Lecithin is a naturally occurring compound found in all cells in
nature, both plant and animal. It plays a major role in most biological
processes - from breathing to energy production to nerve transmission.
Your brain is approximately 30% lecithin!*
Lecithin is composed of a group of phosphorus containing fats or
phospholipids the most important being phosphatidylcholine,
phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidylethanolamine. Lecithin can be
found in a variety of foods including egg yolks, milk, meats, fish, and
legumes. Since our intake of some of these foods has been reduced due
to cholesterol and fat concerns we have concomitantly reduced our
intake of this important nutrient. Every living cell contains these
phospholipids and the functioning of our nervous system is particularly
compromised if we are inadequate in lecithin’s key ingredients.
Deficiencies are linked to a variety of neurological disorders.
Phosphatidylcholine builds nerve cells and substances they communicate
with and has been studied for memory.* Read More...
