Medical Foods 3: 33-44.
PURPOSE OF STUDY:
To study the effects of soy protein versus whey protein
on exercise-induced acute muscular damage and oxidative
stress in young male adults.
PRODUCTS USED:
SUPRO®SOY protein beverage powder (40 grams of protein/day)
vs. whey protein beverage powder (40 grams of protein/day).
SUBJECTS:
20 moderately active young male adults, 18-28 years
old. 10 subjects on the SUPRO®SOY protein beverage;
10 on the Whey protein beverage.
MAJOR FINDINGS:
40 grams of SUPRO®SOY protein compared with Whey
can:
- Raise plasma total antioxidant status value (10
per 10).
- Inhibit exercised-induced muscle injury.
Creatine kinase value reduced *
Myloperoxidase value reduced *
*(High values are indicative of muscle damage)
SIGNIFICANCE:
- SUPRO®SOY has sports performance and
recovery benefits around oxidative stress which is
associated with muscle inflammation.
- SUPRO®SOY has superior effects over Whey.
- SUPRO®SOY consumption, before exercise, impacted
indices of antioxidant status.
IMPLICATIONS:
SUPRO®SOY use in the daily diet may help to:
- Reduce muscle fatigue.
- Reduce muscle injury.
- Improve muscle recovery.
- Reduce muscle inflammation
