This antioxidant capability can help in reducing muscle soreness and fatigue following exercise, therefore speeding up muscle recovery and ultimately enhancing muscle performance. • Clinical research studies on the effects of soy protein on human performance: in the past 5 years more than a dozen clinical studies have been conducted in major US and European Universities and sport physiology research institutes on the favorable effects of DrSoy brands and soy protein in general on lean muscle mass production and performance. The results of the studies comparing soy to whey protein and casein (milk protein) indicate that soy protein supplementation shows a measurable and positive effect in strength and endurance in athletes who use them.
