Phytonutrients

Protective compounds in every bean

Soy's natural plant compounds are widely studied for their health-protective potential.

Isoflavones

Genistein & Daidzin

Studied for protection against breast and other hormone-related cancers, cardiovascular support, and as a natural alternative to hormone-replacement therapy.

Saponins

Plant glycosides

Associated with antiviral activity, lower cholesterol (cardio-protective) and inhibition of colon cancer.

Phytosterols

Plant sterols

Linked to a reduced risk of heart disease and colon cancer.

Phytates

Phytic acid

May enhance anti-cancer immunity, balance iron levels and help protect against osteoporosis.
