Soy protein is a type of protein derived from soybeans that is widely consumed as a dietary supplement. It contains essential amino acids that the human body requires for growth and maintenance. The process of making soy protein involves removing the fat and carbohydrates from soybeans, leaving behind a high-protein powder. The resulting soy protein isolate is commonly used in protein bars, shakes, and other supplements. It is a great source of protein for vegetarians and vegans and is also low in fat and contains no cholesterol, making it a heart-healthy choice. Regular consumption of soy protein can help reduce the risk of heart disease, minimize cholesterol levels, and promote healthy bones. Currently, there are a wide variety of product variants available, including soy protein isolate, soy protein concentrate, and textured soy protein.
