Soy (Glycine max) comes from soybeans. It is a legume plant native to East Asia that is commonly cultivated for its edible bean, which has a wide range of applications. Soy protein, soy milk, and soy fibre can all be made from them.

Soy includes isoflavones, which are converted to phytoestrogens in the body. The molecular structure of phytoestrogen molecules is similar to that of oestrogen. In some situations, these phytoestrogens might mimic the actions of oestrogen. In some situations, phytoestrogens can counteract oestrogens’ effects.

High cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, menopause symptoms, and premenstrual syndrome (PMS) can be treated with the help of soy. It’s also utilized for a variety of other ailments.
