Lecithin 19 Granules
This natural compound derived from soy beans is very popular for its possible benefits in lowering blood cholesterol levels, protecting against heart disease, improving the memory and increasing energy levels. Lecithin, or one of its natural constituents, is often found in weight loss preparations for its fat burning properties. Lecithin contains
all the phosphatides found naturally in cell membranes. 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. Note: Additional pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) should be taken with this product to facilitate the conversion of choline to acetylcholine. Since it is easily oxidized, other antioxidant nutrients should be taken at the same time. Supplement
