Super Soy for a girl or a boy!

I was just looking at this at the store and they had it combine w/ 100mg of red clover and thats on your no no list

I ended up having to buy mine online, because our local stores only had it as some sort of combo.

yeah I remeber looking through the list and seeing red clover. walmart had the plain veresion but it did have calcium added but that's on the girl sway so thought it would be ok-

I can't find the link to the ones I took, and I no longer have the bottle. I'm sorry! But they had 60 mg each, so I took 3 a day on days 3-7. I didn't really have any side effects except WAY more EWCM and a feeling of pressure in my abdomen around O time. It took 3 cycles on soy to get my bfp and we don't know if it's a girl or a boy yet.

Thanks! One thing I do think needs to be added (I'm not sure if it came up earlier in this thread or not) but when you're looking at the total mg per capsule, make sure you're looking at the SI amount and not the "full" amount. There should be a place in the nutritional/dosage info that says something like "120 mg capsules, with 40 mg soy isoflavones" or something similar. You want to dose by the actual SI amount. And yes, many of the brands show numbers like this even if it only contains soy -- I know mine did, and there have been other threads about it in the past.

Good luck!

yeah mine just says 40 mg soy and 150 mg calcium

[atomic sagebrush]

I have never heard of soy with calcium?? That may be for menopause too. how many mg of soy??

I personally would not take the calcium, but if it's a small amount it may be just used for formulating the pill and not to give you a big dose of calcium. BUT if it's some kind of menopause supp, then it may have calcium for bone health and then a smaller dose of soy.

Yes, those are not going to work because in order for you to get up to the 100-200 mg soy, you are taking a big dose of calcium. Those are meant for menopausal women who are having hot flashes and are worried about their bone health.

Even if you are a big believer in calcium swaying pink it still won't work because you only take the soy for 5 days and would have to supplement with additional calcium the rest of the month.
