Question
I'm interested in a soy extract product. I understand its active ingredient, `isoflavones`, has solubility issues in water. Can you provide an update on the development status of this product, specifically regarding how the solubility issue is being addressed, such as using `encapsulation` in `liposomes`?
Answer
Based on the information provided by the staff:
- The active ingredient in soy extract is isoflavones, which are difficult to dissolve in water.
- The company is currently working with the manufacturer to encapsulate the isoflavones in liposomes.
- This process aims to improve solubility in liquids and enhance skin penetration.
- The product is still in the research and development stage.
- An estimated time for its availability is not yet known.
