Lecithin

Lecithin

Lecithin (from the Greek lekithos – yolk) – is a phospholipid, which includes: choline and phosphodiglyceride. Lecithin is necessary for the body as a building material for renewing cell membranes. Lecithin ensures normal lipid metabolism, improves the functioning of the brain, cardiovascular system, liver, is a surface-active agent and acts as an emulsifier. Therefore, lecithin is present in bile, promotes the absorption of fat in the intestines and the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.

This substance has a wide range of effects on the physiological functions of the body: restores the structure of the liver and lungs, regulates the production of bile, prevents the development of cirrhosis due to alcohol abuse, is effective in the prevention of atherosclerosis, removes excess cholesterol from tissues and blood vessels, stabilizes the level of triglycerides in the blood, protects against excess body weight, is necessary in the diet of pregnant and lactating women, as it participates in the formation and normal development of the child’s brain and nervous system. Lecithin is one of the lipotropic factors that prevent fatty infiltration of the liver. Lecithin and choline are required for the production of hormones and for normal metabolism of fats and cholesterol. Lecithin is an antioxidant that prevents the formation of highly toxic free radicals in the body. Insufficient intake of lecithin leads to irritability, fatigue, and nervous exhaustion. A lack of lecithin can cause dementia, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and other diseases. With a deficiency of lecithin, the effectiveness of medications decreases. The lecithin content in the brain is the highest and amounts to 30%, the nervous system – 17%, the liver – 16%, the heart – 10%.
