Abstract
Objective: To review the current literature assessing the effects of soy on fertility and the biological markers related to fertility.
Methods: Articles were gathered through PubMed, CINAHL, and Google Scholar in fall 2024 to assess the different ways in which soy consumption affects fertility in both men and women. The components of fertility or interest are AMH levels, sperm concentration, estradiol concentration, and antral follicle count.
Results: Most of the articles found a negative correlation between soy consumption and the factors attributed to fertility. However, there were some articles that did not find any statistically significant relationship between soy consumption and fertility; along with some articles finding a positive correlation between the two in women.
Conclusion: Soy consumption has been shown to negatively impact fertility rates along with the factors that contribute to fertility in both men and women. Further research is needed in order to better understand the demographic significance of soy consumption on fertility.
