Product & Plan FAQs

Medifast uses Supro® brand soy protein, a high-quality complete protein derived from soybeans. Supro® is produced by The Solae Company. The Solae Company has been conducting soy protein research for more than 30 years.

Not only is soy protein a source of high-quality protein, it is thought to play both a preventative and therapeutic role in the following:

• Studies show naturally occurring isoflavones (such as those in Supro® brand soy protein) have increased the mineral content and density of bones, which may protect against the risk of bone fractures and osteoporosis.
• Studies have indicated that a regular intake of soy foods may help to prevent hormone-related cancers such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, and colon cancer.
• Soy works to lower LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) levels in the blood. Reductions in LDL cholesterol have been shown to help decrease the risk for heart disease.
• Soy may reduce triglyceride levels and increases HDL cholesterol levels (good cholesterol), which further reduces the risk of heart disease.
• Soy isoflavones, which are a natural phytoestrogen source, may help reduce menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes or night sweats.
• Soy is a complete protein, providing all of the essential amino acids.
