What is Soy Protein Powder? Soybeans are high-protein legumes, or beans, which contain no cholesterol. The soy plant has the highest quality protein of any plant food. Its high protein content is considered equivalent to animal foods. Like meats, soy is a complete protein providing all of the essential amino acids your body needs but does not produce on its own. Soy foods offer an excellent source of protein to support a healthy lifestyle. It is also a superior protein source for vegetarians. Soy protein is approved for those who are lactose intolerant, and can be used as a meat substitute. Much more than just an ingredient for a protein drink, soy protein can be used for cooking instead of flour, producing high protein foods that are extremely low in fat, a bodybuilder’s dream come true! Soy protein is derived exclusively from soybeans. Who needs it and are there any symptoms of deficiency? As soy is not a required nutrient, it is not associated with deficiency. However, if you don’t take soy, you’ll miss out on the associated benefits. Women can benefit with it the most, although men can experience the positive benefits of soy as well. How much should be taken? Are there any side effects? Soy may be safely taken in a wide range of doses. Only a very small percentage of people are allergic to soy. Be sure to consult your physician if you’re on any prescription drugs, as soy may have positive or negative interactions with those drugs. Soy contains phytic acid, a compound that may interact with mineral absorption
