I understand ipraflavone was originally isolated from soy, it resembles the isoflavone daidzen and is a patented compound.
Studies have shown "that ipriflavone improves bone density especially when given with calcium. Studies have also shown it improves bone density in individuals with osteoporosis induced form taking steroid medication. If it is combined with minerals, vitamin D, and exercise you cuold potentially achieve excellent results."

What do you all think?

I would really like to know more about this, too. I have read that soy can be very helpful in building/maintaing bone mass due to the estrogen-like effects. My osteoporosis is (apparently) due to lack of estrogen from my anorexia. I have started taking soy supplements (just recently) but I don't know how much it will help. I wonder if others have had advice on this, one way or the other, from their doctors? (I'll ask my doctor next time I see her.)

K. There are other posts on the subject, no time to find them now, but much more details, pros and cons and a a paper written on the subject.
It's big in Japan, and Italy and I did start taking it, then I read it can lower the white blood count and mine is aready low, so I stopped. However, if it weren't for that, I'd definitely be taking it.
Don't expect your doctor to do anything except roll his or eyes to the ceiling. They only know of conventional meds, notthing complimentary, unless they are into alternative options, but few are. My rheumatologist is, and he did recommended it, although a conventional doctor, but he has an open mind and is the future of medicine, I feel, not the ones who only know of meds, with their side effects as the answer to everything.
