Why Supplement With Lecithin? 
	- 
	
	
	Lecithin plays a vital role in the absorption of nutrients out of the blood 
	stream into the cells.   
	- 
	
	Without 
	adequate Lecithin, our cell membranes harden and malabsorption is the end 
	result. Chemicals from environmental pollutants, heavy metals, drugs, 
	food additives, pesticides, etc., cause hardening of the cellular membrane. 
	Therefore, increasing your Lecithin intake is a wise choice in our world 
	today.  
	- 
	
	Lecithin 
	helps reduce or prevent cirrhosis of the liver, because it helps to 
	soften the hardened liver tissue.  
	- 
	
	
	It 
	is part of the myelin sheath that surrounds and insulates nerve fibers. 
	Without this sheath, the nerves function less efficiently. Because of this 
	action as a nerve insulator, people suffering from multiple sclerosis, 
	fibromyalgia, stress, PMS, and depression have benefited immensely. It also 
	functions as a nerve insulator and strengthens neurotransmitters, which 
	allows better communication in the nervous system. Furthermore, children and 
	adults with hyperactivity have significantly benefited from the use of 
	lecithin.  
	- 
	
	It 
	aids our immune system by coating our red blood cells thereby providing 
	protection against the invasion of viruses, germs, or bacteria. In addition, 
	its structure helps to protect the cell from oxidation.  
	- 
	
	
	It is regarded as brain and nerve food. It helps the brain cells 
	develop, is important in the transmission of nerve impulses in the brain, 
	and plays a role in the neurotransmitters that govern short-term memory. 
	Lecithin has been found beneficial in the reduction or prevention of 
	senility and Alzheimer's disease. Some wellness consultants recommend up to 
	7,000 mg daily to help memory.  
	- 
	
	Lecithin 
	is an excellent source of neurotransmitter hormones which are sleep 
	inducing. Lack of these hormones can be one cause of insomnia.  
	- 
	
	It 
	is an essential fatty acid that is important for the lining of the lungs due 
	to its ability to soothe mucous membranes and prevent irritation. 
	Therefore, it has been found helpful for allergies, hay fever, asthma, 
	bronchitis, and emphysema.  
	- 
	
	Is acts 
	as a lubricant for the joints and aids maintenance or healing of 
	pancreatic and kidney tissue as well as the bowel lining. The lining of 
	the small intestines is one of the fastest growing tissues in the body, 
	completely renewing itself in about 1 1/2 days. Therefore, additional 
	Lecithin is very beneficial for sufferers of Crohn's Disease, Colitis, and 
	irritable bowel syndrome.  
	- 
	
	It 
	is a 
	beauty nutrient, because it is essential for healthy, shiny hair and moist, 
	soft skin (helps prevent eczema).  
	- 
	
	It is 
	necessary for the production of various hormones such as epinephrine, 
	which regulates perspiration and prostaglandins. Therefore, it has been 
	very beneficial in the reduction or prevention of PMS, menstrual disorders, 
	and menopause symptoms.  
	- 
	
	
	Along with other substances, is used by the liver to make bile. Bile 
	emulsifies fat and fat soluble nutrients like essential fatty acids along 
	with vitamins A, D, E, and K. This emulsion facilitates the absorption of 
	these nutrients into the body.
