Q: I’m wondering about why I should add a raw, soy protein powder to my diet?
A: Here is an article (click to download in Adobe Acrobat format) written by Jim Burke, former cancer researcher at the Mayo Clinic which gives excellent information on soy and the particular brand we market. Jim has degrees in biology, chemistry, physics and advanced training in the field of histology and cell development at the Mayo clinic. He has a 12-year background in the area of cancer research and has extensive knowledge about the research behind our vendor’s products.
I honestly can tell you from a personal perspective, that I can’t even go a single day without taking soy at least once if not twice a day. My energy level, ability to concentrate and endurance when exercising are so much higher that it simply isn’t worth it for me to skip a day. I simply pay too big a price. I also have noticed that the results I see from my exercise are increased significantly in terms of lean muscle, recovery and endurance. I simply get far superior results.
NOTE: Stress is the greatest factor in protein utilization in the body. Under stress the body’s demand for amino acids increases six times. Soy is so readily available to the body; it can help counter these changes. Other proteins just take too long to digest and do not supply an adequate amount of amino acids. So in most cases the body must attack the muscles to try and get the amino acids that are needed.
