Soy isoflavones are phytoestrogens—plant-derived compounds with estrogen-like activity. They are commonly used to support female reproductive health, including aspects of the uterus, primarily due to their ability to bind to estrogen receptors and exert mild estrogenic or anti-estrogenic effects. Scientific studies have investigated soy isoflavones in relation to menopausal symptoms, endometrial health, and hormone balance. Some clinical trials suggest that soy isoflavones may modestly reduce menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes, which are linked to changes in uterine function. Additionally, limited evidence indicates that soy isoflavones do not increase endometrial thickness in postmenopausal women, suggesting a degree of safety for the uterus.

However, research specifically targeting soy isoflavones’ direct benefits for uterine health (such as prevention or treatment of uterine disorders) is limited and results are mixed. Most positive findings relate to their hormone-modulating effects, which may indirectly support the uterus, particularly during menopause. There is insufficient high-quality evidence to confirm significant benefit for conditions like fibroids, endometriosis, or other uterine pathologies. Overall, while there is some scientific support for their use in supporting general female reproductive health, robust clinical evidence for their specific benefits on the uterus is moderate at best.
