Summary:A randomized placebo-controlled double-blind study that evaluates the lipid-lowering effects of 2 different soy protein supplements suggests that the combination of isolated soy protein with soy-derived phospholipids and fibers showed twice the lipid-lowering effect compared with isolated soy protein alone. Moreover, soy protein supplements proved effective for reducing serum cholesterol levels and are therefore likely to diminish the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
