Lecithin Granules with Vitamin B-5 and BHA 16 oz (461 gm) powder, #019

All around supplement for cholesterol, weight loss, cognitive decline, and improving energy levels.

Lecithin, or one of its natural constituents, is often found in weight loss preparations for its fat burning properties.

Choline is an important constituent of cell membranes, so choline has functions in virtually every bodily system. The benefits of choline and Lecithin supplementation are due mostly to its role as a component of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. B5 is added to facilitate the conversion of choline to acetylcholine.

The same lecithin product was used in research performed by Ronald Mervis, M.D., at Ohio State University, in which laboratory animals fed lecithin were found to have less deterioration of neuronal dendrites than controls. In addition to its value for memory and mental function, studies suggest that lecithin alters the membranes of cells in a manner that inhibits the entry of viruses.

Lecithin works by increasing the cell membrane ratio of phosphatidylcholine/ phosphatidylethanolamine to cholesterol, increasing the fluidity of the cell membrane, making it harder for viruses to penetrate. Lecithin’s ability to reduce cholesterol in cell membranes may also prevent cholesterol-induced atherosclerosis.
