Soya Benefits:
Soy protein products can be good substitutes for animal products because, unlike some other beans, Soy offers a "complete" protein profile.
Soybeans contain all the amino acids essential to human nutrition, which must be supplied in the diet because they cannot be synthesized by the human body. Soy protein products can replace animal-based foods which also have complete proteins but tend to contain more fat, especially saturated fat, without requiring major adjustments elsewhere in the diet. Soya protein is probably one of the most important aspects of a vegetarian’s diet - it's the closest vegetable protein that resembles meat proteins. This doesn't mean Soy protein is only used by vegetarians.
Many people make an effort to include soy products in their diet, and many people use Soy protein supplements. Many people prefer to supplement soy protein in their diet, you can, by all means, supplement your training with Soy protein as well.
The best thing is probably to mix your Soya protein powder with some type of whey protein supplement. This way, you get the benefit of all types of the proteins and their amino acid make up.
[The following article as featured in FLEX edition February 2007]
Scientists in the Nutrition Division of Miami Research Associates compared four different protein powders (Soya Protein Concentrate, Soya Protein Isolate, a Soya/Whey blend and Whey Protein Isolate) for their ability to increase muscle mass and affect hormone levels namely, testosterone and oestrogen. They fed 41 bodybuilders one of the listed protein shakes twice a day for 12 weeks. At the end of the period, they discovered that all of the protein supplements increased muscle mass just as well as Whey protein did. In addition they found no difference in effects on testosterone or Oestrogen levels.
