Lecithin      

	Lecithin is important in providing health to the kidneys and liver.
	A fat-like substance called a phospholipid. The liver produces it daily if the diet is adequate. It's needed by every cell in the body and largely makes up cell membranes; without it, they would harden. This makes it ideal in preventing arteriosclerosis and assisting in protecting against cardiovascular disease.
	Emulsifies fat and breaks down cholesterol for proper assimilation into the cells of the body. Lecithin has been tested and shown to lower cholesterol.
	Protects cells from oxidation, and helps make up the protective sheaths surrounding the brain. Using lecithin can improve brain function and has also been known to promote energy.
	It is composed largely of B vitamins, phosphoric acid, choline, linoleic acid and inositol. Lecithin aids in the absorption of thiamine by the liver and is needed to help repair the damage to the liver caused by alcoholism.
	Although it is a fatty substance, it is also a fat emulsifier-lecithin enables fats, such as cholesterol, to be dispersed in water and removed from the body. Hence, it also supports the circulatory system by preventing fatty buildup in the arteries and vital organs.
