SoyScienceTM
(formerly CSPHP) is a complex of soy protein
hydrolysate and soy phospholipids. SoyScienceTM
is made by fortifying soy’s widely known health fortyfying property
by binding enzymatic-modified lecithin to hydrolyzed isolated soy
protein in the ratio of 20:80 (wt/wt). The two components are bonded
in a natural occuring hydrophobic manner.
SoyScienceTM benefits your health by the suggested mechanisms;
- Test tube studies showed that SoyScienceTM lowers the micellar solubility of cholesterol. For the cholesterol to be absorbed, it is essential to be rendered soluble in the bile-acid micelles within the intestine. Thus, SoyScienceTM is assume to affect cholesterol absorption by suppressing the micellar formation, thereby leading to help maintain already normal cholesterol.
- SoyScienceTM effectively binds to bile acid due to its high bile acid- binding capacity. This could be seen by the fact that SoyScienceTM increases fecal bile acid excretion. Since bile acid is one of the essential components to form the micelle, then it might be able to speculate that reducing the volume of bile acid will lead to lower absorption of cholesterol. Noteworthy is the fact that bile acid is produced from liver cholesterol. Hence, a smaller bile acid pool might trigger liver cholesterol to be converted into bile acid. This eventually adjusts the available amount of liver cholesterol and leads to “normalized” serum cholesterol level.

Soy derived SoyScienceTM has no side effect, which positions it as a safe and reliable food ingredient. This can be recognized by the fact that both composites, i.e.; soy protein hydrolysate and enzymatic-modified phospholipids, are GRAS approved. Continuing further, SoyScienceTM has gained the GRAS status in January 2004. Additionally, in Japan, the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Labor has approved SoyScienceTM as FOSHU(Food for Specified Health Use) due to its proven cholesterol-reducing efficacy and safety.
