Lecithin
Lecithin 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 and as such it 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.
