Michael Shelby, director of the National Toxicology Program’s Center for the Evaluation of Risks to Human Reproduction (CERHR) states that the amount of actual soy Isoflavones in soy is too low to provide any real benefits. However, fermented products such as soy sauce, miso, and tempeh are an exception to this as they contain up to 40% of free soy Isoflavones. Furthermore, the best way to be taking soy Isoflavones is from soy produce rather than in their isolated form as studies show that the complete protein of soy was needed to produce any health benefits. Studies on soy isoflavone supplements show that these products do not cause any adverse health outcomes and depending on their quality can improve overall human health.
