Abstract
A method of altering the concentration of cholesterol constituents in human blood is provided. A daidzein material is administered to a human to increase the concentration of HDL-cholesterol and to decrease the level of LDL-cholesterol in the blood. The daidzein material may be administered in a pharmaceutical composition, or in a dietary supplement, including soy protein based dietary supplements. Utilization of daidzein to increase the concentration of HDL cholesterol and to decrease the concentration of LDL-cholesterol in the blood reduces the risk of atherosclerosis and vascular disease by providing more health beneficial HDL-cholesterol and reducing the level of atherosclerosis-inducing LDL-cholesterol.
