Lecithin, supplied by Douglas Laboratories, is
conveniently offered in both softgel and granular forms. Lecithin, from soybeans, can supply important
phospholipids including phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylcholine
Phosphatidylserine is active in cell membranes and is the major acidic
phospholipid component in the membranes of the brain. Membranes are the working
surfaces of every cell, carrying out the essential functions of cellular
communication and hormonal signal transduction. Nerve cells, in particular,
depend on healthy membrane function for normal neurotransmitter metabolism and
nerve signal transmission. Choline, as a component of phosphatidylcholine, is
used for synthesis and maintenance of normal cell membranes. Dietary deficiency
of choline can result in steep increases in serum enzyme markers of liver
injury. In addition, lecithin can play a key role in the emulsification and
mobilization of fats and cholesterol Lecithin may be a useful dietary supplement for
individuals who wish to include lecithin as part of their diet. Adults take 1 softgel daily with meals or as
directed by physician. No known side effects reported. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct
light. Keep out of reach of children. Allegro L, Favaretto V, Ziliotto G. Oral phosphatidylserine
