Soy protein comes from the humble soybean, which boasts some extraordinary benefits:
* In 1999, the FDA approved a dietary health claim for soy protein foods, recommending an average daily intake of 25 grams of soy protein, withsoy isoflavones, in addition to a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet, to reduce the risk of heart disease.
* The FDA found that foods containing soy protein included in a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of cardiac-heart disease by lowering blood cholesterol levels.

Soy protein and Isoflavones:
One of the ways that soy protein seems to promote heart health is thanks to its high content of isoflavones:

• Soya protein and soy isoflavones have been shown to promote healthy cholesterol that is already within normal range.
• Soy isoflavones help the body regulate oestrogen levels, which may help alleviate many of the symptoms associated withmenopause and PMS.
• Soy protein enhances the body's ability to retain and better absorb calcium into the bones. Soy isoflavones help by slowing bone loss and inhibiting bone breakdown.
