Soy has been used for thousands of years among the people of Eastern Asia and is
only recently finding popularity among mainstream America where animal products
have reigned supreme. Soy protein products, like Unicity’s Soy Protein, can be
good substitutes for animal products because, unlike some other beans, soy offers
a “complete” protein profile.
Unicity’s Soy Protein contains powerful nutrients called phytoestrogens.
Phytoestrogens are plant-derived nonsteroidal compounds that possess estrogenlike
biological activity.
In fact, a recent a meta-analysis of human studies conducted at the University of
Kentucky has established that soy consumption is significantly associated with
normal heart function in humans. These effects are largely attributed to the
isoflavone components of soy.
The potential health benefits of Unicity’s Soy Protein include:
- Reduction in menopause symptoms*
Soy isoflavones, some of the key, naturally occurring ingredients in Unicity’s Soy Protein, have also
been shown to support bone health and to maintain bone density in some in vitro and animal studies.
The soy isoflavone daidzein has demonstrated a significant ability to help maintain normal bone
health in both animal models and in humans.
