Question 1

How many grams or milli grams of phytoestrogens is present in each serving

Accepted Answer

Phytoestrogens are estrogen blockers (not creators) and have isoflavones (antioxidants). They are particularly abundant in soy beans, grapes, whole grains, nuts, etc., yet are in plants in general. While there is no specific amount listed, there are plenty of antioxidants (lessening cancer risk because of stabilization of free radicals, less oxidation of cholesterol on artery walls, anti-inflammatory meaning less stress on your body, etc.) and estrogen-blockers (important for protecting against cancers such as breast cancer, and will not increase estrogen levels), in soy beans. This study states that it is hard to determine as it varies often, but you may, for instance, have a higher ratio of genistein isoflavone (which is used to help treat prostate and breast cancers). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/12822960/ Hopefully this is useful!

Question 2

Is the soy isolate extracted with hexane? in addition was the non-gmo soybean sprayed with the roundup pesticide?  hexane and roundup are carcinogeni.

Accepted Answer

This soy protein is extracted with hexane, but hexane is actively recovered when used and would typically be at infinitesimal levels, if detectable at all. Non-GMO soybeans typically do not tolerate glyphosate, which is why glyphosate resistant varieties were genetically engineered. We do screen for pesticides, including glyphosate, in our plant materials…especially those that more likely would be exposed to it.

Question 3

Is the packaging recyclable?

Accepted Answer

Plastic is recyclable, yes.

Question 4

Is this gluten free

Accepted Answer

This is made from soy beans which don't contain gluten and processed in gluten-free facility.
