Sunflower Liquid Lecithin - 16 fl. oz. NOW Foods

Not Just a Food Additive
In most cases, you will often see sunflower lecithin as a food additive. But more than just a food additive, sunflower lecithin is known for its brain-boosting ability. Sunflower lecithin is basically fat derived from sunflower seeds. It can also be used to help people fight memory disorders. It can also be used to boost the mood and can be helpful for people suffering from depression and anxiety.

More Than Just Boosting the Brain
Aside from improving brain function and memory, lecithin is also used in maintaining and supporting healthy gallbladder and liver. The fats in sunflower lecithin are also good for the skin and are great for treating eczema. In fact, it can be applied to the skin to improve its moisture content. It can also be used to improve the condition of the eyes.

How Does It Work?
As a brain booster, sunflower lecithin is converted into acetylcholine that is a substance that transmits nerve impulses. As such, it may help stabilize the activity of the brain as well as the production of neurotransmitters that cause different brain diseases. Sunflower lecithin contains high amounts of phosphatidylcholine, which is the most abundant phospholipid in the cell membrane. This means that it easily binds to the cell membrane thus it acts fast in delivering results. It can bind with phosphatidyl inositol, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, and other fatty acids for better absorption.

Water-Soluble for Easy Absorption
Aside from phosphatidylcholine, sunflower lecithin also helps emulsify fat thus allowing it to be dispersed in water. Remember that the environment within the gut is hydrophilic. The presence of lecithin makes it easier for the supplement to be assimilated in the digestive system.
