Across 3 studies, 2 reported beneficial effects on menopausal symptoms (one small, one moderate) while 1 found no effect. A meta-analysis of 7 studies (533 participants) found a small but statistically significant benefit (Hedges' g = -0.25). One RCT using 60 mg soy isoflavones daily for 12 months showed moderate benefit. Evidence base is limited due to small number of studies.
