Solgen SR (min. 30% soy isoflavones with 55% min. in the genistin and genistein forms) is a free flowing granule coated with cellulose derivatives in order to release the active ingredient over a period of 12 hours. It can be used in compressed tablets or hard-gel capsules. Solbar’s Solgen soy isoflavones have been registered by a European Drug Master File.

Solgen SR is one in a series of natural soy isoflavone extracts being presented at the Vitafoods 2008 for a variety of health benefits.
Following two years of product development, Israel´s Solbar Plant Extracts opened 2008 with new introductions to the global cosmeceuticals market. Solbar’s range of Solgen natural soy isoflavone extracts have been designed for both topical and inside out beauty applications. Soy Isoflavones are phytoestrogens structurally and functionally similar to estrogen. Clinical research has shown that soy isoflavones can act as age-defying ingredients, not only helping in various conditions from hot flushes to osteoporosis, but also to help recover and reinforce skin elasticity, and improve antioxidant activity. Clinically tested phyto-estrogens have also demonstrated important synergistic benefits; for example together with grape seed extracts and natural lycopene.
