Soybean Sprouts大豆もやし · Daizu Moyashi · ถั่วงอกหัวโต

Soybean sprouts undergo biochemical changes during germination that increase the bio-availability of minerals and significantly elevate GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) levels, which supports neurotransmitter regulation and stress reduction. Its high Vitamin K content ($45\mu g$) is critical for the function of Matrix Gla Protein, preventing arterial calcification while supporting bone health. Clinical data suggests that the sprouting process reduces phytate levels, making the iron and zinc content more readily absorbable than in non-sprouted soybeans.

Overview
