Soy, Fiber, Dairy & Whey

What type of soy is in Medifast?

Medifast uses Supro® brand soy protein, a high-quality complete protein derived from soybeans. Supro® is produced by The Solae Company. The Solae Company has been conducting soy protein research for more than 30 years.

What are the benefits of soy?

Not only is soy protein a source of high-quality protein, it is thought to play both a preventative and therapeutic role in the following:

Studies show naturally occurring isoflavones (such as those in Supro® brand soy protein) have increased the mineral content and density of bones, which may protect against the risk of bone fractures and osteoporosis.
Studies have indicated that a regular intake of soy foods may help to prevent hormone-related cancers such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, and colon cancer.
Soy works to lower LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) levels in the blood. Reductions in LDL cholesterol have been shown to help decrease the risk for heart disease.
Soy may reduce triglyceride levels and increases HDL cholesterol levels (good cholesterol), which further reduces the risk of heart disease.
Soy isoflavones, which are a natural phytoestrogen source, may help reduce menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes or night sweats.
Soy is a complete protein, providing all of the essential amino acids.
