Lecithin is a naturally occurring mixture of different categories of phospholipids and other lipids, their individual composition depending on their origin.
Phospholipids (polar lipids containing phosphorous) are commonly found in plant and animal cells and are the active ingredient of all lecithins.
The lecithins offered by us are natural products extracted from non-GMO soyabeans.
Lecithin due to the Phospholipids is a natural emulsifier providing a variety of surface-active properties to two different substances-like oil and water allowing them to blend together easily. This characteristic of blending immiscible substances makes lecithin an invaluable, low-cost functional ingredient in foods, nutritional products, many industrial applications and in animal feed, too.
Lecithin, a surface active substance is therefore used in variety of applications as an emulsifier, dispersion agent and wetting agent apart from the health benefits it provides as an important ingredient in dietary supplements and other nutritional products.
Lecithin and its primary component, choline are also believed to play important roles in cardiovascular health; liver and cell function; fertility, pregnancy and child development; and possibly in memory enhancement.
