Why The Soy Vitamins Are A Must In Our Diet

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 ranks as one of the essential vitamins. It is required for the purpose of cell division as well as to promote a healthy nervous system. In fact, it is a member of the vitamin B-complex group. It is most commonly found in most animal products like milk, eggs, cheese, meat and their products.

Naturally, this vitamin does not occur in most plant products and the only natural plant source is the soybeans. This is why it is a must for those who are entirely vegetarians. Otherwise, it is found in eggs, milk, meat, cheese and the related products.

Just a single serving of soymilk or other soy products can produce up to half of the vitamin B12 that is recommended per day. This is why the nutritionists recommend it for all people, and particularly those who have limited diets of animal products like the vegans and the vegetarians.

Everyone knows that for proper eyes, you need lots of vitamin A. The vitamin A is also required for proper immune system functioning. The soybean is known to be the best source of organic vitamin A. This is a fat soluble vitamin and has several other functions in the body including maintaining the normal reproduction. It normally comes from fruit based products and vegetables. The common sources include carrot, sweet potato, red capsicum, pumpkin, mango, apricots, rockmelon, and peach. The organic sources include milk, offal meats, and butter.

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.

The other important vitamin is Riboflavin or the vitamin B2. The growth of body tissues depends on the presence of riboflavin. It plays a role in the conversion of proteins into usable nutrients in our body. As such, it helps in repair of worn out tissues, and growth of the new tissues like the skin and the eyes. Other than other sources like spinach, avocado, broccoli, meat, yeast extract, and almonds, the soybeans provide vitamin B2 in plenty.

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.
