What it is Links LECITHIN is a nutrient that is essential to evey living cell in the human body. It is a fat-like substance called a lipid and is mostly comprised of choline, but also includes inositol, phosphorous, and linoleic acid. Lecithin is a fat emulsifier and helps to bind fats and cholesterol to water in order to avoid potentially harmful plaque buildup in the heart or liver. Lecithin is also present in nerve cells and cell membranes, the protective sheaths of cells surrounding the brain as it protects cells from oxidation. Why you need it The choline found in lecithin helps the body produce acetylcholine, which is an essential neurotransmitter in the brain. Acetylcholine acts as a chemical messenger from the brain to parts of the nervous system, and is essential for the brain’s memory function. Choline and inositol in lecithin protect against heart disease and hardening of arteries by promoting normal processing of fat and cholesterol.
