However, not all studies were positive for isoflavones and their efficacy remains controversial
Also, because previous studies have shown that tea drinkers have higher mean BMD than non-tea drinkers in older adults, there is some epidemiological evidence for the benefits of tea, but no interventional studies have been performed to confirm this finding

Description

Background technique [0001] In general terms, the present invention relates to nutritional compositions for health benefits. More specifically, the present invention relates to beneficial compositions useful, for example, in improving bone density and bone formation, and methods related thereto. [0002] Bone mass develops progressively throughout life and is regulated by genetic, mechanical, and hormonal mechanisms. Acquisition of bone mineral occurs in childhood, with peak bone mass around age 20. During this period, bone formation exceeds bone resorption. Later in life and especially around menopause or in the elderly population, bone mass and quality are impaired due to higher bone turnover with excess bone resorption, resulting in a progressive loss of bone mass, microarchitecture, architecture and strength. To maintain bone health, it is important to restore the balance between bone formation and bone resorption. Regulation of this bone remodeling process at the bone...
