Sojaprotein

Sojabohnen (Glycine max) gehören zu den Hülsenfrüchten und sind ursprünglich in Ostasien sowie in Afrika und Australien beheimatet. Schon vor rund 3000 Jahren kultivierten die Chinesen die Sojapflanze, erst im 19. Jahrhundert wurde sie auch in Amerika und Europa eingeführt. Heute wird Soja weltweit angebaut, auf die USA entfallen dabei mehr als die Hälfte der weltweiten Produktion. Sojapflanzen dienen vorwiegend als Tierfutter, ihre Samen, die Sojabohnen, sind auf vielfältige Weise für die menschliche Ernährung nutzbar. Soja wird in Asien seit langem nicht nur als Nährpflanze angesehen, auch die gesundheitlichen Wirkungen von Soja sind seit Jahrtausenden bekannt. In China wurde Soja traditionell u.a. bei Erkältungen, Hautkrankheiten, Diarrhoe, Verstopfung, Anämien und Beingeschwüren angewendet.

Soja – reich an Nährstoffen und Phytaminen
Sojabohnen haben einen hohen Gehalt an Ölen und Proteinen. Letztere enthalten sehr viele hochwertige essentielle Aminosäuren, darunter Glutamin, Arginin, Lysin, Leucin und Isoleucin. Sojaproteine sind in ihrer Qualität mit tierischen Eiweißen vergleichbar, sie werden daher zur Herstellung von "Kunstfleisch" genutzt. Sojaöle werden für die Produktion von Margarinen verwendet. Andere Bestandteile der Sojabohnen werden u.a. für die Herstellung von Mehlen, Milch, Joghurt und Quark verwendet. Junge Sojabohnen-Keimlinge können außerdem als Sprossen-Gemüse gegessen werden. Sojabohnen enthalten neben Fetten (u.a. 55% essentielle Linolsäure), Proteinen und Kohlenhydraten eine Reihe anderer Nährstoffe. Dazu gehören Lecithin, einige Vitamine (B2 und E) und Mineralstoffe (Kobalt), Saponine, Isoflavonoide, Cholin und Betain.

Soja – die gesundheitlichen Wirkungen
Menschen aus asiatischen Ländern nehmen mit ihrer traditionellen Ernährung etwa 15 bis 40 mg Soja pro Tag zu sich. Bei uns werden Sojaprodukte eher selten eingesetzt, wir nehmen daher meist weniger als 2 mg täglich zu uns. Soja kann den Schutz von Herz-Kreislauf- und Krebskrankheiten fördern. Es trägt dazu bei, das Gesamt-Cholesterin und LDL-Cholesterin sowie die Triglyzeride zu senken. Vor allem bei erhöhten Cholesterinwerten kann ein Austausch tierischer Proteine gegen Sojaproteine einen cholesterinsenkenden Effekt haben. Vermutlich kann Soja auch dazu beitragen, den Blutdruck zu senken und die Peroxidation von Lipoproteinen zu verringern. In den USA ist es daher inzwischen erlaubt, dass sojaprotein-haltige Lebensmittel den Zusatz tragen dürfen, dass der Verzehr zur Vorbeugung von Herzkrankheiten beiträgt. Mit seinen antikarzinogenen Wirkungen kann Soja speziell dem Brust-, Prostata- und Uteruskrebs vorbeugen. Aus asiatischen Ländern ist bekannt, dass hormonabhängige Krebskrankheiten (Brust- und Prostatakrebs) weitaus seltener auftreten. Dies ist eventuell dem reichlichen Verzehr von Sojaprodukten zu verdanken. Soja kann außerdem die Knochendichte erhöhen und auf diese Weise zum Schutz vor Osteoporose beitragen. Bei Frauen in der Menopause können eventuell einige der typischen Symptome gelindert werden. Sojaproteine können Hämatokrit (Anteil der roten Blutkörperchen) senken und die Blutdicke verringern. Sie können das Abnehmen bei Reduktionsdiäten erleichtern und das Muskelwachstum fördern.

Isoflavonoide - die wichtigsten Phytamine in Soja
Isoflavonoide gehören zur Gruppe der Bioflavonoide und sind auch in anderen Pflanzen enthalten, Soja ist jedoch die reichhaltigste Quelle für diese Phytamine. Isoflavonoide haben antioxidative und antikarzinogene Wirkungen, die jeweils auf unterschiedliche Krebsarten auf ähnliche Weise einwirken. Allen gemeinsam ist eine den Östrogenen ähnliche Struktur, jedoch mit deutlich schwächerer Wirkung. Isoflavonoide werden daher oft als Phytoöstrogene bezeichnet. Isoflavonoide sind in der Sojabohne unterschiedlich verteilt, die höchsten Mengen sitzen in den Samenschalen. Einige Sojaprodukte, z.B. Sojasaucen und Sojaöle, enthalten diese Phytamine nicht.

Genistein ist das wichtigste Isoflavonoid in Soja und ist wasserlöslich. Von allen Isoflavonoiden ist Genistein bisher am besten erforscht. Es kann östrogene Wirkungen haben, aber auch unerwünschten östrogenen Wirkungen im Körper vorbeugen und so beispielsweise zum Schutz vor Brustkrebs beitragen. Genistein kann Prozesse innerhalb der Krebsbildung (Angiogenese) hemmen und krebsfördernde Enzyme blockieren. Dieses Isoflavonoid hat außerdem antioxidative Wirkungen und regt im Immunsystem die natürlichen Killer-Lymphozyten an. Genistein kann das Gesamt-Cholesterin und LDL senken sowie das "gute" HDL erhöhen. Genistein trägt zur Knochenbildung bei, wobei Zink die Effektivität fördert. Genistein kann außerdem die unerwünschten Begleitsymptome der Menopause senken. Daidzein ist ebenfalls ein Isoflavonoid und Phytoöstrogen und hat auf etwas geringere Weise ähnliche Wirkungen wie Genistein. In Soja sind weitere Isoflavonoide enthalten, dazu gehören Glycetin, Daidzin und Genistin.

Soja – in der Regel sicher in der Aufnahme
Sojabohnen können schwer verdaulich sein und Blähungen auslösen. Die Unverdaulichkeit kann durch Einweichen der Bohnen über Nacht und durch ausreichendes Kochen vermieden werden. Einweich- und Kochwasser sollten weggeschüttet und nicht für die Zubereitung der Speisen verwendet werden. Von Sojabohnen-Extrakten und Sojaproteinen sind keine negativen Wirkungen bekannt. Die Anwendung von Isoflavonoiden in hoher Dosierung über einen langen Zeitraum ist bisher wenig erforscht. Krebskranke sollten vor einer Strahlentherapie mindestens eine Woche vorher keine Sojaprodukte zu sich nehmen. Das enthaltene Genistein kann die Krebszellen vor den zytotoxischen Effekten der Therapie schützen.

Soja – zur Nahrungsergänzung
Sojabohnen-Extrakte sind als Kapseln erhältlich, die oft auf den Gehalt der Isoflavonoide Genistein und Daidzein standardisiert sind. Weiter werden Sojaprotein-Konzentrate, teilweise als Sojaprotein-Isolate bezeichnet, als lose Pulver angeboten. Sie enthalten meist 90% Sojaproteine sowie 10% andere Sojabestandteile, darunter auch Isoflavonoide. Je nach gewünschter Wirkung können zur Nahrungsergänzung Soja-Extrakte oder Soja-Proteine angewendet werden. Auch die Dosierung sollte danach bestimmt werden.

Bedarf im Sport
Sojaprotein besitzt einige Charakteristika, die andere Proteine nicht bieten:

Der Glutaminanteil liegt bei 19%, fast so hoch wie beim Casein und deutlich höher als der von Molke (Whey).
Sojaprotein kann, im Gegensatz zu anderen Proteinen, dazu beitragen, den Schieldrüsenhormonspiegel anzuheben, was für Bodybuilder in der Diät hilfreich ist. Dabei kommt es häufig auch zu einer Verbesserung der Blutfettwerte.
Eines der Isoflavone in Soja, das sog. Daidzein, hat bei männlichen Versuchstieren zu einer Anhebung des Testosteron- und Wachstumshormonspiegels geführt. Es kam außerdem zu einem geringeren Muskelmasseverlust während einer Diät gegenüber Casein.

Many men want to have a toned upper body and a six-pack and more and more women acquire a liking for a lean and muscular physique. Yet despite the fact that resistance training alone produces astonishing results within a short period of time, the fat tissue on the abs, legs, hips and the butt tends to be particularly stubborn. No matter how hard you train, the fat simply won’t vanish. In this case, a fat burner can help. Fat burners are designed to promote your metabolism. The majority of the products will increase your body temperature and help transport the fat from the adipose tissue into your muscles, where it can be burned as fuel while you train. The combination of various ingredients in the fat burner caps ensures that your newly acquired muscles will get toned and the unwanted fat stores will vanish. The selection of different fat burners on the market is huge, just as the qualitative differences between the products. To find the right product for you, it is advisable to take a closer look at the ingredients. While all products claim to have more or less the same effect, i.e. increasing energy expenditure and burning fat, their ingredient profiles vary. As with all nutritional supplements, it is thus of paramount importance to pay attention to the quality of the product to avoid unwanted side effects and ward off serious damage to your health. We at Gigas Nutrition sell only tested originals and no rip-offs! Go visit our online shop and see for yourself: Quality does not have to be expensive!

While nutrition usually comprises everything related to food, it can also refer to the use of nutritional supplements in strength and endurance sports, in particular. An increase in the amount of vitamins, minerals, protein, and – over the last years – creatine by the regular consumption of respective products is a completely natural way to augment muscle growth. The ingestion of these supplements facilitates a faster and more efficient oxygen supply to the trained muscles. Your strength and energy during training will improve and your workouts will become more effective. In this context, vitamins, amino acids, proteins and creatine all have their specific properties, which make them more or less valuable for athletes depending on which sports they play. With appropriate supplementation, a strength athlete, for example, can specifically increase muscle growth and prevent nutrient deficiencies, which could occurs subsequent to longer periods of intense training. When you buy supplements, it is however strongly advisable not to buy the next best caps, pills and powders you can find. Quality is what really counts, which is why you should buy only from reputable producers. Gigas Nutition offers only products from renowned manufacturers such as Olimp Sport Nutrition, BSN, Scitec Nutrition, Optimum Nutrition, Dymatize, Muscle Tech, Ironmaxx and many more. The current Top 5 Selling Brands are always listed right on our homepage. Maybe your favorite brand is one of them. Stop by and take your time to browse the huge range of premium dietary supplements the Gigas Nutrition Megastore, Your Online Shop for Sports Nutrition, has to offer.

You should not miss out on a protein shake, right after your workout! It contains, as the name implies, valuable protein, a nutrient your body needs to build muscle in the course of and following your workouts. To replenish your protein reserves after a hard training session, a protein shake should thus be your first choice. As a rule of thumb, you can assume that you will need an additional 1g (max. 1.5g) of protein powder per 1kg of body weight per day. This will secure an optimal protein supply and increase the effectiveness of your workouts. The individual amino acids, i.e. BCAA’s, arginine and glutamine in protein shakes have been shown to improve performance, accelerate regeneration and improve muscular hypertrophy, significantly. Moreover, the slower digestible proteins like egg protein and above all casein, which are gradually released into the bloodstream, will supply your muscles with muscle building amino acids for hours. We carry a broad range of protein powders that will help you build muscle and improve your performance in the gym, at very reasonable prices. Visit our online store and check out which protein shake suits you best. Depending on its texture and ingredients, the protein powder can be blended with skim milk or water. By using a special shaker bottle, such as the Shaker Pro 40, or an electrical blender you can make sure that the powder blends into a creamy milkshake-esque beverage. You can find both, shaker bottles and electrical blenders listed under “Accessories” in the main menu of our online store.
