An interesant site about isopure proteins. Has all sort of funny info’s about isopure proteins

Menopause is a natural stage of life all women experience as they age. And while it may be normal, it certainly doesn’t feel normal. The hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings and lack of energy can make menopause one of the most physically and emotionally miserable times in a woman’s life. So, let’s review what causes menopause, what you can expect, and how soy can help support a more comfortable midlife.

While soy is not a replacement for prescription medication or HRT, over twenty clinical trials show that soy can help you have a more enjoyable and healthy midlife by lessening hot flashes and other common discomforts of menopause.1-10 Soy consumption has been shown to significantly improve a woman’s comfort and health during perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause. A medical review in American Family Physician (the journal of the prestigious American Association of Family Physicians) found that soy can significantly improve the discomforts of menopause. A recent Revival clinical trial also showed very positive benefits. Typical hot flash reduction was nearly 40% in just 12 weeks in a clinical study.

Scientists became very interested in soy’s potential role for menopause health support after demographic studies revealed that only ~9% of women living in Asia, where the diet is rich in soy, experienced hot flashes during mid-life, in contrast to almost ~80 to 90% of Western women who experience menopausal discomforts.

1. Soy protein increases the nutritional value of other foods due to its complete amino acid profile.
2. Soy protein has a 1.0 PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid score) score – the highest possible. The PDCAAS is the standard measurement of protein quality.
3. Soy has been shown to reduce the likelihood of heart disease through its ability to lower cholesterol. Results from a meta-analysis of 38 clinical studies concluded that soy protein consumption may help lower total blood cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol as compared to animal protein consumption.
4. In 1999, the FDA determined that four-servings of soy protein per-day could reduce LDL cholesterol (the bad type, HDL being the good) by up to 10%.
5. Although soy helps to lower LDL, it doesn’t effect HDL status, which is also a good thing. The American Heart Association also recommends the consumption of soy protein (with naturally occurring isoflavones) as part of a heart-healthy diet for those with elevated total and LDL cholesterol.
6. Soy protein is also thought to reduce the risk of other illnesses such as colon, breast and prostate cancer, as well as osteoporosis. Research has shown several bioactive compounds found in soybeans (isoflavones being one) to reduce the risk of certain cancers⁷.
7. Soy enhances athletic performance. The isoflavones found in soy protein produce antioxidant effects, which speed recovery and reduce muscle soreness and inflammation.
8. In addition, soy does supply a full complement of amino acids for the exercising muscles – muscles will become larger and stronger with soy protein. In fact, athletes who incorporate both soy and whey protein in their nutritional regimens may benefit from their different rates of digestion and amino acid absorption. Whey protein digests more quickly, while soy protein digests more gradually. Together, they may provide a more prolonged, deliberate release of amino acids to key muscle groups.
9. Cost: one of the biggest benefits to the consumer is the considerable reduction in cost, using soy will present. With whey protein costs soaring, soy might prove to be much less expensive (around two-dollars-per-pound less).
10. . Beneficial for women’s health. Consuming soy protein has a number of benefits unique to women’s health, including the alleviation of symptoms associated with menopause, the protection of bone health and the a reduction of the risk of breast cancer.
