Lecithin 1, 200 mg 120 softgels: K

Each softgel supplies 1200 milligrams of Unbleached Lecithin (from Soya Lecithin and Soybean Oil), and has all the phospholipids naturally occurring in Lecithin including phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylethanolamine. Because this product is of natural origin, the color or texture may vary occasionally, but this does not affect the fine quality. Lecithin is a fat-like substance called a phospholipid. It is produced daily by the liver, if the diet is adequate. It's needed by every cell in the body and largely makes up cell membranes; without it, they would harden. Our soy lecithin is a mixture of fatty substances that are derived from the processing of soybeans. Studies show most soy-allergic individual can safely eat products containing soy lecithin without experiencing any allergic reactions. Soy Lecithin provides a naturally-occurring combination of Phosphatidyl Choline and other valuable phospholipids. Just one tablespoon supplies a rich source of Choline (approx. 250 mg), almost as much as one egg, but without the cholesterol! Lecithin is important in preventing arteriosclerosis and assisting in protecting against cardiovascular disease. Lecithin protects cells from oxidation, and helps make up the protective sheaths surrounding the brain. Using lecithin can improve brain function and has also been known to promote energy. Lecithin is manufactured in the body by choline and inositol. It is composed largely of B vitamins, phosphoric acid, choline, linoleic acid and inositol. Lecithin is high in phosphorous and unites with iron, iodine and calcium. W.S. Hartroff, M.D., Ph.D., reported in the American Journal of Public Health that the lack of choline was found to head infants toward high blood pressure. Furthermore, it has been found that a choline deficiency induced tendency to high blood pressure can not be reversed. Interestingly enough, human milk contains lecithin while cow"™s milk does not. Lecithin aids in the absorption of thiamine by the liver and is needed to help repair the damage to the liver caused by alcoholism. Although it is a fatty substance, it is also a fat emulsifier"”lecithin enables fats, such as cholesterol, to be dispersed in water and removed from the body. Hence, it also supports the circulatory system by preventing fatty buildup in the arteries and vital organs. Without sufficient lecithin, the body cannot utilize the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. Lecithin improves the digestion and utilization of these vitamins. When a person exercises regularly to improve their muscle tone, the amount of lecithin contained in the muscles increases. This increase in muscle lecithin is in part responsible for the greater endurance of the muscle. Dr. H. Dietrich of Texas has found that often a diabetic's insulin requirements are reduced when lecithin is added to the diet. Psoriasis is apparently due, at least in part to a faulty utilization of fat and is usually
