General Information
Lecithin naturally incorporates an emulsifying principle that has the ability to break up fats, in particular cholesterol, into tiny particles which can readily pass into body tissues to be utilised. It also helps to absorb, and carry in the blood, fats and Vitamins A,D,E, and K. It is largely composed of the B complex vitamins Choline and Inositol. Choline is essential for the health of the principal component of nerve fibers. Inositol, in combination with Choline, prevents the hardening of arteries and protects the liver, kidneys and heart. Lecithin contains Linoleic Acid, an Essential Fatty Acid (EFA). EFA's are vital for breaking down accumulated fats in the body. Western diets are generally too high in animal fats, refined products and processed foods. This has impaired the body's ability to produce Gamma-linolenic Acid (GLA), (GLA is formed naturally in the body from Linoleic Acid and is an essential element in a healthy metabolism) resulting in accumulated fats and toxins in the body. An excess of accumulated fats in the system has been known to be a contributing factor in obesity, pre-menstrual tension, menopausal problems, heart complaints, skin problems and mental health. Lecithin should always be taken when following a slimming diet because it helps prevent the 'drawn' look, which often occurs during weight reduction, benefiting the skin by filling it out and softening it. Lecithin has also been found to be effective in the treatment of other skin problems such as eczema, acne and psoriasis. Because of its 'regenerative' properties, it helps retard the ageing process. It also helps in the prevention of fatigue due to nerve-sheath destruction, and the promotion of energy in older people. Lecithin assists in relieving stress and is a natural tranquillizer.
