  1. Human nutritional needs

  90% of the exogenous choline needed by the human body is provided by
  lecithin. Lecithin provides choline with two major benefits: First, unlike free choline, which is degraded into methylamine due to the action of microorganisms in the intestines; second, it is formed by continuous methyl groups of cephalin (PE) in the liver and other fibrous tissues. It takes a certain time for the synthesis process to obtain choline. Therefore, when the dietary choline is insufficient, the endogenous resources of lecithin (PC) in the body can supplement the body's needs.

  2. Regulating effect on serum lipids

  Regulating serum lipid levels means lowering cholesterol levels, protecting the liver, improving memory, strengthening immunity and anti-fatty liver vitality.

  3. The effect of cystic fibrosis on the absorption of fat

  Cystic fibrosis is a kind of exocrine gland disorder, which is generally caused by limited lipids in the body and insufficient stocks of pancreatic lipase, bile salts and sodium bicarbonate.

  As a result, fat absorption is severely affected. 30% to 60% of fat intake is malabsorption, which can cause steatorrhea. Lysophosphatidylcholine can shift ingested fat and combine monoglycerides and fatty acids in a eutectic matrix. In the presence of sodium bicarbonate ions and bile salts, it becomes easy to absorb.

  4. Healthy heart

  In the 1960s, scientists discovered that lecithin may have a protective effect on the heart. In further research, it was finally confirmed that lecithin has a positive effect on heart health. This is because it can regulate the content of cholesterol in the human body, effectively reduce the incidence of cholesterol, hyperlipidemia and coronary heart disease.

  5. Good for the brain

  The content of lecithin in brain nerve cells accounts for about 17% to 20% of its mass. "Choline" is the basic component of soy lecithin. The sufficient supply of lecithin ensures that sufficient "choline" and "acetyl" in the human body are synthesized into "acetylcholine", which is an information transmitting substance in the brain. Thereby increasing the activation degree of brain cells, improving memory and intelligence level.

  Lecithin has the effect of emulsifying and decomposing oils, can improve blood circulation, improve serum lipids, remove peroxides, reduce blood cholesterol and neutral fat content, reduce the retention time of fat on the inner wall of blood vessels, and promote atherosclerotic plaques Dissipate, prevent vascular intimal damage caused by cholesterol. Taking lecithin has a significant effect on hyperlipidemia and high cholesterol, so it can prevent and treat arteriosclerosis (hypertension, myocardial infarction, cerebral hemorrhage).

  6. Soften the skin

  Lecithin is an indispensable substance for every cell of the human body. If it is lacking, it will reduce the regeneration ability of skin cells, resulting in rough skin and wrinkles. If you can properly take in lecithin, skin regeneration can be guaranteed. Coupled with the good hydrophilicity and lipophilicity of lecithin, the skin will of course be shiny. In addition, the inositol contained in lecithin is also the main nutrient for hair, which can inhibit hair loss and gradually darken white hair.

  7. Delay aging

  As people grow older, their memory will decline, and the reason is to a certain extent related to insufficient acetylcholine content. The decrease of brain neurotransmitter (acetylcholine) is the main cause of Alzheimer's disease. Acetylcholine is a necessary compound for the transmission of information in the nervous system. Moreover, "choline" is the basic component of lecithin. A sufficient supply of lecithin will ensure that there is enough choline in the body to combine with the acetyl in the human body to form "acetylcholine", thus becoming the brain to provide sufficient information transmission material, and the brain can directly Lecithin and choline are taken in from the blood and quickly converted into acetylcholine. Long-term supplementation of lecithin can slow down the process of memory decline and prevent or delay the occurrence of Alzheimer's.

  8 adjust psychology

  Social competition is becoming more and more fierce. People have been in a tense environment and various pressures for a long time. They often suffer from anxiety, irritability, irritability, insomnia, tinnitus, etc., that is, autonomic disorders, usually called neurasthenia. Frequent supplementation of lecithin can make the brain nerves get nutritional supplement in time, maintain a healthy working state, help eliminate fatigue, intensify brain cells, and improve irritability, irritability, and insomnia caused by nervous tension.

  Main source

  Phospholipids and proteins are the most important components of cell membranes. Egg yolk is rich in lecithin. Milk, animal brain, bone marrow, heart, lung, liver, kidney, soybeans and yeast all contain lecithin. Lecithin is mostly combined with protein in the body and exists in the form of fatty protein (lipoprotein). Therefore, lecithin is abundant in nature. Therefore, it is recommended that people try to eat enough foods of a variety of types.

  Lecithin can make the brain nerves get nutritional supplement in time, which is beneficial to eliminate fatigue and relieve nervous tension. There is no age limit for supplementing lecithin, and it can be taken from children to the elderly. For fetuses and babies, it is a necessity for neurodevelopment, so mothers can also supplement lecithin appropriately as needed.
