The Lecithin from Lewis Labs

Lecithin is found in every living cell. Its highest concentration is in the vital organs ^_ the brain, heart, liver and kidneys. In our bodies it performs an astonishing range of vital function directly affecting our health and well-being. Briefly, here are some of, but by no means all, the benefits lecithin provides:

• In the brain, lecithin choline will be transformed into acetylcholine, a vital compound for the transmission of messages from one nerve to another. This has a proven effect on memory, thinking ability and muscle control.
• In the bloodstream, lecithin helps prevent cholesterol and other fats from accumulating on the walls of your arteries and may help dissolve away deposits that may already be there.
• In the liver, lecithin metabolizes clogging fat and reduces the chance of liver degeneration.
• In the intestinal tract, lecithin helps the absorption of Vitamins A and D and influences the utilization of other fat soluble nutrients such as Vitamins E and K.

The list could go on and on, including effects on the skin, nervous system, distribution of body fat, etc.

Let's look at how it works in two vital respects ^_ as an emulsifier and as a brain tonic.

LECITHIN - THE EMULSIFIER

By helping to dissolve fats and cholesterol, lecithin functions as the body's emulsifier. Fats and oils are an essential part of the diet, yet they must function within the watery environment of the body. Although oil and water do not mix, a lecithin molecule can hold them together. One end of the molecule (containing fatty acids) is attracted to the oil, and the other (containing phosphorus and nitrogen) is attracted to the water. Thus, lecithin acts as a bridge between water and oil. It has the ability to keep fat-like cholesterol particles in solution while they journey through the arteries so they are unable to settle out and form dangerous deposits on the walls of the blood vessels. A buildup of these deposits can narrow or shut off a blood vessel, the consequences of which could be arteriosclerosis and heart attack.

Lecithin helps remove the fatty liver deposits as well, so you can enjoy a healthier liver and a more youthful metabolic process.

LECITHIN - THE BRAIN TONIC

In 1975, scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discovered lecithin choline has a prompt effect on the brain's ability to make an important chemical for nerve signal transmission
