Can Soy Support Energy & Workouts?

CBN.com - Whether you need more energy to keep up with a busy schedule, your daily work out, or to simply enjoy life, soy protein may support better energy levels.

Healthy Support With Soy?

Soy protein has key nutritional qualities that support energy, stamina, and sports performance (better lean muscle mass, endurance and recovery time)(4-6).

1) Soy protein is rich in "branched-chain amino acids" which the body can burn as "fuel" to produce energy.

2) Soy may help stimulate the release of certain anabolic hormones that promote muscle formation.

3) Soy may help sustain endurance levels during exercise.

4) Soy may help improve recovery time and reduce post-exercise fatigue.

5) Soy helps support a healthy cardiovascular system (critical for exercising or an active lifestyle).

So, the next time you're feeling low on energy, try a low-carb, low-glycemic index soy protein product for a boost.
