Soy Fibre Multi: A Practical Guide to Daily Gut Support

Looking for a convenient, chocolate-flavoured protein powder that also delivers a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals? Soy Fibre Multi from Vitadefence combines soy protein isolate with chicory root fibre and a comprehensive vitamin and mineral blend, making it a practical choice for those seeking to support their daily nutrient intake alongside their protein goals. This article breaks down the ingredients, the science behind the formula, and how it fits into a balanced diet.

What is Soy Fibre Multi?

Soy Fibre Multi is a plant-based protein powder that goes beyond simple protein supplementation. It's a 300g powder designed to be mixed into shakes or added to foods like yoghurt. The formula combines soy protein isolate with chicory root fibre (a source of inulin) and a blend of 14 vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, B vitamins, magnesium, zinc, and iron. The chocolate flavour comes from cocoa powder, and it's sweetened with stevia leaf extract, making it suitable for those avoiding added sugars.

As a product made in the UK in a GMP-certified facility, Soy Fibre Multi is designed for transparency and quality. It's suitable for vegetarians and vegans, and is Halal approved.

Soy Fibre Multi ingredients

Each 25g serving (1 scoop or 3 heaped teaspoons) provides the following, based on the ingredient panel:

Protein: Soy protein isolate (from Glycine maxima)
Fibre: Chicory root (Cichorium intybus) extract
Flavouring: Cocoa powder, natural flavouring
Vitamin and mineral blend: Magnesium citrate, sodium chloride, vitamin C (ascorbic acid), ferrous citrate, zinc citrate, vitamin E (DL-alpha-tocopheryl acetate), niacin (vitamin B3), vitamin A (acetate), copper citrate, vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin), riboflavin (vitamin B2), folic acid (folacin), potassium iodide
Sweetener: Stevia leaf extract (steviol glycosides)

Per 100g, the product provides notable levels of key nutrients, including 827 µg vitamin A, 82.7 mg vitamin C, 367 mg magnesium, 16.4 mg iron, and 10.7 mg zinc. Full reference intakes (%RI) are detailed on the product label.

How the formula was designed

The design of Soy Fibre Multi reflects a practical approach to supplementation. Soy protein isolate is a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids, making it a valuable option for muscle repair and maintenance. The addition of chicory root fibre provides a prebiotic source (inulin), which can support digestive health by feeding beneficial gut bacteria. The vitamin and mineral blend is included to help fill common nutritional gaps, particularly for individuals following plant-based diets who may be at risk of lower intakes of iron, zinc, and B12. The use of stevia as a sweetener avoids added sugars, aligning with current dietary guidelines that recommend limiting free sugars.

The science — what's well-supported

While Soy Fibre Multi is a food supplement and not a medicine, several of its ingredients have authorised health claims under EU Regulation 1924/2006. These claims are based on established science and are approved for use on food supplements.

Vitamin C contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal functioning of the immune system, and reduces tiredness and fatigue. (EU Register of Health Claims)
Vitamin B6, B12, riboflavin, niacin, and folic acid all contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism. (EU Register of Health Claims)
Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and normal protein synthesis. (EU Register of Health Claims)
Iron contributes to normal oxygen transport in the body and normal cognitive function. (EU Register of Health Claims)
Zinc contributes to normal immune system function and normal DNA synthesis. (EU Register of Health Claims)
Copper contributes to normal iron transport in the body. (EU Register of Health Claims)
Iodine contributes to normal cognitive function and normal thyroid function. (EU Register of Health Claims)

Regarding protein, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has established that protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass, and to the maintenance of normal bones. (EFSA Journal 2012;10(2):2557). Soy protein isolate is considered a high-quality protein source.

The chicory root fibre (inulin) is a prebiotic fibre. EFSA has authorised a health claim for inulin-type fructans: "consumption of inulin-type fructans contributes to a normal bowel function by increasing stool frequency." This claim can be used for products providing at least 5g of inulin per serving. However, the exact amount of inulin in Soy Fibre Multi is not specified on the label, so this claim is not made directly on the product. The fibre content is included as part of the product's nutritional profile.

How to take it

For best results, mix 1 scoop or 3 heaped teaspoons (25g) into a glass with water, fruit juice, soya milk, or another liquid of your choice. Shake or stir until smooth. You can also add the powder to yoghurt, mix with berries, or use it in smoothies for a protein and nutrient boost. The product is designed to be versatile and can be used as a post-workout shake, a meal replacement component, or a convenient snack.
