What is the function of lecithin?

Lecithin can promote lipogenesis of injured Schwann cells, thus improving myelination. Lecithin is a so-called phospholipid mixture, which comes from soybean or egg yolk and is a harmless food supplement. As one of the research projects funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the researchers showed for the first time that lecithin can be absorbed by Schwann cells and promote myelination through cell culture experiments of transgenic mice.

Lecithin can emulsify and decompose oil, improve blood circulation, improve blood lipid, remove peroxide and reduce the content of cholesterol and neutral fat in blood.

Reduce the leakage time of fat on the inner wall of blood vessels, promote the dissipation of atherosclerotic spots, and prevent intimal damage caused by cholesterol. Taking lecithin has a significant effect on hyperlipidemia and hypercholesterolemia, so it can prevent and treat arteriosclerosis.

Extended data

Phospholipids and protein are the main components of cell membrane. Egg yolk is rich in lecithin, including milk, animal brain, bone marrow, heart, lung, liver, kidney, soybean, yeast and so on.

Lecithin is mostly combined with protein in the body and exists in the form of fatty protein (lipoprotein), so lecithin exists in a rich way in nature, so it is suggested that people should try to eat enough kinds of food.
