Why
Lecithin, every single cell in the body needs it to function is
the major reason. And as a one of the body’s most productive
“go-getters”, Lecithin plays a substantial role in virtually
every biological function known to human existence. This natural
source of Choline, Inositol, Linoleic Acid and Phosphatidyl Serine
is fundamental in the transportation of nutrients to-and-from other
cells – thus making it a key factor in how effectively we
metabolize the food in our diet. Perfect for any active lifestyle,
our Lecithin Triple Strength offers amazing benefits that can last
a lifetime.* As always, Pure and Clean!

These
softgels contain 35% phosphatidyl choline, which compromises 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, enabling them to be dispersed in water.*
In
today’s high-tech rapidly changing nutrition marketplace we
are constantly inundated by new products, irresistible fads, and
nutrients that are impossible to pronounce. A nutrient we tried
yesterday has already been forgotten today so as to make room for
the promise of something new tomorrow. Hopefully we can resist the
temptation to forget some of the nutritional giants that have served
as foundations to our health and even our industry. Lecithin is
just one such nutritional powerhouse.
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. As a lipotropic choline is critical in
fat and cholesterol metabolism particularly via the liver. The heart
muscle has one of the highest concentrations of any muscle. For
these reasons one often sees lecithin included in weight loss, cardiovascular,
and liver support formulas.*
Discovered in 1850, Lecithin is a naturally occurring fatty substance
found in foods like soybeans, whole grains and egg yolks. In the
body, lecithin, a type of lipid needed in every living cell, is
broken down into Choline, phosphate, glycerol and fatty acids. Choline
levels may be low in many individuals, particularly as the American
diet includes fewer dairy products, meats and eggs. Researchers
believe Choline is the key element in Lecithin that aids beneficially
in cholesterol reduction and memory. Choline is essential for cardiovascular
health, brain function and cellular membrane composition and repair.
Glycerol is converted into glucose by the liver and provides energy
for cellular metabolism. Essential fatty acids are found in every
cell in the body and are necessary for proper growth and functioning
of cells, muscles, nerves and organs. These fatty acids produce
prostaglandins which are key to many functions in the body.
This
rich source of essential fatty acids is very important because it
helps the body utilize Vitamins A, B, E and K. Also, it naturally
disperses fat and cholesterol into smaller particles, which helps
keep cholesterol from collecting on the arterial walls and keeps
food moving through the body efficiently. This helps protect against
arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Lecithin aids in the
absorption of thiamine by the liver and Vitamin A by the intestine.
