A soy-dairy protein blend has been shown to extend the anabolic window and promote muscle growth by stimulating muscle protein synthesis. The study found that consumption of the blend after exercise prolonged amino acid delivery to muscles and extended muscle cell growth signaling.
A new study found that consuming a blend of proteins (soy, whey and casein) post-workout can increase muscle protein synthesis and provide an extended release of amino acids. This combination appears to offer the optimal delivery of essential amino acids for up to five hours.
A recent study published in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry has evaluated a new method for determining protein quality. Soy protein was found to be a high-quality protein with a PDCAAS score of 1.00, comparable to animal-based proteins like eggs, dairy, and meat.
A new study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that soy protein supplementation can help lower blood lipids and reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. The study found that soy protein significantly increased HDL cholesterol and lowered LDL cholesterol, providing a potential cardiovascular benefit.
A new study published in Journal of Clinical Lipidology shows that soy protein significantly lowers total and non-HDL cholesterol levels compared to milk protein. The results suggest a novel mechanism for soy protein's cholesterol-lowering effects, which do not involve increased bile acid excretion.
