Now Foods Lecithin 19 Grain, 400 softgels/1200mg

Product Description

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 in Alzheimer’s disease and memory. 

Lecithin Capsules contain 15% phosphatidyl choline, which comprises a major portion of our brain and nervous system. Lecithin is also a source of essential fatty acids, choline, and inositol. Lecithin aids in emulsifying fats.
