History
Haelan 951 is a third generation product. The first generation product was developed by a nutritionist working in hospitals in China. Her idea was to provide proper
nutrition but at the same time, give patients foods that benefited them the most.
The basic concepts were twofold. Firstly, all foods have calories but some foods
are better for you than others. All foods are not equal in nutritional values. Secondly,
proper nutrition was more than simply consuming copious quantities of fats, carbohydrates,
proteins, vitamins, and minerals as most people rationalize. A good diet must include
a harmonious blend of enzymes, amino acids, vegetable proteins, nutrients and micronutrients
that are found lacking in many diets either because of poor food choices, poor soil
conditions, or food preparation that destroys the valuable nutrients and micronutrients
in the unprocessed food.
Working with hospital patients, without any particular problem in mind, research
was performed using trial and error techniques involving the substitution of various
food items. It was learned that people obtained a better nutritional profile in
all cases, more so, when they ate soybean products than any other food item. Continued
research proved that the most nutritious food item was soybeans and the most beneficial
dietary components in the soybeans were the isoflavones, protease inhibitors, saponins,
phytosterols and inositol hexaphosphate compounds (
soybeans and cancer ). The first generation
soybean protein beverage came out of this initial work.
Years of work followed to improve the basic product in four areas: (1) Selection
of the Soybeans; (2) Selection of the Geographical Growth Area; (3) Selection of
the Soybeans by Age; and (4) Processing of the beans to (a) produce beneficial dietary
metabolites with the valuable micronutrients through fermentation, (b) improve digestion
and assimilation of the nutrients, and (c) insure that the nutrients were not destroyed
in the processing. Haelan 951 is a result of years of research.
