Soy contains rich amounts of a unique class of compounds known as isoflavones. Epidemiological research in Asia shows that a diet rich in soy isoflavones has significant health-supporting benefits, especially for women. Specifically, they support immune and cardiovascular health and are beneficial during and after menopause. Planetary Herbals Full Spectrum Soy 1000 is a highly concentrated non-GMO, isoflavone-rich soy, specially prepared from soy germ. Unlike many soy products, which are by-products from the manufacture of soybean oil, Full Spectrum Soy 1000 is specifically designed as a health supplement, yielding low amounts of phytic acid.
