Lecithin is a concentrate of phospholipids from soybean oil.
These phospholipids are part of the basic structures of the membranes of all cells in the body.
Lecithin is one of the most abundant natural sources of choline and inositol, two important nutrients that act as lipotropic agents, with an important role in hepatic metabolism of fats and in the emulsification of body fats.
Lecithin, in the form of phosphatidylcholine, is the main source of choline (a B group vitamin) in the diet.
Once in the body, this compound breaks down, releasing choline.
Lecithin and choline are used by the body to build cell membranes and facilitate the movement of fats into and out of cells.
Choline is also the precursor for the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine, which is essential for normal brain activity.
Nature's plus Soy Lecithin is presented in the form of pearls made from the best quality liquid lecithin, from non-transgenic (non-GMO) soybeans and containing 58-60% phospholipids.
