Non-gmo Soy Protein Isolate

Soy protein isolate is a highly purified form of soy protein, with most of the fat and carbohydrates removed. It is made from soybeans, which are legumes. The soybeans are processed to separate the protein from other components.

Soy protein isolate is often used as a protein supplement in foods like bars, shakes, and vegetarian meat alternatives. It helps increase the protein content of a product and can also act as a binder or emulsifier.

Soy protein isolate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of complete protein, containing all essential amino acids. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated soy protein, but no specific numeric limits are typically set for this ingredient in its isolated form. Some studies suggest potential benefits for heart health when soy protein replaces animal protein, but evidence is mixed and more research is ongoing.
