Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 3

Soy yogurt is used to support the small intestine primarily based on scientific evidence related to its probiotic content and potential effects on gut health. Like dairy-based yogurts, soy yogurt is often fortified with live bacterial cultures such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, which are known to positively influence the gut microbiota. Studies indicate that consuming probiotics can help maintain a healthy balance of intestinal bacteria, which is crucial for small intestine function, nutrient absorption, and immune modulation.

There is evidence that plant-based yogurts like soy yogurt can survive gastrointestinal transit and exert beneficial effects similar to traditional yogurts, although the extent of these effects may depend on the specific strains used and the yogurt's formulation. Additionally, soy yogurt is free from lactose and dairy proteins, making it suitable for individuals with lactose intolerance or milk protein allergies, which can otherwise disturb small intestine function.

However, the evidence is not as robust as it is for dairy yogurt, largely due to fewer studies specifically focusing on soy yogurt. Most benefits attributed to soy yogurt are extrapolated from research on dairy yogurt and probiotics in general. Thus, while soy yogurt may support small intestine health through modulation of gut microbiota and improved digestive function, the direct evidence is moderate but promising.
