Lecithin is a naturally occurring compound found in all cells in nature, plant
and animal. It plays a major role in almost all biological processes - including
nerve transmission, breathing and energy production. The word lecithin is taken
from the Greek Lekithos, which means "egg yolk". A fitting name for
this essential nutrient, for the egg is considered a symbol of life, strength
and fertility. Lecithin is important for all of these biological functions and
more. Our brain is approximately 30% Lecithin. The insulating myelin sheaths
that protect the brain, spine and thousands of miles of nerves in in your body
are almost two-thirds Lecithin. Lecithin is composed of many different components,
including Choline, Inositol, Linoleic Acid, Phosphatidylserine, beneficial fatty
acids and triglycerides. These valuable constituents of Lecithin are vital for
the proper functioning of many metabolic processes.* NOW® Lecithin Granules
are dervied entirely from Non-Genetically Engineered (Non-GE) soybeans that
have been Identity Preserved (IP). This guarantees that the soybeans are from
seedstock that has been certified as Non-GE.
