes bladder infections from clinging to the walls of the bladder.  Cranberry juice is actually more effective for the prevention of bladder infections since it doesn't actually kill the bacteria.  Your best bet to treat a bladder infection is to flush your system with water and to use cranberry juice as a preventative measure.

Heal what?  Green tea is a major source of anti-oxidant and anti-proliferative and anti-metastatic flavonoids - mainly catechins and flavanols.  These flavonoids can help prevent heart disease and many types of cancer. \n\n"Experimental studies  suggest that tea contains bioactive components that inhibit the development, growth and progression/metastasis of prostate cancer."\n\nBest wishes.

The seeds are rich in manganese, copper, and calcium (90 mg per tablespoon for unhulled seeds, only 10 mg for hulled seeds), and contain Vitamin B1 (thiamine) and Vitamin E (tocopherol). They contain powerful antioxidants called lignans, which are also anti-carcinogenic. They also contain phytosterols, which block cholesterol production. Sesame contains one lignan unique to it called sesamin. The nutrients of sesame seeds are better absorbed if they are ground or pulverised before consumption\nVR

They are caused by fluctuating and decreasing hormones as you go through perimenopause/menopause.  Soy phytoestrogen/isoflavones; increased consumption of vitamins B, C and E, as well as magnesium, calcium and potassium; avoidance of spicy foods, hot drinks, alcohol, and white sugars; herbs like ginseng, black cohosh, vitex agnus castus, blue cohosh, dong quai, wild yam root, licorice root, false unicorn, sarsaparilla, nux vomica and Evening Primrose Oil; topical progesterone creams; acupuncture; exercise; and traditional HRT prescriptions can all help.

Well, the operative word here is "Melanin".\n\nThis substance does not actually react to tan anything; it is just that your body produces more of this pigmentation in response to the stimulus of UV rays. It is meant to protect your skin from damage by the sun's rays.\n\nMelanin is a substance that gives color (pigmentation to your skin)

Broccoli and other leafy green veggies (spinish, kale, brussells sprouts), soy products like soy milk (tasty!) and tofu, almounds, and fortified foods like orange juice and cereals. Also antacids like Tums and supplements.\n\nDon't go for milk products. The animal protein makes you blood more acidic and more calcium is used up as a result. Backwards, huh?
