Good morning, does soy sauce and soy in general affect the effectiveness of birth control pills? I've heard that it contains estrogen in it.

No, soy sauce will not affect the effectiveness of birth control pills. Preparations with a high content of phytoestrogens can indeed weaken the effect of hormonal contraception, but this applies to supplements with a standardized content of active substances, not the ingredients of the meal. You can find more information about combining the tablets with food here:

If you have any doubts, I encourage you to take advantage of the teleconsultation with a gynecologist, available on our website in the in-visit tab:
