Soy lecithin – properties and applications



Lecithin – what is it and what are its properties?

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, and participates in the functioning of the bone marrow. Soy is the main source of lecithin, whose main ingredients are choline and inositol. Choline protects the cell membrane against 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. If it is missing, liver dysfunction may occur. Eating large amounts of fat and unhealthy eating can overload the liver, which is unable to properly break down harmful substances and fats, and these are stored. As a result, the so-called apple-type obesity appears in the abdominal area, as well as cellulite, which often occurs at a young age. Because lecithin supports the breakdown of fats and accelerates metabolism, it is also worth using it as a supplement to slimming diets.

What role does lecithin play?

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 by transporting cholesterol out of blood vessels, so that it cannot accumulate in the walls of blood vessels. This is why it is an important ingredient in a product called Cholestone Calivita. Lecithin improves flow conditions in blood vessels and can even reduce high blood pressure. Lecithin increases the brain’s energy supply, strengthens the nerves, improves memory, while soothing stress reactions and reducing mental fatigue. It is also an effective help in the fight against mental retardation. Its deficiency may cause headaches, memory problems, irritability and difficulty concentrating. Experience shows that it has a beneficial effect on joint pain and has a positive effect on the condition of hair, reducing hair loss. Due to its popularity, Calivita’s Super Soya Lecithin is available in packages of 100 and 250, and the offer also includes triple strength lecithin. Depending on the source of the problem, all three lecithins can be combined well with other Calivita products.
