SOYAMAX™ AND A HEALTHY HEART
Twenty-five grams of soy protein a day, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. A single serving of SOYAMAX™ supplies 24 grams of soy protein. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the United States, with a death from CVD occurring every 33 seconds, or more than 2,600 every day. Soy's support of cardiovascular health is thought to come from the relation between soy protein consumption and serum lipid concentrations. Several studies have shown that the consumption of soy protein rather than animal protein better maintains healthy serum concentrations of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides, provided they are at healthy levels to begin with.
SOY: THE HEALTHY PROTEIN
Like animal protein, soy protein provides all the essential amino acids. However, it contains very little fat and no cholesterol.SOYAMAX is formulated with soy protein isolate, which contains small amounts of many essential minerals, as well as other important compounds such as isoflavones. Isoflavones may help maintain optimal bone health by retaining calcium. SOYAMAX contains a guaranteed level of naturally occurring soy isoflavones.With one of the highest concentrations of soy protein available today, SOYAMAX also has a low fat content. Each serving contains 24 grams of soy protein and only one gram of fat. Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. SOYAMAX is an outstanding source of low-fat, cholesterol-free, non-meat protein, and is easily digestible.
PHYTOCHEMICALS
Many of soy's benefits come from its numerous phytochemicals. These compounds include protease inhibitors (which may help maintain a healthy immune system) and saponins (which demonstrate antioxidant activity). Other important nutrients in soy are phytosterols, phenolic acids, and lecithin.
