Chocolate Soy 50 contains a special blend of whole-food source nutrients and no animal products. Recent studies have shown that soy protein can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, the number one cause of death in the United States. Soy's active ingredients play a role in lowering blood cholesterol levels. Soy protein also appears to be beneficial in preventing bone loss due to osteoporosis.

The FDA has recently announced that foods containing soy protein may now bear a health claim on their product label stating they can cut the risk of heart disease. In its announcement, the FDA said soy protein, as part of a low-fat and cholesterol diet, can lower blood total cholesterol and reduce levels of low-density lipoproteins, the so-called "bad cholesterol". Elevated cholesterol has been linked to heart disease. Soy protein differs from other vegetable proteins because it changes the way that the liver processes cholesterol, the FDA said.

The healthy heart benefit of soy comes from consuming at least 25 grams a day of soy protein, the agency said. To qualify for the label health claim, a serving would have to have at least 6.25 grams of soy protein, one-quarter of the daily amount that has been shown to lower cholesterol.
