Soybean protein improves the diversity of gut microorganisms more than milk protein

Compared with the protein of cow's milk source, the protein of soybean source can improve the diversity of gut microorganisms. A new study by DuPont Nutrition and Health found that the low-fat properties of soy protein are associated with changes in the structure of the gut microbiome.study selected

feed. The study found that after dietary soy protein supplementation, gut microorganisms showed greater diversity than cow's milk protein supplementation, while gut microorganisms were associated with blood lipid levels.Dr. Elaine Krul
, lead researcher at DuPont Nutrition and Health, who led the experiment, said: "
"
numerous clinical studies and preclinical trials have proven that soy protein has the ability to protect heart health. These findings lead us to focus on adding soy protein to our daily diet to promote cardiovascular metabolism by optimizing the composition of gut microbes.

) complete soybean protein isolate.the results showed that hamsters fed soy protein had higher intestinal microbioticity than hamsters fed cow's milk. There was no significant difference between the collections of soy protein feeding, and several key microorganisms had a greater number than hamsters in the cow's milk feeding group., total cholesterol, triglycerides, and lipoprotein particles in the blood of hamsters fed soy protein, as well as lipoprotein particles that cause arteriosclerosis, were significantly lower."
have confirmed that the improvement of intestinal microbiobiobiality is a key marker of cardiovascular metabolic health. People with lower intestinal bacteria are more likely to develop abnormal blood lipids, obesity, weight gain, insulin resistance, and inflammation.
," Dr. krul
said."
increase in lean meat, as well as plant protein intake, such as soy protein, is an excellent choice for those looking for health-promoting food products, including seeking weight management and promoting cardiovascular metabolic health.
