Natural soy lecithin is a mixture of lecithin extracted from natural soybeans and then refined to produce a higher purity lecithin. Phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidic acid (PA) and other physiologically active components are the active components of lecithin. The most important active substance is phosphatidylcholine (PC), which not only provides acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter needed by the human brain, but also provides polyunsaturated essential fatty acids that cannot be synthesized by the human body itself, and has many physiological functions.

Lecithin exists in every cell of the human body, and is more concentrated in the brain, nervous system, blood circulation system, immune system, and important organs such as the liver, heart, kidney, etc. It is the main component of the cell membrane.

The cell metabolic process is regulated by the cell membrane, supplementing lecithin to the human body means that it can repair the damaged cell membrane, improve the cell membrane function, soften and rejuvenate the cell membrane, and increase the cell activity. It can improve the body's metabolic ability, self-healing ability and regeneration ability of antibody tissues, and enhance the vitality of the human body.

At the same time, phospholipids are amphoteric molecules, consisting of hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail, which can be hydrophilic and lipophilic, and is a strong natural emulsifier, which can emulsify and decompose fats and oils.

It can emulsify and decompose fats and oils. It can emulsify cholesterol and fats adhering to blood vessel walls into particles, which can be metabolized by the liver and dissolved in blood. It softens blood vessels, improves serum lipids, removes peroxides, reduces cholesterol and fat content in the blood, increases HDL, reduces blood viscosity, improves blood circulation, and reduces the retention time of fat in the blood vessels. In turn, the nutrient-rich, oxygenated blood flows freely to the brain, heart and other organs. At the same time, it reduces the infiltration of liver cells by fat, reduces lipid peroxidation due to free radicals or oxidants, and has an anti-aging effect on liver cells.

People can consume soybeans directly to get the necessary lecithin. However, the phospholipid content of soybeans is very low, only 0.5%, and the phosphatidylcholine (PC) content is even lower: a normal person would need to consume at least 2 kilograms of soybeans to replenish the amount of phosphatidylcholine (PC) consumed each day by soybeans alone. As you can imagine, it is difficult to replace PC without refined lecithin, or with lecithin products that contain negligible amounts of phosphatidylcholine (PC). In order for the human body to function better as a sophisticated machine, it is necessary to supplement a certain amount of refined soy lecithin every day to replenish the PC in sufficient quantities.

Main effects of lecithin

Effectively reduce blood lipids and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Soy lecithin can effectively lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL: bad cholesterol), maintain or elevate high-density lipoprotein (HDL: good cholesterol) in the blood, effectively lower the amount of total cholesterol in the blood, restore the normal blood lipids and blood viscosity, improve the elasticity of blood vessels, prevent vascular sclerosis, protect the cardiovascular and cerebral vessels, and prevent arteriosclerosis. Generally speaking, after consuming meat, the fat content in human blood will increase, and the blood lipids can be normalized in 2-3 hours for young people, but it takes 5-12 hours or even more than 20 hours for middle-aged and old people. The longer the lipids stay in the blood, the easier it is to cause the accumulation of cholesterol and triglycerides, which will lead to atherosclerosis. Therefore, by consuming sufficient amount of soy lecithin and utilizing its strong emulsification function, the lipids in the blood can be removed in time. It protects the liver, prevents and improves liver cirrhosis, fatty liver and liver injury caused by poison, foreign bodies and drugs.

Soy lecithin is a strong emulsifier, which can emulsify fat into very fine particles, helping to expel fat, thus reducing the infiltration of liver cells by fat. In addition, soy lecithin can reduce lipid peroxidation due to free radicals or oxidants, and has anti-aging effects on liver cells.
