By Jana Serrano


When you choose any of the soy products, you are just at the same level with the those who eat a large variety of fruits and vegetables all in the same day. This is due to the fact that the nutritional content in these products are so many, and can be a good substitute for those who don't eat meat or any meat product. Those who are in need of building lean muscles quickly and those in weight loss programs also find the soybeans as the best solution. The soy vitamins, protein and minerals are among those that are needed in large quantities by the body.

The vitamin B12 is among the most talked about vitamins found in the soy products. It is among the B-complex vitamins and plays a central role in cell division, the DNA synthesis, and in the proper nervous system functioning.

This means that the some types of anemia that results from the failure of a proper division and formation of the blood cells are as a result of deficiency in vitamin B12. The same can be said of neurological damage and other conditions.

For those who do not eat meat or any other animal products, whether a vegetarian or vegan, the best source of vitamin B12 you can get is from the soy products. Just a single serving provide as much as half of the daily requirement of vitamin B12.

In case the raw carrot has been recommended for you as the remedy for the proper eye functioning, then you must know just how important vitamin A is to the eyesight. In addition to this, the vitamin A plays major roles in proper immune system and proper reproductive system as well as many other body processes.

Vitamin B2 also known as Riboflavin is the other important vitamin you are guaranteed from the soybean products. This is a vitamin that has a big role to play on how the protein is used in the body. In addition to this, it determines the growth of body tissues like the eyes, skin and other tissues and the repair of the same tissues. Although it is available from a wide variety of diet including the fortified breakfast cereals, spinach, avocado, broccoli, yeast extract, meat, and almonds, soybeans remain the best source of this vitamin.

Other than the said vitamins, there are several other micro-nutrients and macro-nutrients that are available from these products. Phosphorous, for instance, is necessary to convert energy from proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, and is also required to enable the use of the B-complex vitamins. Potassium on the other hands is needed to regulate acidity balance in the body, muscle contraction and in chemical reactions in the body.

In addition to the three vitamins, there are several other vitamins that are found in lesser quantities. However, the mineral like phosphorous that are necessary to help in using the B-complex, bone formation and conversion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats into energy also available in plenty in the soybean products. The same goes for potassium that plays a role in the regulation of body acidity.
