Lecithin

Lecithin is a lipid needed for all cell function in the body and occurs naturally in many foods such as egg yolks, soybeans, and whole grains. The body breaks this important fatty substance down into Choline, phosphate, glycerol, and fatty acids. These nutrients are important for the body’s health, and some, such as Choline, are especially lacking in modern American diets due to a deficiency in the consumption of dairy products and meats.

Choline is believed by scientists to help with lowering cholesterol and boosting memory retention. Choline is also vital to good cardiovascular health, cognitive function, and the construction and repair of cells. Glycerol, another substance found in Lecithin, is made into glucose by your liver and helps cell function. The essential fatty acids found in Lecithin are needed by every cell in the body for growth and healthy functioning, and they produce prostaglandins, hormone-like substances that serve many important bodily functions.

Fatty acids are also important because they help the body use vital vitamins A, B, E, and K. Fatty acids also break down fat and cholesterol into smaller particles, keeping them from sticking to artery walls and causing buildup, which can contribute to cardiovascular conditions.

Lecithin is a great supplement for those who are in the later years of life, and a healthy choice for anyone’s diet. Our Lecithin product comes in a convenient and easy-to-swallow softgel capsule for your greatest comfort.
