A new study showed that geniVida genistein from DSM Nutritional Products reduced hot flashes and night sweats by 51% in postmenopausal women over three months. The study was presented by Dr. James Elliott at the 9th International Symposium on the Role of Soy in Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention and Treatment meeting in Washington, D.C.
The clinical study, conducted in collaboration with KGK Synergize Inc.

After 12 weeks the women on geniVida had a 51% reduction on hot flashes and night sweats compared to only 27% for the women in the placebo. For further information: www.www.dsm.com
