Soy Protein

Soy protein offers many benefits for health not offered by other vegetable protein products.

Soy protein offers many benefits including antioxidant activity, cancer protection and the dietary advantage of being a complete protein. Soy has been consumed for its health benefits in Asia for centuries and was grown during the great depression to revitalize the land of the dust bowl. While soy is largely used in agriculture as livestock feed and in industry for its oil, the best use of the bean may be for its soy protein content along with other health benefits.

There are 20 amino acids necessary for functioning of the human body. Amino

acids are important in the development and maintenance of every type of tissue such as muscle, skin and bone tissue. Amino acids are also the foundation of DNA, RNA and many enzymes working to regulate health throughout the body. Of these 20 amino acids, 11 of them may be manufactured by the body. The other 9 amino acids are referred to as “essential amino acids”, meaning that they must be obtained through the diet. Soy protein is the only plant based protein which contains all 9 essential amino acids.

Most diets must include meat in order to meet dietary requirements and vegetarians who do not consume animal products may not be meeting protein and amino acid requirements. Many plants do contain some amino acids but they are considered to be “incomplete proteins”. Soy protein is a “complete protein” because it has all of the amino acids needed. Soy protein also has advantages for health not offered by other vegetable protein products.

Products containing soy protein such as Revival Soy Bars and Revival Soy shakes are loaded with phytonutrients and phytochemicals such as antioxidants. Perhaps the most important phytochemical contained in soy protein are isoflavones. Isoflavones such as daidzein, genistein and glycitein are known to act as phytohormones to protect against diseases. The isoflavones contained in soy protein can help prevent disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, atherosclerosis and cancer, along with other hormone related problems such as prostate disease and menopausal related difficulties.

Regular consumption of soy protein can protect against Alzheimer’s disease by slowing the production

of amyloid plaques in the brain. This helps preserve memory and cognitive function. Soy protein may provide protection against the development of plaques inside of the blood vessels leading to the heart and brain by lowering the cholesterol levels leading to a decreased risk of heart attack and stroke. Soy protein’s estrogen like activity may reduce the risk of hormone related cancers such as prostate cancer, bladder cancer and breast cancer along with other types of cancer by acting in opposition to testosterone. Soy protein may also help to ease the onset of menopause and relieve some symptoms such as hot flashes and memory loss. It may also protect against osteoporosis in both women and men by provision of phytohormone protection.
