An Overview of Lecithin
Lecithin is a fatty substance that is typically derived from soy beans. Other sources include foods such as peanuts, eggs, and beef products, although, significant dietary sources are few.
Choline, which is considered to be part of the B-Complex vitamins, has been found to be a primary component of Lecithin. In the brain, Choline is a precursor to the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine and is also involved in the synthesis of Dopamine. Clinical research shows that Choline taken as a dietary supplement provides positive support for:
- Healthy nervous system function
- Healthy cognitive functions such as alertness, concentration and memory
- Normal respiratory function
- The utilization of other fat soluble nutrients such as Vitamins E and K
In the United States, Lecithin is classified as GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) by the Food and Drug Administration. Substances that receive a GRAS classification have maintained a long, safe history of common use in foods or have been determined to be safe based on proven scientific research.
