The NutriSoy ® Advantage
For developers, formulating a sports nutrition project
is like a juggling act. Texture, viscosity, shelf-life, cost,
flavor and nutritionals are the balls that get thrown up in
the air, and it is the developer’s job to get them all moving
in unison.
Fortunately, ADM’s soy processing expertise results in
a line of NutriSoy Proteins that give developers costeffective,
high quality proteins without sacrificing taste
and texture.
Why Choose NutriSoy Proteins for
Athletic Performance
NutriSoy Proteins are a high quality source of soy proteins.
Athletes of all levels require high quality proteins to
maintain peak physical levels. Studies have shown that high
quality protein intake increases lean body mass and has a
positive effect on performance (1, 2) .
Isolated Soy Proteins are high quality proteins as reflected
in their Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score
(PDCAAS) of 0.98, which is comparable to egg, milk (whey
and casein) proteins (3) . Studies show similar increases in lean
body mass for isolated soy protein and whey protein (4-6) .
Studies also show similar effects on muscle protein synthesis
for soy protein and casein (7,8) .
Unlike animal based protein sources, isolated soy protein
is rich in glutamine and arginine (9) . Both glutamine and
arginine show the ability to stimulate an increase in growth
hormone release (10-11) . In addition, arginine is known to
stimulate nitric oxide synthesis which would increase blood
flow to the muscles to help accommodate greater nutrient (12)
and oxygen delivery to exercising muscles. NutriSoy
Proteins are high quality proteins that can enhance the value
of your sports nutrition formulations.
Balanced Formulation for Optimal Results
Because of differences in digestion rates, amino acid
profiles and antioxidant activity, a balanced formulation
including a mix of NutriSoy Proteins, whey protein and
casein can offer the optimal synergies of taste, function
and results.

In state-of-the-art beverage and snack laboratories, we’re
working with machinery like homogenizers, ultra-hightemperature
pasteurization and twin screw extruders
—the equipment you use every day—to provide answers
that translate directly to your facilities needs. Advanced
pilot plants and a culinary facility ensure we can provide
support for every step of production, and we can even
help assess consumer response with premarket sensory
evaluation.
Reliable & Secure Supply
ADM is the only soy protein supplier who originates
soybeans directly from US farmers to be refined in our
own facilities into high quality soy protein. This closed
system ensures a reliable and secure supply of naturallysourced
soy protein direct from the American heartland.
Application Guide / Table
At ADM our focus is supplying performance nutrition
formulators with a full range of natural-source soy
proteins. Because every formulation is as unique, ADM
draws on resources – its people, products and market
perspective – to recommend tailored solutions to your
specific application and nutritional needs.
