Lecithin is native for a body. It is being produced by our liver and it is on of basic building blocks of cell membranes[1] of all living organisms. Apart from other characteristics it contains linoleic acid that contributes to retaining of normal level of cholesterol in blood. Lecithin in high concentrations is found in important tissues like human brain tissue, liver, heart, muscles or nerve fibres.
Lecithin helps in fats processing - it changes them into form soluble in water and so it makes possible to expell them from organism. It efficiently decreases level of bad LDL cholesterol and increases level of for our body beneficial cholesterol HDL. HDL cholesterol defense heart and blood vessels against heart attack and atherosclerosis[2] .
With decrease of cholesterol in blood vessels the circulation of blood in brain is bettered and functions of nerve system are strenghtened. The ability of focus and thinking are increased, processes of learning are more efficient, mental energy and fresh feeling return.
"The main function of lecithin is to help cells burn fat. Thats why lack of any nutrients that support creation of lecithin, causes insuficient utilization of fats and that leads to coronary diseases[3], high blood pressure and obesity."
