Eating enough soy protein and soy isoflavones is essential to obtain soy’s full benefits according to some soy research experts. An international panel of leading soy researchers recommended that more than 100 milligrams of soy isoflavones per day are needed to achieve all of the potential health benefits of soy isoflavones.1
Asian isoflavone intake levels of up to 150-200 milligrams per day have been quoted in the prestigious journals of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Menopause.2,3 A study in Taiwan found that children consume close to 40 milligrams of isoflavones per day.4 Asian populations have consumed soy-rich diets for thousands of years, but many experts believe that soy consumption is declining due to a ‘Westernization’ of the Asian diet.
You can easily control your isoflavone intake level with Revival Soy. For example, if you want to consume 80 milligrams of isoflavones per day, simply enjoy 1/2 of a naturally concentrated Revival bar or shake daily (each bar or shake contains approximately 160 milligrams of soy isoflavones).
