More Info
What is Lecithin?
Lecithin is a naturally occurring group of compounds found in nearly every living cell, and concentrated in the vital organs such as the brain, liver and kidneys.
Lecithin is an emulsifying agent that contains mostly choline, the B vitamin, and smaller amounts of the essential fatty acid linoleic acid and inositol. Emulsifying means that it makes fat soluble in water. Its emulsifying properties allow it to prevent fatty build-ups in the body, for example in the blood vessels and liver.
Lecithin and high cholesterol
Lecithin helps maintain cholesterol levels because it's healthy fats build HDL cholesterol. HDL cholesterol is responsible for moving fat, from storage or plaques, into the liver where processing and excretion of fat occurs. By decreasing fatty build-up on arteries it helps to regulate blood pressure.
How does it help brain and nerve function?
Lecithin is a large component of all cell membranes because it regulates the passage of substances into and out of the cell. The choline it contains can cross the blood-brain barrier to produce brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that aid in memory - in particular acetylcholine. The protective coating of the brain and nerve cells are also composed of choline. In this respect lecithin helps to make the sheath (myelin) that surrounds the nerves that conduct messages from the brain to the muscles and organs of your body, performing a similar function to the insulation sheathing of electrical wires. If this protective sheath degenerates (as in MS), a "shorting out" of the message that the nerve is carrying occurs.
What is Choline?
Best known as a fat emulsifier (lipotropic), it works well with inositol and is one of the few substances that can cross the blood-brain barrier to produce brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that aid in memory in particular acetylcholine. Choline is also needed for the insulation of nerve cells. Choline also helps to regulate fat metabolism (both the good and bad) & cholesterol metabolism in the liver and gallbladder, breaking them down into smaller particles which makes it easier for your body reduce their accumulation. Since healthy fats play a large role in hormone formation, choline can thus help optimize hormone levels in both men and women. It is commonly recommended by natural health care practitioners for a variety of different therapeutic applications, including: fatty liver, cardiovascular health, depression, poor concentration, and neurological diseases such as MS, Tardive Dyskinesia, and Parkinson's disease.
