Dear Maggie,
It is true that flax and soy contain a fair amount of phytoestrogens. So do all beans. But flax seeds, soy milk, soyburgers, tempeh, etc. can all be used in the diet while you are taking Royal Maca. It is dietary supplements made from soybeans–pills and capsules in most cases–in which the phytoestrogens have been extracted and concentrated–that must not be taken together with Royal Maca. It is a combination that overstimulates the body and creates increased hot flashes in most women that already have hot flashes. This combo also contributes to insomnia and irritability.
