Shaklee's Energizing Soy Protein Lowers Cholesterol
Comments from Dr. Steve Chaney, U.N.C.
Chapel Hill
The American Heart Association has recently
recommended soy protein as part of a heart-healthy diet, but it has not been
clear whether it was the isoflavones, the low fat content, or the amino acid
composition of the soy protein that deliver the cholesterol-lowering
benefits. Shaklee's latest, ground
beaking clinical study provides the answer to that question. The study was conducted by Dr. William Haskell
and his colleagues at the Stanford University Medical Center and was published
in the latest issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (volume 73,
April 2001, pp.728-735).
Shaklee
provided three different protein supplements for the study: Shaklee's Energizing Soy Protein, a version
of Energizing Soy Protein that contained no isoflavones, and a low fat
milk-based protein supplement similar in composition to Shaklee's Meal Shake except
that the protein and carbohydrate composition were adjusted to be the same as
the soy proteins. The participants
consumed 3 servings (42g of protein) of these protein supplements in a
randomized, double bind, placebo controlled, 16-week clinical trial. The participants were instructed by a
dietitian to make dietary adjustments so that there were no changes in overall
protein or caloric intake in their diets.
The results were dramatic. The decrease in LDL cholesterol (the bad
cholesterol) was 4 times greater with the Energizing Soy Protein than with the
soy protein supplement that lacked isoflavones.
Interestingly, the low fat, milk based
protein supplement was almost as effective as Energizing Soy Protein at
lowering cholesterol. This is an
important finding because Shaklee's Energizing Soy Protein and Instant Protein
Soy Mix are standardized to contain 27mg of isoflavones/serving. Many other soy protein supplements on the
market are prepared with an alcohol washing procedure that removes all of the
isoflavones. Still other supplements may
say on the label that they have soy isoflavones, but in fact they cannot
guarantee that each batch of their product delivers what they promise because
they do not manufacture their products according to pharmaceutical
standards. The bottom line is
clear. Shaklee's Energizing
Soy Protein is clinically proven to lower
serum cholesterol levels. Our
competitor's products are not! Plus if
you can't use the Energizing Soy Protein for one reason or another, our Meal
Shakes aren't a bad second choice!
Menarik kan hasil kajian ni. Terbukti yang isoflavones dalam Energizing Soy Protein (ESP) banyak khasiatnya. Salah satu daripadanya ialah menurunkan kadar kolestrol jahat dalam badan, seterusnya meningkatkan kesihatan jantung anda! So, hati-hati bila mencari minuman soya di luar sana. Bukan semuanya sama. Walaupun bukan semua yang mahal adalah yang terbaik, tetapi kualiti ESP Shaklee adalah setanding harganya.
Fakta tentang Energizing Soy Protein Shaklee
Energizing Soy Protein is high in protein, that is naturally low in fat, and naturally lactose and cholesterol free. It also provides all the amino acids,including the nine essential ones your body needs but cannot manufacture itself. Using the newest methods for assessing the quality of protein, soy protein that given the score of 1.0 — the highest rating possible and equal to that given animal proteins such as those from eggs and milk. Energizing Soy Protein products are also good sources of calcium and iron.
In addition, Energizing Soy Protein provides naturally occurring beneficial plant compounds that are being extensively studied. Soy contains isoflavones, especially genistein and daidzein. These are intriguing to researchers because they are phytoestrogens and maybe related to soy’s ability to regulate hormonal balance and deliver long-term health benefits.
Some soy protein products are alcohol-processed, which removes isoflavones. Energizing Soy Protein is water washed to retain naturally occurring isoflavones such asgenistein and daidzein. Shaklee uses only non-genetically modified (GMO) soy protein certified through an Identity Preservation Program (IPP). This program assures that the soy we use is tightly monitored and controlled from planting and harvesting to processing.
