Revival Soy Doctor Q&A's
Name: Fred

Question:
I was wondering how your soy shakes compare to buying other soy Isolate powders, or Soy Isoflavones, would I be getting the same benefit from another company's soy products?
I Understand that just one of your servings has all you need per day, but can I do the same with those other products?
Thank You for your help.

Answer:
Hello Fred,

Thank you for your questions.

We will be glad to answer both questions, and this will help you to understand why Revival Soy is different than other soy protein Isolate powders or supplements.

Before we get started, please read the following: We do not give medical advice. We provide nutritional information regarding Revival Soy products and information available in the public domain for the uses of soy. We advise you to discuss your personal medical issues with your physician. I hope our information will be helpful to you.

Why is Revival Soy #1 Doctor-Recommended?

Great TASTE ( this is a BIG difference) , fast RESULTS, medical research and patented benefits!
Thousands of physicians have recommended Revival Soy. Read the full story at http://www.revivalsoy.com/whyrevival/recommended.html?pid=3000

Revival Soy is a medical-grade (i.e. used at leading hospitals for human clinical trials) soy protein for discerning, educated people.

How much soy should I consume?
How much Revival do I have to eat to see results?

Eating enough soy protein and soy isoflavones is essential to obtain soy’s full benefits. An international panel of leading soy researchers determined that 100 to 160 milligrams of soy isoflavones per day are likely needed to achieve all of the potential benefits of soy isoflavones. The FDA states that 25 grams of soy protein per day, with a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. The American Heart Association recommends 50 grams of soy protein per day.

We have an excellent summary of this at http://www.revivalsoy.com/whysoy/article.html?article=amount&pid=3000

How soon will I see results?

Our suggested usage is to enjoy 1 naturally-concentrated (6x) Revival bar or shake per day. Use Revival's baked soy chips, soy pasta, soy nuts, & soy "coffee" to boost protein intake.

How is Revival over 6 times more concentrated than other soy proteins and soy milk?

We go to where the isoflavones are — the center of the soybean (called the "hypocotyl"). Isoflavones, acting as antioxidants, surround and protect the soybean’s DNA right at its heart. Our patented natural concentration process allows us to blend this isoflavone-rich portion with a separate protein-rich portion, yielding a final product rich in both soy protein and soy isoflavones. This combination provides the naturally-concentrated benefits of Revival Soy without the need for chemical concentration.

Revival’s patented, natural concentration means just 1 Revival bar or shake contains the amount of soy isoflavones found in 6 cups of a typical soymilk — without the soy taste and with 90% less fat.

Revival contains a GUARANTEED AND CERTIFIED isoflavone level of 160 milligrams of total isoflavones--the amount found in 6 cups of a typical soymilk. Many major retail brands can’t promise you a certified level of isoflavones.

EXPERT PANEL RECOMMENDATIONS:

Appropriate Isoflavone Food Fortification Levels: Results of a Consensus Conference.

J.J.B. Anderson, H. Adlercreutz, S. Barnes, M.R. Bennink, M.S. Kurzer, P. Murphy, K. Setchell, C.M. Weaver, and C.M. Hasler.

Several leading isflavone researchers convened recently to establish appropriate isoflavone food fortification levels. A consensus was achieved after reviewing human studies in the areas of menopause, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. For the relief of menopausal symptoms, an intake of 60 mg aglycones was proposed, but consumption of soy protein in conjunction with the isoflavones was not specifically recommended. For improvement in bone mineral density, consumption of 60 to 100 mg aglycones per day, without any concomitant soy protein, was suggested. The consensus panel determined that the minimal intake needed to reduce serum LDL-cholesterol is between 37 and 62 mg aglycones per day, depending on prior cholesterol status (normo- vs. hypercholesterolemia), in conjunction with approximately 25 g of soy protein. The minimal intake for potentially reducing the risk of cancers of the breast, colon and prostate in humans was suggested to be between 50 and 110 mg per day of aglycones. No concomitant soy protein might augment activity of the isoflavones. For health benefits, recommended aglycone intakes ranged from 60 to 100 mg per day (100 to 160 mg glycosides). However, the panel recommended an isoflavone intake of 60 mg of aglycones per day (100 mg glycosides) as a reasonable and responsible food fortification level. The issue of whether soy protein needs to be consumed in conjunction with isoflavones to obtain optimal health benefits requires further experimental investigation.


RECOMMENDED LEVEL OF SOY PROTEIN AND SOY ISOFLAVONES:

Soy Protein (1)
25-50 grams/day

Total Isoflavones (2)
Heart Health: 60 - 105 mg/day
Menopausal Symptoms: 100 mg/day
Bone Mineral Health: 100 - 160 mg/day
Breast Health: 85-183 mg day
Colon Health: 85-183 mg/day
Prostate Health: 85-183 mg/day
Food Fortification Level: 100 mg/day
