Is soy protein estrogenic?

[mcr]

Just asking because one of the blends of protein I've been using before bed is USN Pure Protein. It contains some soy protein (it's a mix of whey, milk, soy and a few other sources).

Is soy in this small amount going to be estrogenic, or do you have to take in huge quantities of it for that to happen?

Your fast reply helps though, thanks

Those guys (along with most protein suppliers) will tell you soy is evil so that they can sell their whey protein

But show me a study, on men - not mice - about estrogenic properties of soy and I may change my mind

Soy isolate is what you should be using. And no it's not estrogenic, it can hovewer occupy the estrogen receptor much like tamoxifen (nolvadex)

Thanks bro. Apparently the product I'm using contains: whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate, calcium caseinate, egg albumen and soy protein isolate.

So I guess it's the right kind of soy.

Thanks.

Why "hovewer" ?

It's good for males, no ?

What do you mean "hovewer"? it's just a term used in sentence structure. Kind of like "but", "yet".

Yes it's good for males, it possibly occupying the receptor is a good thing providing your receptor does not actually react like to estrogen. again it's estrogeinc action is like that of Nolvadex. A good thing.
