What is organic soy protein powder?
Organic Soy Protein Powder is extracted from certified non-GMO soybeans (Glycine max) using water-based processing. This high-purity powder delivers ≥90% protein with a complete amino acid profile (PDCAAS=1.0), ≥1.5% isoflavones (genistein, daidzein), and optimized digestibility. Ideal for sports nutrition, plant-based foods, and functional supplements.

FAQs
Q: What is the main difference between Organic Soy Protein Concentrate and Organic Soy Protein Isolate?
A: Organic Soy Protein Concentrate has a protein content of 60-70% and retains some of the carbohydrates (fiber) from the soybean. Organic Soy Protein Isolate is further processed to remove most of the non-protein components, resulting in a protein content of ≥90% and a more neutral flavor and superior functional properties. The choice depends on the desired protein level, functionality, and flavor neutrality in your final product.
Q: Is Organic Soy Protein Powder considered a “complete protein”?
A: Yes, Organic Soy Protein Powder (both isolate and concentrate) is considered a complete protein because it contains all nine essential amino acids in sufficient quantities required by the human body.
Q: Is your Organic Soy Protein Powder non-GMO?
A: Yes, all our Organic Soy Protein Powder products are sourced from certified organic soybeans, which by definition means they are Non-GMO. This ensures compliance with clean-label requirements.
Q: What is the typical shelf life and recommended storage for bulk quantities?
A: Our Organic Soy Protein Powder typically has a shelf life of 24 months from the manufacturing date when stored in a cool, dry place (below 75°F/24°C), away from direct sunlight and moisture, in its original sealed, airtight packaging.
Q: Does Organic Soy Protein Powder have a strong “beany” flavor?
A: Modern processing techniques, particularly for Organic Soy Protein Isolate, have significantly reduced the “beany” flavor often associated with older soy products. Our isolates offer a very neutral taste profile, making them highly versatile in various applications. Concentrates may have a slightly more noticeable soy flavor.
