Lecithin is one of the phospholipids, a special kind of modified fat found in foods and made by the body. Lecithin and other phospholipids act as emulsifiers, which allow fats and water to mix. Because of this property, Lecithin and other phospholipids form cell membranes.
Lecithin also helps dissolve cholesterol and fats in the blood. Lecithin supports a healthy cardiovascular system.*
Lecithin is a rich source of choline, now known to be an essential nutrient for humans. Choline is a very important neurotransmitter (messenger molecule) in the brain and the nerves throughout the body. Lecithin and the choline it contains, help to maintain healthy brain function.*
