Soy Lecithin

• Lecithin, a type of phospholipids, is an emulsifying substance that is found in the cells of all living organisms .
• Discovered by French scientist Maurice Gobley in 1805 and name it "lekithos" after the Greek word for "egg Yolk". Soy lecithin was discovered in the 1930s as a by product from soybean processing .
• Soy lecithin consists of three types of phospholipids; phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphotidylinositol (PI).
• Human body uses phospholipids to build strong, flexible cell membranes and to facilitate nerve transmission .
• Lecithin contain Phosphatidyl choline (PC) used to prevent and reverse dementia, improve cognitive function, increase human growth hormone release, and to treat brain disorder. PC may help build nerve cell membranes, facilitate electrical transmission in the brain, hold membrane proteins in place, and produce the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. (52, 53 & 54) .
