Lecithin

Lecithin supplements contain a complex mixture of phospholipids, which compose the cellular membrane structure and are used for energy storage. Two types of phospholipids that are all essential components for biological membranes include phosphatidycholine and phosphatidylserine.

According to researchers in Japan, the administration of fresh phospholipids can work to replace damaged cell membranes and restore the structure and function of the cellular membrane. This is called lipid replacement therapy and it has shown to improve fatigue, diabetes symptoms, degenerative diseases and metabolic syndrome.*

Phosphatidylserine is found in the membranes of all animals, higher plants and microorganisms. In humans, it’s most concentrated in the brain and phosphatidylserine supplementation is often used to improve brain function in elderly patients.

Phosphatidycholine serves as a source of cholin, a macronutrient that plays an important role in liver function, muscle movement, metabolism, nerve function and proper brain development.*

So overall the many benefits of proper lecithin levels include the following:

• Lower cholesterol levels*
• Better immune function*
• Improved digestion*
• Improved metabolic syndrome*
• Reduced risk of cardiovascular disease*
• Improved cognitive function*
