Soy germ ingredient rich in daidzein

Description

SoyLife is a unique isoflavone ingredient manufactured exclusively from soy germ. Soy germ, rather than either the whole soybean or the fermented by-products of extraction, contains the highest natural level of isoflavones.
In contrast to a whole soybean extract, a germ extract is rich in the isoflavone daidzein, considered one of the most active constituents in soy, which can be metabolized to equol. Equol is important as it has a strong binding affinity for the estrogen receptor.
The body of scientific evidence for SoyLife is significant and provides insights into many health benefits, enabling market success of our customers. SoyLife opens up an array of new opportunities for inclusion in different segments such as dietary supplements and functional foods.
