Micronutrients & recovery
Long-term soy protein consumption significantly reduces proteinuria and improves urinary creatinine excretion in type 2 diabetic patients with nephropathy, independent of changes in plasma glucose.
For diabetic patients with kidney disease, incorporating soy protein into the diet can help reduce protein leakage in urine (proteinuria) and improve other kidney function markers over time.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
Significant improvements were also seen in proteinuria... and urinary creatinine... by consumption of soy protein.
Why this rating
