Soy lecithin - properties and application

Lecithin is a fat-like substance classified as phosphoglycerides, which is essential for the human body. It is found in significant amounts in the cell membrane and muscles. It is necessary for the functioning of the central and peripheral nervous system, supports the immune system, participates in the functioning of the bone marrow. Soy is the main source of lecithin, the main components of which are choline and inositol. Choline protects the cell membrane from external influences, participates in the transmission of nerve impulses (acetylcholine is produced from it), and also plays an important role in fat metabolism. Inositol also supports brain processes. Both choline and lecithin break down fat and protect the liver. In its absence, liver dysfunction may occur. Eating a lot of fat and eating unhealthy can overload the liver, which is unable to properly break down harmful substances and fats, and these are stored. Thanks to this, the so-called apple-type obesity appears in the abdominal area, as well as cellulite, which often occurs at a young age. Since lecithin supports the breakdown of fats and accelerates metabolism, it is also worth using it as a supplement to slimming diets.

Lecithin supports the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, protects the gastric mucosa and supports the production of acids. It participates in the regulation of cholesterol levels in such a way that it transports cholesterol from the blood vessels, so that it cannot accumulate in the walls of blood vessels. It is for this reason that it is an important ingredient in the product called Cholestone Calivita. Lecithin improves blood flow conditions and can even lower high blood pressure. Lecithin increases the brain's energy supply, strengthens the nerves, improves memory, while alleviating stress reactions and reducing mental fatigue. It is also an effective aid in the fight against mental retardation. Its deficiency can cause headaches, memory problems, irritability and difficulty concentrating. Experience shows that it has a beneficial effect on joint pain and has a good effect on the condition of the hair, reducing hair loss. Due to its popularity, Calivita's Super Soya Lecithin is available in packs of 100 and 250, and triple strength lecithin is also offered. Depending on the source of the problem, all three lecithins can be combined well with other Calivita products.
