About the Product

The new REPACKAGED SOYAPLUS  - Big Size

Soyaplus is registered in Nigeria by NAFDAC with the number A1 – 70 52 L

Soyaplus is made from the soya bean , a species of legume native to East Asia, widely grown for its edible bean which has numerous uses.

Together, soybean oil and protein content account for about 60% of dry soybeans by weight (protein at 40% and oil at 20%). The remainder consists of 35% carbohydrate and about 5% ash

Most soy protein is a relatively heat-stable storage protein. This heat stability enables soy food products requiring high temperature cooking, such as tofu, soy milk and textured vegetable protein (soy flour) to be made.

The principal soluble carbohydrates of mature soybeans are the disaccharide sucrose, the trisaccharide raffinose, and the tetrasaccharide stachyose.

The oligosaccharides raffinose and stachyose are not digestible sugars, and are broken down in the intestine by native microbes, producing gases such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and methane.

There are beneficial effects to ingesting oligosaccharides such as raffinose and stachyose, namely, encouraging indigenous bifidobacteria in the colon against putrefactive bacteria.

The insoluble carbohydrates in soybeans consist of the complex polysaccharides cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin. The majority of soybean carbohydrates can be classed as belonging to dietary fiber.

Soybeans is a source of complete protein. A complete protein is one that contains significant amounts of all the essential amino acids that must be provided to the human body because of the body's inability to synthesize them.

For this reason, soy is a good source of protein, amongst many others, for vegetarians and vegans or for people who want to reduce the amount of meat they eat. According to the US Food and Drug Administration

The soya beans contain significant amounts of phytic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, and isoflavones.

CONCERNING SOYAPLUS

It is a known fact that most of the foods and drinks we consume in Nigeria are carbohydrates, sugar and fat based.  Examples of such foods and drinks include rice, ogi or pap, porridge, noodles , bread, biscuits, cookies, chocolates, cake, ice creams, yam, dodo, eba, amala, pounded yam, tuwo, coke, fanta, juices, beer, malt, the list is endless. The common source of protein – beans - is seldom eaten in most Nigerian homes while milk, eggs and meat are relatively expensive.  

Our foods and drinks in Nigeria are grossly lacking in protein. Our children are worse hit.

This has contributed to the high rate of diabetes, low immunity,  low educational performance in children, hypertension, malnutrition, low sperm count in men, and obesity recorded in Nigeria. 

Carbohydrate and sugar have also been implicated in low memory or forgetfulness in children which has affected our educational standard in Nigeria.

• SOYAPLUS is a fermented and detoxified product of soya beans which has been made fit for human consumption

• SOYAPLUS is a complete protein (because it contains the NINE ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS which the body cannot synthesize on its own)

•  Soyaplus is not only a complete protein, but it is also a great source of OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS, and a wealth of other CRITICAL MICRO NUTRIENTS including vitamin E, magnesium, fibre, potassium, calcium, and iron

• SOYAPLUS is good for the young, the old and the aged. It is very good for VEGETARIANS, DIABETICS, HYPERTENSIVES, SICKLERS, PERSONS LIVING WITH HIV/AIDS, ORPHANS AND VULNERABLE CHILDREN, MALNOURISHED PERSONS, THOSE WHO WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT, THOSE WHO WANT TO BRING DOWN THEIR CHOLESTEROL LEVELS, MENOPAUSAL WOMEN, PREGNANT WOMEN, SICK PERSONS, e.t.c.

• SOYAPLUS does not contain preservatives, additives, colourings, or flavours

• SOYAPLUS IS NATURAL

• The Product is approved and registered by NAFDAC with the registration number A1 - 7052L

HEALTH BENEFITS

1.                  CANCER

a.       reduction in prostate cancer risk in men

b.      decreased risk of death and recurrence of breast cancer among women

c.       reduced risk of colorectal cancer in post menopausal women

2.                  BRAIN

a.       improvement in cognitive function particularly verbal memory

b.      improved frontal lobe function

3.                  OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS

Omega 3 fatty acids are long chain fatty acids which have the beneficial effect of inhibition of blood clotting. They include alpha-linoleic acid (alNA), eicosapentaenoic acid (ENA) and docossahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Soyaplus has a better Omega 3 – Omega 6 fatty acid ratio than any other leguminous plant

4.                  ISOFLAVONES

Genistein and daidzein are types of phytoestrogen which are considered by dieticians and physicians to be useful in the prevention of cancer.

5.                  FIBRE

Fibre or "roughage" as it is also known, is essentially a carbohydrate and is found solely in plants. It is found in the walls of the plant's cells and is the only part of the plant that cannot be digested by the human body.

The main function of fibre is to keep the digestive system healthy and functioning properly. Fibre aids and speeds up the excretion of waste and toxins from the body, preventing them from sitting in the intestine or bowel for too long, which could cause a build-up and lead to several diseases. SOYAPLUS IS RICH IN FIBRE

6.                  PHYTOCHEMICALS

The term “phytochemicals” refers to a wide variety of compounds made by plants, which affect human health. They have either antioxidant or hormone-like actions. They are promoted for the prevention and treatment of many health conditions, including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. SOYAPLUS IS RICH IN PHYTOCHEMICALS

7.                  CHOLESTEROL AND HEART DIESEASES

a.       Soyaplus is a cholesterol lowering food with other heart and health benefits

b.      Soyaplus brings about a decrease in LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides

c.       Decrease in cholesterol leads to a corresponding decrease in raised blood sugar

d.      Soyaplus is beneficial to cardiovascular and overall health because of tts high content of polyunsaturated fats, fibre, vitamins and minerals and low content of saturated fat

e.       Soyaplus decreases post prandial triglycerides which is increasingly viewed as important for reducing CHD risk

8.                  PHYTIC ACID

Acts as an anti-oxidant and a chelating agent thus reducing cancer incidence, minimizing diabetes and reducing inflammation

HOW TO SERVE SOYAPLUS

1 tablespoonful into a cup of warm water with a teaspoon of original honey (and milk if desired)

Mix a tea spoonful with the children’s food like ogi, oats, noodles, spaghetti, rice, e.t.c.

It can also be added to carbohydrate flour like elubo, wheat, garri, semovita, amala, fufu
