1. 90% of the exogenous choline required by the human body is provided by lecithin. Lecithin provides choline with two major benefits: first, unlike free choline, which will be degraded into methylamine due to the action of microorganisms in the intestine; second, it is the continuous methyl group of cephalin (PE) in the liver and other fibrous tissues. Choline is obtained through chemical synthesis, and this synthesis process takes a certain amount of time. Therefore, when dietary choline is insufficient, the endogenous resources of lecithin (PC) remaining in the body can supplement the body's needs.
2. Regulatory effect on serum lipids
Regulating serum lipid levels means lowering cholesterol levels, protecting the liver, improving memory, strengthening immunity and fighting fatty liver disease. of vitality.
3. The impact of cystic fibrosis on fat absorption
Cystic fibrosis is an exocrine gland disorder, usually due to limited lipids in the body, pancreatic lipase, Caused by insufficient stores of bile salts and sodium bicarbonate.
As a result, the absorption of fat is seriously affected, and 30% to 60% of ingested fat is malabsorbed, thus causing steatorrhea. Lysophosphatidylcholine displaces ingested fat and combines monoglycerides and fatty acids in a low-melt matrix. In the presence of sodium bicarbonate ions and bile salts, it becomes easier to absorb.
4. Healthy heart
In the 1960s, scientists discovered that lecithin may have a protective effect on the heart. In further research, it was finally confirmed that lecithin has a beneficial effect on heart health. Have a positive effect. 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.
5. Good for the brain
The content of lecithin in brain nerve cells accounts for about 17% to 20% of their mass. "Choline" is the basic component of soy lecithin. The sufficient supply of lecithin ensures sufficient "choline" and "acetyl" in the human body to be synthesized into "acetylcholine". "Acetylcholine" is an information transmission substance in the brain. Thereby increasing the activation degree of brain cells and improving memory and intelligence levels.
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, and reduce fat retention in the inner walls of blood vessels. Over time, it promotes the dissipation of atherosclerotic plaques and prevents damage to the intima of blood vessels caused by cholesterol. Taking lecithin has a significant effect on hyperlipidemia and high cholesterol, so it can prevent and treat arteriosclerosis (hypertension, myocardial infarction, cerebral hemorrhage).
6. Soften the skin
Lecithin is an indispensable substance for every cell in the human body. If it is lacking, it will reduce the regeneration ability of skin cells, leading to rough and wrinkled skin. If lecithin can be taken in appropriately, skin regeneration and vitality can be guaranteed. Coupled with the good hydrophilicity and lipophilicity of lecithin, the skin will naturally be shiny. In addition, the inositol contained in lecithin is also the main nutrient for hair, which can inhibit hair loss and make white hair slowly turn black.
7. Delay aging
As people age, their memory will decline. The reason is related to insufficient acetylcholine content. The main cause of Alzheimer's disease is the decrease in the neurotransmitter (acetylcholine) in the brain. Acetylcholine is a compound necessary for the transmission of information in the nervous system. Moreover, "choline" is the basic component of lecithin. A sufficient supply of lecithin will ensure that there is enough choline in the body to combine with acetyl in the human body into "acetylcholine", thus becoming a sufficient information transmission material for the brain, and the brain can directly Lecithin and choline are taken in from the blood and quickly converted into acetylcholine. Long-term supplementation of lecithin can slow down the process of memory decline and prevent or delay the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease.
8. Adjust your psychology
Social competition is becoming increasingly fierce. People have been in a tense environment and under various pressures for a long time, and often suffer from anxiety, irritability, irritability, insomnia, tinnitus and other symptoms. , that is, autonomic nervous disorder, often called neurasthenia. Regular supplementation of lecithin can provide timely nutritional supplements to the brain nerves, maintain healthy working conditions, help eliminate fatigue, stimulate brain cells, and improve irritability, irritability, insomnia and other symptoms caused by nervous tension.
