Contains a high-quality soy protein isolate
25 grams of soy protein a day, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease*

Guaranteed levels of naturally occurring soy isoflavones
SOYAMAX™ AND A HEALTHY HEART*Twenty-five grams of soy protein a day, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. A single serving of SOYAMAX™ supplies 24 grams of soy protein. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the United States , with a death from CVD occurring every 33 seconds, or more than 2,600 every day. Soy's support of cardiovascular health is thought to come from the relation between soy protein consumption and serum lipid concentrations. Several studies have shown that the consumption of soy protein rather than animal protein better maintains healthy serum concentrations of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides, provided they are at healthy levels to begin with.*

SOY: THE HEALTHY PROTEINLike animal protein, soy protein provides all the essential amino acids. However, it contains very little fat and no cholesterol. SOYAMAX is formulated with soy protein isolate, which contains small amounts of many essential minerals, as well as other important compounds such as isoflavones. Isoflavones may help maintain optimal bone health by retaining calcium.* SOYAMAX contains a guaranteed level of naturally occurring soy isoflavones. With one of the highest concentrations of soy protein available today, SOYAMAX also has a low fat content. Each serving contains 24 grams of soy protein and only one gram of fat. Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. SOYAMAX is an outstanding source of low-fat, cholesterol-free, non-meat protein, and is easily digestible.

PHYTOCHEMICALSMany of soy's benefits come from its numerous phytochemicals. These compounds include protease inhibitors (which may help maintain a healthy immune system*) and saponins (which demonstrate antioxidant activity*). Other important nutrients in soy are phytosterols, phenolic acids, and lecithin.

We all know that protein builds strong bodies, and it's not difficult to get protein from a normal diet. It's not so easy, however, to obtain high-quality protein that contains the full range of essential amino acids in amounts proportional to the body's needs. 1

SoyaMax is formulated with soy protein isolate, which contains all the essential amino acids and is the most complete vegetable protein source known today. Soy protein isolate also contains small amounts of many essential minerals as well as other important compounds, such as isoflavones. USANA's exclusive PotenSoy" formulation of soy protein in SoyaMax guarantees a full 60 mg of isoflavones per serving.

SoyaMax contains amounts of soy protein that are among the highest concentrations available today, with the lowest fat content. Each serving contains 24 grams of soy protein and only 1 gm of fat. SoyaMax is an outstanding source of low-fat, cholesterol-free, non-meat protein, and it's easily digestible, too.

SOY'S MANY HEALTH BENEFITS
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recognizes that twenty-five grams of soy protein a day, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.
Soy protein also has antioxidant effects and has been shown to suppress the oxidation of LDL and cholesterol.3* Soy protein may also help to promote bone health, primarily by lessening calcium loss in the urine.4* Soy protein also provides B vitamins, iron, and other minerals. Health professionals also advocate soy for its value in helping regulate hormones.

PHYTOCHEMICALS
Many of soy's health benefits come from its numerous phytochemicals. These compounds include protease inhibitors, which may protect cells from radiation and environmental pollutants;* phytates, which may enhance the immune system;* and saponins, which demonstrate antioxidant activity.* Other important phytochemicals in soy are phytosterols, phenolic acids, and lecithin.5 THE POTENSOY FORMULATIONMany of the soy products available in the United States have been processed in a way that removes most of the isoflavones, or cannot guarantee their levels. SoyaMax with PotenSoyTM contains a guaranteed minimum of 2.5 mg of isoflavones per gram of soy protein.

SOY PROTEIN ISOLATEThe soy protein in SoyaMax is produced by an isoelectric/water process. This process delivers a high concentration of soy protein and leaves most of the isoflavones intact. The result is an isolate with a protein content of 90 percent and a high level of isoflavones. (my comment: it is my understanding that genistein and diadzein
are derived from soy protein isolate)

INGREDIENTS: POTENSOY (SOY PROTEIN ISOLATE, ISOFLAVONE CONCENTRATE), NATURAL VANILLA FLAVOR.
