    Worldwide, according to the World Health Organization, by 2020, the number of postmenopausal women represented more than 33% of the female population, while in Peru, by 2021, the population of menopausal women exceeded 54.6%. This research aimed to identify the benefits of supplementation with soy isoflavones in improving the quality of life and reducing the risk of associated morbidities in women over 45 years old with menopause and postmenopause. The Evidence-Based Nutrition (EBN) methodology was used. Information was searched in Pubmed, Embase, Scopus, Scielo, yielding 84 articles, of which 18 were selected and evaluated using the CASPE critical reading tool. The selected article has an AI level of evidence and a strong recommendation grade, according to the researcher's expertise. The critical review concluded that the use of soy isoflavone supplements has beneficial effects on controlling metabolic and neurological indicators typical during menopause and postmenopause, generating interest among researchers as an alternative for medical-nutritional treatment for this vulnerable group.
