Protein · ingredient guide
A soft, versatile soy protein made by curdling soy milk. When set with calcium salts it also becomes a solid non-dairy source of calcium.
Tofu offers complete plant protein for muscle maintenance, and calcium-set tofu contributes to bone-supporting calcium intake as estrogen declines. Like other soy foods it supplies isoflavones, which may modestly ease hot flashes in some women — the evidence is inconsistent, so tofu is best seen as a healthy protein rather than a menopause treatment. Replacing some red or processed meat with tofu also supports a heart-friendly diet.
Food supports overall health — it doesn't treat or cure any condition. Talk to your clinician about symptoms, supplements, or a diagnosis.
Only when it is set with a calcium salt (calcium sulfate or chloride) — then it can be a good non-dairy calcium source. The label lists this under ingredients or nutrition facts.
