Soybean Sprout, Carrot and Dried Oyster Lean Pork Soup

Why people make this soup

Around 45, women enter menopause; men reach their own version 5–10 years later. As hormone levels fall, both can feel hot flushes, night sweats, sleeplessness and anxiety, and bone can thin. Nourilo’s answer is to eat well — plenty of calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium and vitamin D. As soybeans sprout, enzymes release more of these minerals, so soybean sprouts make a fine food-therapy base. Carrot supports the eyes and adds antioxidants, while dried oyster traditionally nourishes the qi and blood of both men and women.

What studies say about the key ingredients

Traditional use is not the same as clinical proof. Here is the strongest human research we found for each ingredient, limitations included.

  • Tangerine peel · Randomized controlled trial, 72 participants · 2025
    The tangerine peel drink group showed significant reductions in body weight and triglycerides after the intervention compared with the control group (p < 0.05). Safety markers showed no adverse effects. Gut microbiota and serum metabolite profiles also differed.Limitation: Small pilot trial with only 55 of 72 participants completing. The fermented product is not the same as plain tangerine peel, and the control group is not described.PubMed 40225325
