It is a good source of protein and fiber and contains 25 mg of isoflavones and 650 mg of plant sterols.

“Beverages like the ones we’re featuring this year are an excellent way to deliver the benefits consumers want–whether it’s increasing fiber intake or adding plant sterols–without compromising taste,” said Greg Dodson, business manager, ADM Natural Health and Nutrition.
In addition, ADM will sponsor a Vendorworks program on “Isoflavone Efficacy and Safety.” Mark Messina, Ph.D., M.S., will discuss soy isoflavones as a natural way to reduce menopausal symptoms, like hot flashes, and will explore recent clinical data on many of the potential benefits of isoflavones in relation to women’s health.
