Default Soaking beans - nutrients in water?

What nutrients if any are lost in water used to soak dried beans if that
water is drained off and fresh water is then used to cook the beans? My
understanding is that this hydrates the beans and makes them more digestible
for some people. Is it starch that is removed that relates to digestibility?
Are any nutrients lost as well?
