LUNASIN Overview Information
Lunasin is a group of amino acids, called a peptide, found in soybeans, oats, barley, and other plants.
Orally, lunasin is used for cancer, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), high cholesterol, heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and weight loss, but there is no good scientific evidence to support its use for any condition.

Possibly Ineffective for:
