Overview
Soy protein is an excellent way to add vegetable based protein to one’s diet. In October 1999, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved labeling claims for dietary soy protein stating that it may reduce heart disease. Diets rich in soy protein have also been found to reduce serum levels of total cholesterol. In addition to providing both essential and non-essential amino acids, our Soy Protein Powder is an excellent source of Soy isoflavones.

Scientists classify soy isoflavones from the plant Glycine max as phytoestrogens. Phyto is a Greek root word meaning plant, so phytoestrogens are plant-based compounds that have estrogen-like activity. Because they are structurally similar to estrogens, isoflavones exert weak estrogenic activity in the body. Because of their estrogen-like effects, isoflavones have been studied for a wide spectrum of health benefits. Soybeans and soy foods like tofu are the best dietary source of isoflavones. However, many soy protein concentrates and soy products processed with alcohol may not contain isoflavones. All of the Soy products we use are processed using only water and are derived from Soy that has not been genetically engineered.

Our Soy protein is available in 17.9 or 16 oz cans in a rich chocolate or creamy vanilla flavor.

• Studies have reported that Soy Isoflavones (phytoestrogens) act similar to the body's natural hormone estrogen. If you have or are susceptible to hormonally related cancers, such as breast, ovarian and prostate, consult your health care practitioner prior to using Soy Protein Powders.
• Consuming large amounts of Soy products could suppress thyroid function and/or cause a worsening of hypothyroidism. If you have any type of thyroid disease consult a health care practitioner prior to using Soy products.
• There is some concern about the use of soy-based infant formulas. Research indicates that exposing infants to high levels of soy isoflavones may cause problems with the infant’s hormonal development.
