What is LECITHIN 1200 mg from Pure Nutrition?
A healthy dietary supplement that contains soy lecithin, which has the ability to lower cholesterol levels and enhance brain function.
When trying to answer the question, “What is soy lecithin?” our search immediately takes us to mid-19th century France. First isolated by French chemist Théodore Gobley in 1846, lecithin is a general term for a variety of naturally occurring fatty compounds found in animal and plant tissues. Composed of choline, fatty acids, glycerol, glycolipids, phospholipids, phosphoric acid, and triglycerides, lecithin was originally isolated from egg yolk. Today, it is routinely extracted from cottonseed, marine sources, milk, canola, soybeans, and sunflower.
Health benefits of taking soy lecithin:
- Regulates Cholesterol Levels - Dietary soy lecithin supplementation has been most strongly associated with reducing hyperlipidemia and influencing lipid metabolism. Dietary soy lecithin supplementation can lower cholesterol naturally. Research has shown that lecithin's properties have the ability to reduce excess LDL cholesterol and promote the synthesis of HDL in the liver.
- Serves as a source of choline - Soy lecithin contains phosphatidylcholine, which is one of the main forms of choline, a macronutrient that plays an important role in liver function, muscle movement, metabolism, nerve function, and proper brain development.
- May boost immunity - Supplementing soy lecithin has been shown to significantly boost immune function in diabetics.
- Helps the body cope with physical and mental stress - One of the many keys to soy lecithin's health benefits is a compound known as phosphatidylserine - a common phospholipid that helps make up part of cell membranes.
- May Improve Cognitive Function – Phosphatidylserine and phosphatidic acid derived from soy lecithin may have a positive impact on memory, cognitive abilities, and mood among the elderly and those suffering from cognitive conditions.
- May Prevent Osteoporosis - Although research is mixed, there are studies that show that soy and soy-based ingredients, including soy lecithin, act as anti-resorptive and bone-strengthening agents to prevent osteoporosis. This is due to the isoflavones found in soy, specifically the glycosides.
- Relieves Menopausal Symptoms – Soy lecithin supplements may help improve menopausal symptoms by improving vitality and blood pressure levels in menopausal women.
