NaturesPlus Soy Lecithin 1200 mg - 90 Softgels

Nutrition and Supplements Lecithins NaturesPlus Soy Lecithin 1200 mg - 90 Softgels Lecithin is a concentrate of phospholipids derived 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 the hepatic metabolism of fats and in the emulsification of body fats. Lecithin, in the form of phosphatidylcholine, is the main source of choline (vitamin B) 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 mobilization of fats into and out of cells. Choline is also the precursor to the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine, which is essential for normal brain activity. Nature's Plus Soy Lecithin comes in the form of pearls made from the highest quality liquid lecithin, sourced from non-GMO soybeans and containing 58-60% phospholipids.
