Main producers of lecithin

• Now Foods (USA). The company produces lecithin in different dosages and release forms; the most optimal is lecithin 1200 mg in capsules in a package of 100 capsules. Each capsule contains about 180 mg (15%) of phosphatidylcholine, the main active ingredient. Used as an additional source of phosphatidylcholine and triglycerides. Prescribed only to persons over 18 years of age! Not recommended for self-administration by pregnant and lactating women. Recommended dosage is 3 capsules per day with meals.
• Doppelhertz Active (Germany). Here we can also find soy lecithin capsules with a dosage of 1200 mg. The package contains 30 capsules. Recommended dosage is 1 capsule per day. Each capsule contains about 20% of the daily value of phosphatidylcholine. It is also an additional source of phosphatidylcholine, choline and triglycerides. Contraindications: age under 16 years, pregnancy and breastfeeding, individual intolerance, mental illness, malignant neoplasms.
• Our lecithin (UVIX-PHARM LLC, Russia). This is sunflower lecithin, available in capsules or powder. One capsule contains about 23-25% of the daily value of phosphatidylcholine and 50-60% of phospholipids. Recommended dosage: 2 capsules 2 times a day with meals. This dosage completely covers the daily intake of phospholipids by our body. It has practically no contraindications, except for individual intolerance. Use with caution during exacerbation of cholelithiasis (consultation with a doctor is necessary). Recommended for use by pregnant and lactating women, children from birth (powder form), adults up to the elderly.

Important information: lecithin capsules from foreign manufacturers contain liquid lecithin and the recommended daily dose covers only part of the required daily dosage, while lecithin produced in Russia covers 100%.

Please note: regardless of which lecithin manufacturer, in what dosage form and in what dosage you choose, to normalize the body’s functioning and obtain a visible effect, the minimum period of use is 1 month, the optimal is 3 months. Depending on your condition or disease, the period of taking lecithin may increase from several months to several years.

When choosing a particular lecithin, always pay attention to its manufacturer. This must be a serious company with a good reputation. Ideally, its main and only direction is the production of food supplements and medicines.

Compound

Lecithin, 1200 mg capsules from NF is produced only from high-quality raw materials. There are two ways to obtain lecithin - using soybean oil or sunflower oil. Soy is used in the production of this drug. In addition to the main component, the supplement also contains other vital substances.

Table 2. Composition of the drug

The capsules also contain:

• glycerol;
• water;
• Gelatin.

The composition excludes GMOs, gluten, wheat, shellfish, yeast, milk, and corns.

Types of lecithin

Pharmacy chains sell two main types of lecithin: soy and sunflower. In general, they are quite similar in their properties, but there are still some differences.

Lecithin from soybean oil contains an increased amount of estrogens (female hormones), that is, it is advisable to use it with caution in boys and males. It is also quite allergenic, that is, it can cause an allergic reaction. Well, it’s no secret that soy is one of the products subject to genetic modification. Of course, all soy lecithin manufacturers claim that their products do not contain genetically modified products. But we can’t check this with you, unfortunately.

Lecithin obtained from sunflower is guaranteed not to be GMO, so sunflower is not used for this mutation. Well, an allergic reaction to it or sunflower products is very rare, which makes it a more preferable choice for allergy sufferers.

Pharmacological properties

Lecithin from the American brand Now Foods contains a number of useful elements. Each serving (3 caps.) of the drug contains a sufficient amount of phospholipids and triglycerides, which are significant for the body throughout life.

Therefore, the drug has a beneficial effect on the body, exhibiting the following properties:

1. Supports the functioning of the nervous system.
2. Improves blood circulation.
3. Removes harmful substances.
4. Normalizes metabolism.
5. Improves brain function.
6. Acts as an antioxidant.
7. Blocks an increase in the level of “bad” cholesterol.
8. Supports liver function.
9. Helps restore damaged cells and tissues.
10. Provides transport of nutrients throughout the body.

Interesting to know! Lecithin is a source of B4.

By taking NF capsules regularly, you will improve not only your health, but also your appearance. The effect of the drug directly affects the condition of the skin.

What is phosphatidylcholine?

As mentioned above, phosphatidylcholine is a phospholipid found in eggs, sunflower seeds, and other foods. It serves as a source of choline for the body.

The terms lecithin and phosphatidylcholine (PC) are often used interchangeably. However, PC, which actually consists of lecithin, is very different from it.

Lecithin is isolated from foods (such as soy lecithin) and used as an additive that acts as an emulsifier. Lecithin contains two types of phospholipids: phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylcholine.

These two components are essential for biological membranes. They replace damaged cell membranes and maintain their structure and function.

The body uses PC to create acetylcholine, a brain substance that plays a major role in the autonomic nervous system, regulating heart rhythm, dilation of blood vessels, secretion and other functions. Acetylcholine is part of the therapy for cognitive disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, manic-depressive disorder and anxiety.

Scientists were interested in the ability of phosphatidylcholine to destroy fat. For this reason, the substance is often injected subcutaneously to treat benign tumors of adipose tissue and, as a cosmetic agent, to get rid of fat. However, data on the cosmetic use of the substance is still quite limited.

Indications for use

The instructions for use contain recommendations for use. Now Foods lecithin is prescribed only to adults as a dietary supplement.

You can determine how badly you need the drug yourself. Symptoms of deficiency of a substance such as lecithin will help:

• problems with attention, memory;
• absent-mindedness;
• frequent stress, insomnia;
• deterioration of the dermis;
• disruption of the liver and kidneys;
• poor absorption of vitamins and minerals;
• frequent health problems.

Interesting to know! Does your work involve mental activity? Then you simply need dietary supplements to maintain brain function. Such supplements include Lecithin, 1200 from Now Foods.

Benefit for health

The benefits of phosphatidylcholine lie primarily in its work as a phospholipid, which can eliminate fat deposits and promote the functioning of a neurotransmitter associated with memory.

Supports healthy memory

An animal study published in the Journal of Nutrition examined the effects of PC on mice with dementia and low acetylcholine concentrations. The scientists found that PC supplementation improved memory and generally increased the amount of choline and acetylcholine in the brain to or above the levels of healthy control mice.

In a study from the journal Neurobiology of Aging, researchers found that PC levels were significantly lower in patients with Alzheimer's disease. This suggests that the substance may play an important role in the pathology of the disease.

Supports Healthy Metabolism

Phosphatidylserine (PS) and phasphatidylcholine are the most abundant phospholipids, which play an important role in the regulation of lipids, lipoproteins and energy metabolism in the body as a whole. Low levels of PS in tissues can affect energy metabolism and lead to the development of diseases.

Low levels of PC and PC are associated with metabolic disorders, including atherosclerosis, insulin resistance and obesity.

Helps fight non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

PC is known for its ability to break down fat and has been shown to reduce liver lipid levels in mice fed a high-fat diet. The study supports the theory that dietary PC may help treat non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. However, to confirm it, it is necessary to conduct more thorough studies with the participation of volunteers.

Helps get rid of fat deposits

Preliminary research suggests that FQ may be effective for losing fat in the chin, neck, thighs and abdomen. A study published in the journal Aesthetic Plastic Surgery showed clear improvements in all 50 patients who received phosphatidylcholine injections to reduce superficial fat deposits.

Treatment with PC also showed a decrease in the amount of fat without further return and weight gain over the next two years of follow-up.

Fights ulcerative colitis

Phosphatidylcholine may protect the colon wall and relieve symptoms associated with ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease. The study found that ulcerative colitis reduced PC levels in patients, but supplementation of PC into the colon mucosa may alleviate inflammatory activity.

Phosphatidylcholine has other possible properties that have not yet been studied in humans. These include the ability to dissolve cholesterol stones in the bladder, reduce anxiety, relieve PMS symptoms, and fight acne and eczema.

NF lecithin capsules have many good reviews. Customers are delighted with the improved skin condition. Nerves are fine. The mood stops constantly changing. Brain function is normalized.

A small number of consumers speak negatively about imported capsules. This is due to ineffectiveness or unpleasant symptoms after administration. Such reactions can occur only in extreme cases due to hypersensitivity or individual intolerance.
