What is "Lecithin"?
Lecithin is known as the "third nutrient" alongside protein and vitamins. However, few people really understand lecithin. In 1844, Frenchman Gohley discovered lecithin from egg yolk and named it Lecithos in Greek. The general drug name is Lecithin, and its mystery has been unveiled since then.

Lecithin is the basic substance of life, and human life is inseparable from its nourishment and protection from beginning to end. Lecithin exists in every cell, and is more concentrated in the brain and nervous system, blood circulation system, immune system, and important organs such as liver, heart, and kidneys. Lecithin has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and is classified as "Generally Recognized As Safe" (GRAS) and suitable for human use. Lecithin is an integral component of cell membranes, is completely metabolized, and is therefore virtually non-toxic to humans. Other emulsifiers are excreted only through the kidneys.
Main health benefits
1. It is the protector of the liver
Choline in phospholipids has an affinity for fat. If there is insufficient choline in the body, it will affect fat metabolism, cause fat to accumulate in the liver, form fatty liver, and even cause inflammation and swelling. Lecithin can not only prevent fatty liver, but also promote liver cell regeneration. At the same time, phospholipids can reduce serum cholesterol levels, prevent cirrhosis and help restore liver function.
For a long time, nutritionists and medical scientists have recognized that lecithin has a protective effect on the liver function of humans and animals. In one experiment, Dr. Zessel found that liver cells grown in test tubes died due to a lack of lecithin. He also found in animal experiments that eating a lecithin-deficient diet for just a few weeks caused abnormal liver function and significantly increased the rate of liver cancer. He also found in his research that with the increasing number of diseases of modern civilization, alcohol and high cholesterol have become two important factors for fatty liver and cirrhosis. The anti-hangover effect of lecithin and its powerful emulsifying effect can fully protect liver cells, promote the activation and regeneration of liver cells, enhance liver function, thereby effectively reducing the incidence of alcoholic cirrhosis, fatty liver and other diseases rate.
2. Positive effects on heart health
In the 1960s, scientists discovered that lecithin may have a protective effect on the heart. Further research finally confirmed that lecithin has a positive effect on heart health. This is because it can regulate the content of cholesterol in the human body and effectively reduce the incidence of cholesterol, hyperlipidemia and coronary heart disease.

3. Maintain alveolar activity and help oxygen intake
Smokers should take more lecithin supplements. Why should they eat more lecithin? The lecithin content in the lungs of smokers is only seven times that of non-smokers. The alveoli are the cells that absorb oxygen in the body. The alveoli are moist and the inhaled oxygen is easily dissolved. Otherwise, the body will become hypoxic. Lecithin has good hydrophilicity and can keep the alveoli moist, thereby increasing the body's oxygen intake. Smokers generally have dry alveoli and insufficient oxygen uptake, and they are more likely to suffer from fatigue due to lack of oxygen after exercise and work, so they should Supplement more lecithin.
4. It is the "scavenger" of blood vessels
Lecithin has the function of emulsifying and decomposing fats, which can promote blood circulation, improve serum lipids, remove peroxides, reduce cholesterol and neutral fat content in the blood, reduce the retention time of fat on the inner wall of blood vessels, and promote atherosclerotic plaques. dissipates and prevents damage to the intima of blood vessels caused by cholesterol. Taking lecithin has a significant effect on hyperlipidemia and high cholesterol.
According to data, the prevalence of arteriosclerosis increases almost simultaneously with people's age. Usually, arteriosclerosis begins in middle age, but as people eat a lot of meat and fat, the onset of arteriosclerosis tends to get younger, and more men than women. Patients with arteriosclerosis usually suffer from hyperlipidemia and cholesterol. The content is higher. Experiments have shown that consuming lecithin can significantly reduce high blood fat and high cholesterol, thereby preventing arteriosclerosis.
5. Effectively dissolve gallstones
Excessive cholesterol in the body will precipitate and form gallstones. 90% of gallstones are composed of cholesterol. The main component of bile is lecithin, in addition to water, cholesterol, minerals and pigments. Lecithin can decompose, digest and absorb excess cholesterol, so that the cholesterol in bile remains in liquid form. If a certain amount of lecithin is taken every day, it can effectively prevent the formation of gallstones and can also dissolve the gallstones that have already formed.
6. It is a necessity for the neural development of fetuses and infants
Under normal circumstances, the amniotic fluid in pregnant women contains a large amount of lecithin. There are about 15 billion brain cells in the human body, 70% of which have been formed in the mother's body. In order to promote the healthy development of fetal brain cells, it is important for pregnant women to supplement enough lecithin. Infancy is the most critical period for brain formation and development. Lecithin can promote the growth and development of the brain's nervous system and brain volume. Therefore, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stipulates that lecithin must be added to infant formula.
7. Moisturizes the skin
Lecithin is an indispensable substance for every cell in the human body. If it is lacking, the regeneration ability of skin cells will be reduced, resulting in rough skin and wrinkles. If lecithin is properly taken, the skin's regeneration vitality can be guaranteed. In addition, the good hydrophilicity and lipophilicity of lecithin will naturally make the skin shiny. In addition, the inositol contained in lecithin is also the main nutrient for hair, which can inhibit hair loss and slowly turn white hair black.
8. It is a good psychological regulator
As social competition becomes increasingly fierce, people are under a tense environment and various pressures for a long time, and often suffer from anxiety, impatience, irritability, insomnia, tinnitus and other symptoms, that is, autonomic nervous system disorders, usually called neurasthenia. Regular supplementation of lecithin can make the brain nerves get timely nutritional supplements, maintain a healthy working state, help eliminate fatigue, stimulate brain cells, and improve impatience, irritability, insomnia and other symptoms caused by nervous tension.
