| Lecithin is a lipid that
is required by every single cell in your body. The cell
membranes in the body are composed largely of lecithin.
These membranes handle the flow of nutrients in and out
of the cell. The protective sheaths around your brain are
also made of lecithin. Muscles and nerve cells also use
lecithin.
Lecithin is used to:
prevent arteriosclerosis, protect against cardiovascular
disease, improve brain function, increase energy levels,
repair damage from alcoholism, help in digestion of fats,
aging, immune system disorders, AIDS, herpes, and chronic
fatigue syndrome.
Lecithin is manufactured in the body by
choline and inositol. Lecithin is high in phosphorous and
unites with iron, iodine and calcium to give power and
vigor to the brain. A lack of lecithin can cause forget-fullness, digestive problems, intolerance to fats, nausea,
hypertension, joint and muscle problems (bursitis, cramps
and soreness).
Lecithin is a smart thing
to supplement in any person's diet because it is used a lot by your body everyday.
It also helps with the
absorption of fat soluable vitamins. Lecithin also enables fats like cholesterol to be
dispersed in water
and then removed from your body.
In Europe, it has been used to treat
hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver.
