Soy protein

Soy is one of the first functional foods. It is a source of proteins, polyunsaturated (ω3 and ω6) fatty acids, plant fibers, phytochemicals, vitamins and minerals. Its beneficial health properties are mainly attributed to the proteins and isoflavones it contains.

The soybean is rich in nutrients, essential for the proper functioning of the body, such as calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, B vitamins and folic acid. Also, soy is the only plant-based food that contains all 22 amino acids that the human body needs. Soybean oil is also rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, while it does not contain any cholesterol.

• Contributes to the protection against osteoporosis, combined with regular exercise and consumption of dairy products

• It has an antioxidant effect thanks to the isoflavones it contains. Isoflavones are plant chemicals that regulate hormones in the body and prevent the growth of free radicals.

• There is evidence that it relieves menopausal symptoms.

The above of course applies when soy is consumed in moderation and in combination with the other basic food groups.
