Because NZYMES® formula is primarily sprout-derived, it avoids
the trypsin inhibitors found in raw soybeans which can disrupt the digestive tract.
Of course, like all "LIVE" food components, heat can damage or destroy
enzymes and heat-sensitive nutrients, whereas sprouting activates the "life
force" of the seed, increasing the "energy" and preserving the
soy complex.
Further, the low-temperature drying process of the NZYMES® formula preserves
the integrity of the proteins, enzymes, lipids, vitamins, minerals and phytochemical
matrix. (see below). It also preserves the naturally occurring rich supply of
phytosomes and the integrity of the essential fatty acid content which dramatically
enhances the delivery and bioactivity of the phytochemicals.
Soy contains all three of the macro-nutrients required for good nutrition:
complete protein, carbohydrate and fat, as well as vitamins and minerals, including
calcium, folic acid and iron.
Soy is the only common plant based food that contains complete protein. Soy
protein provides all the essential amino acids in the amounts needed for human
and pet health. The amino acid profile of soy protein is nearly equivalent in
quality to meat, milk and egg protein.

Sprouting is the most natural form of food as it is possible to get. Every
process which takes food another step from its natural state diminishes its
natural capacity to provide a source of nourishment to the body. Nature designed
food as the body's richest resource from which to take the materials it needs
to do its job of generating and maintaining healthy bodies and cells. The sprout
is the maximum growth phase of the plant, with the highest concentration of
bio-available nutrients in the plant's life. With up to 48 percent protein,
a nearly complete array of amino acids, and especially stable oil content that
has naturally high lecithin and vitamin E, soy is a potent resource.
Many benefits are attributed to soy from antioxidant protection to cholesterol
reduction, modulation of estrogen and hormonal activity, detoxification of the
blood, cleansing the bowel, strengthening the immune system, and inhibiting
tumor promoting enzymes. More than 25 clinical studies have shown that substituting
soy protein for animal protein, or simply adding soy protein to the diet, significantly
reduces cholesterol levels. Researchers participating in a workshop sponsored
by the National Cancer Institute in 1990 identified five groups of phytochemicals
that have anticancer properties, and these isoflavones are present in soy, sometimes
exclusively. Studies further suggest that soy may be an important factor in
the healthfulness of traditional Asian diets. In a study published in Cancer
Research in 1989, men who ate the most tofu had the lowest rates of prostate
cancer. Other studies have linked soy consumption with reduced risk for colon,
lung, breast, rectal and stomach cancer. Additionally, certain sugars in soybeans
promote the growth of friendly bacteria – bifidobacteria in the colon.
Clear evidence has been linked with fewer PMS and menopausal problems for women
in cultures with a high soy diet..
Why Soy?
Soy foods, as part of an overall healthy diet, can help you achieve and maintain
a healthy body weight. In general, soy foods contain fewer calories, less total
fat and saturated fat, and more fiber than other sources of high-quality protein.
Low saturated fat, high-quality protein sources, such as soy, may play a key
role in weight control and maintenance of lean body mass. Achieving a healthy
weight can have numerous benefits:
* Improved blood glucose control and insulin sensitivity
* Decreased stress on bones
* Decreased blood pressure
* Increased stamina
* Improved self-image
