Functions of lecithin

Lecithin is known as the "third nutrient" alongside protein and vitamins; as a functional nutritional health product, it cannot be effective immediately like drugs, but it does not have the toxic and side effects of drugs, and has a comprehensive, long-term and stable effect. 

1. Protector of the liver

Lecithin can not only prevent fatty liver, but also promote liver cell regeneration! At the same time, phospholipids can reduce serum cholesterol levels, prevent liver cirrhosis and help restore liver function.

2. Positive effects on heart health

Because it can regulate the content of cholesterol in the human body, effectively reduce cholesterol, hyperlipidemia and the incidence of coronary heart disease.

3. Promote brain development and enhance memory

Warren Lake, a professor of psychology at DUKE University in North Carolina, USA, mentioned in the report: The offspring of pregnant rats fed with lecithin had significantly better memory in the intelligence test (maze test) than those without lecithin.

4. The "scavenger" of blood vessels

Lecithin has the functions of emulsifying and decomposing oil, which can promote blood circulation, improve serum lipids, remove peroxides, reduce the content of cholesterol and neutral fat in blood, reduce the residence time of fat in the inner wall of blood vessels, and promote atherosclerotic plaques. 

5. A nutritional product for diabetic patients

One of the basic causes of diabetes is the inability to secrete sufficient insulin and effectively transport glucose from the blood into cells. Insufficient lecithin will reduce the function of the pancreas. 

6. Effectively resolve gallstones

Lecithin can break down, digest and absorb excess cholesterol, so that cholesterol in bile remains liquid. 

7. Necessary for fetal and infant neurodevelopment

The amniotic fluid of pregnant women contains a large amount of lecithin. There are about 15 billion human brain cells, 70% of which are already formed in the mother. In order to promote the healthy development of fetal brain cells, it is very important for pregnant women to supplement enough lecithin. 

8.Eliminate acne, freckles and moisturize the skin

Lecithin is a natural detoxifier, it can decompose excessive toxins in the body and excrete them through the liver and kidneys. 

9. Prevent the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease

Decreased neurotransmitter (acetylcholine) in the brain is the main cause of Alzheimer's disease. Acetylcholine is a compound necessary for the transmission of information in the nervous system. Moreover, "choline" is the basic component of lecithin, and a sufficient supply of lecithin will ensure that there is enough choline in the body to combine with acetyl in the human body to form "acetylcholine".

10. A good psychological reconciler

Regular supplementation of lecithin can make the brain nerves receive nutritional supplements in time, maintain a healthy working state, help eliminate fatigue, stimulate brain cells, and improve irritability, irritability, insomnia and other symptoms caused by nervousness.
