8th Continent contains ingredients that can help lower cholesterol* and reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke**.

Why do we design 8th Continent with your heart health in mind? Because heart disease may be the most important health issue facing women today. In fact, one in three women die from heart disease--making it the #1 killer of American women. It affects more women than all types of cancer combined.

Lowering cholesterol
According to the FDA, “25 grams of soy protein a day as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease.” Just one serving of 8th Continent gives your body 6.25 grams of soy protein each day. And when you have taste this rich and this wonderful, getting more soy is always a joy.

Lowering blood pressure
Potassium can help lower blood pressure by blunting the effects of sodium. Which means diets containing foods that are good sources of potassium and low in sodium, such as 8th Continent soymilk, may reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke.

Reducing the risk of stroke
If your blood pressure gets too high, your heart has to work harder to pump blood to and from your brain. This excess pressure can cause a break in an artery which may lead to a blood clot or stroke. Include 8th Continent soymilk in your plan to help manage blood pressure. It's a great drink or recipe ingredient!
