Lecithin

Lecithin is a mixture of organic chemical compounds from the group of phospholipids and lipids, which is one of the best sources of phosphatidylcholine. The nutrients particularly rich in lecithin include egg yolks, soybean, sunflower, and oilseed rape seeds. Supplementation most often derives lecithin obtained from sunflower and soy. Leading producers use non-genetically modified plants.

Lecithin is crucial for the health and proper functioning of the nervous system. It provides adequate fluidity to cell membranes, improves the transmission of nerve impulses and strengthens the production of an important neurotransmitter called acetylcholine. In addition, it may stimulate the neuroplasticity of the brain and increase receptors' sensitivity to the activity of serotonin, which is the key component for a good mood.

Preparations in this category are especially recommended for people exposed to the intense intellectual effort. They help to strengthen memory, facilitate focusing attention and stabilize the mood. They are ideal for people who are required to focus on details and the ability to quickly acquire knowledge. This is why the supplements are eagerly used by office workers and students. They are equally good for seniors, who are worried about the progressive decline in memory and intellectual performance.
