What Soy Can Do for You

What can soy do for you?

Research shows that soy may help to:

Lower cholesterol
Promote weight loss
Reduce bone loss
Provide menopausal relief
Protect against Alzheimer’s disease
Protect against breast and prostate cancer

Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 25 grams of soy protein a day may reduce the risk of heart disease. Two servings of Watkins SoyNilla contain 27 grams of soy protein.

*SoyNilla is currently available in the US only.

Soy promotes weight loss!
Soy may aid in weight control by helping to block the storage of fat,
increase fat-burning, and reduce food cravings. Use SoyNilla along with
Watkins Weight Management System for optimum results!

Soy reduces bone loss!
Soy protein powder with high levels of isoflavones (not soy protein alone)
reduced bone loss and may cut the lifetime risk
of osteoporosis, according to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Soy reduces hot flashes!
According to the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists,
40 to 80
mg of soy isoflavones per day may be helpful in the treatment of hot flashes. Watkins SoyNilla provides 50 mg of soy isoflavones per serving.

Soy may reduce risk of Alzheimer’s
Soy isoflavones reduce the development of a protein in the brain that leads
to Alzheimer’s Disease, according to researchers at the
University of Alabama.

Soy protects against cancer!
Studies show that soy protein suppresses the hormones associated with
development of breast and prostate cancer.
According to the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism,
“Our results may have implications for breast cancer prevention by soy
intervention.”
