Lecithin is a phospholipid, a naturally occurring, fat-like compound present in whole grains and legumes, as well as liver and eggs. The highest concentrations in nature are found in egg yolks and soybeans. Lecithin is vital for good health as it performs several important functions for the body. It is a key building block of all cell membranes. It is also the foremost dietary source of the lipotrope choline. Lipotropes play an important role in fat metabolism, helping to break down cholesterol into essential fatty acids, and helping to transport them out of the liver to be oxidized for energy, or eliminated from the body. Studies have indicated that high serum levels of the amino acid derivative homocysteine appears to be a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Studies have indicated that certain vitamins such as B6, B12, and folic acid help support a reduction in serum homocysteine levels. Choline performs an important supporting role in such action by transferring methyl groups hydrocarbons to the vitamins, which is needed in order for them to function. Due to its high choline content, lecithin may provide excellent nutritional support for a healthy cardiovascular system.

Aside from its supporting role in fat metabolism and cardiovascular function, choline is a precursor to the neurotransmitting hormone acetylcholine. Research suggests that cognition, intelligence, memory  and mood are regulated in part by acetylcholine metabolism in the brain. CaliVita® Super Soya Lecithin, and Triple Potency Lecithin are derived from the highest quality non-GMO soybeans.
