could it b coz soy protein give more estrogenic...is too muuh estrogen 4 nbe...????

Hello Im the one who posted all those messages on the WU board.

I should not have put that it has to be whey. That is just my current theory on what works best for me.

Ive read alot that soy is not useful and might actually hinder results. But then Ive read alot that says it may HELP NBE !

Im leaning more towards that it doesnt help for now and im trying just using whey. Whey seems to be a much better type and quality of protein to gain weight.

please try the soy if u like it may work best for u ! You dont know till you try both right ? GOOD LUCK !

Sorry really silly question but here goes!!
Iv heard about whey and soy protein a bit but dont know where to get them!!
Is it a capsule or is it added to things such as protien drinks?
Sorry again for the daft questions but you dont know if you dont ask!!

Whey protein is the more complete protein of the two. In answer to Annie's question, I think we're talking here about protein powders here (if they were in capsule form you'd sure need to take a lot of capsules).

Neither are really "better for NBE" Most of the ladies here are taking protein shakes to help replace some of the nutrients and vitamins they are lacking in their daily diet.

Some people choose soy because it has been associated with breast health. The people that choose Whey over Soy usually do so because most Soy shakes taste like crap, haha, that's why I choose whey!

Either way it's mainly about getting the protein in the diet and eating right more so than the actual "Whey" or "soy"

I know that this post is a bit old ... I just switched from a whey protein drink to a soy one, because finding soy isoflavone (spelling?),is nearly impossible over here, only in some menopause capsule mixed with some other herbs. I've been reading that taking too much soy can be harmful to your health and digestion, so I might switch to one drink a day - or one soy and one whey. Does anyone have a preference for which type of protein they prefer or find more helpful? I've really liked the whey one of been taking and I think it's been helping with gaining a bit of wieght too.

I'm not sure if soy protein supplements have any soy isoflavones in them. Maybe you could check that.

i dont know where you live, but from holland and barrett in the uk i have a soy protein powder drink which is a massive source of soy isoflavones. I dont even know what that is, but its meant to be good tastes a bit rank tho :-S

Thanks, the drink has no indication if it has isoflavones in it - it just says 'isolated soy protein', and it has heaps of amino acids in it. I'm from New Zealand - it's weird the types of stuff we get here, it seems like if it's a rare product then you can find it here. The things which I absolutely can't find are - soy isoflaones in capsules, hops, and oats in capsules. The only hops I can find are used to making home made beer!! It's weird. But I know that the soy that I drink has isoflaones in it so that will have to do for now. Thanks for all you help!!
