Properties

Studies show that the main function of soy lecithin is to emulsify fats, dispersing them into small particles and making it possible to transport them in an aqueous liquid, such as blood, thus preventing them from being deposited in veins and arteries.
• In the digestive system, it facilitates food assimilation by emulsifying the fats found in food.
• The enzyme lecithinase produces the release of choline from the lecithin structure, which has the property of preventing the accumulation of fats in the liver.
• It is useful in preventing the onset of arteriosclerotic conditions, that is, the narrowing and hardening of the arteries due to fatty deposits, particularly cholesterol.
• Promotes a healthy heart and healthy arteries.
• Improves brain function and memory due to the contribution of organic phosphorus, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylserine.
• Helps to normalize cholesterol levels.
• Promotes digestion in people with liver problems or those who have undergone gallbladder surgery.
