Lecithin belongs to the complex of phospholipids, i.e. fats that are essential for the proper function of all cells. It contains 60% linoleic acid.
Lecithin is a natural substance in our body that is part of cell walls, nerve tissues, muscle tissues, found in the liver, lungs and heart. Lecithin has a beneficial effect on our entire body and the body needs it unconditionally to function properly.
Who should supplement lecithin?
It should be mainly people who suffer from high cholesterol, people who need to increase their concentration, improve memory, physical activity and maintain mental well-being.
The list of what this substance positively affects is unusually long and therefore its intake should in no way be underestimated.
The daily intake of lecithin should be at least 3g per day, which is not always obtained through natural diet, so it is advisable to seek help from dietary supplements.
Lecithin contains a high proportion of essential fatty acids, which can dissolve harmful LDL cholesterol in the bloodstream that builds up in the blood vessels. Thanks to these acids, cholesterol passes through even the thinnest of blood vessels without multiplying and promoting health problems in the body.
