Abstract
Six of the major soy-based infant formulas marketed in the United Stat es were assayed for their isoflavone levels. Samples were taken from t he east coast, midwestern, and west coast regions of the United States . Isoflavone levels were variable across brands probably due to differ ent amounts of soy isolate used in product formulation. Total isoflavo nes ranged from 214 to 285 mu g/g of dry formula or approximate to 25- 30 mu g/mL of reconstituted formula.
