NSP Lecithin: Essential Phospholipids for Brain, Liver & Heart Health
NSP Lecithin is a unique blend of soy lecithin, rich in phospholipids – essential building blocks for cell membranes throughout your body. Phospholipids are vital for transporting fat-soluble substances, forming bile for fat digestion, and ensuring proper absorption of vitamins A, D, E, and K. Their role is paramount during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as they contribute significantly to the development of the baby’s brain and nervous system.
Beyond their structural role, phospholipids offer a wide range of health benefits. They help restore liver and lung health, potentially preventing cirrhosis and fatty liver disease, and reducing the risk of gallstones. They also help stabilize triglyceride levels, contributing to atherosclerosis prevention, and improve the function of the brain, cardiovascular system, liver, and kidneys.
While the average daily intake of phospholipids is around 5g, the recommended daily allowance ranges from 7g to 15g. Supplementing with NSP Lecithin helps bridge this gap, ensuring you receive the necessary amounts for optimal health.
Taking NSP Lecithin is a highly effective way to enhance memory, improve cognitive function, and combat depression. It has also shown promise in improving the quality of life for individuals with multiple sclerosis.
Lecithin (from the Greek word “lekithos” meaning yolk) is essential for nerve impulse transmission and the overall function of your nervous system. Insufficient lecithin intake can lead to irritability, fatigue, nervous exhaustion, and may increase the risk of conditions like dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and multiple sclerosis. The brain contains the highest concentration of lecithin (30%), followed by the nervous system (17%), liver (16%), and heart (10%).
NSP Lecithin’s wide-ranging effects on physiological functions include: restoring liver and lung structure, regulating bile production, preventing cirrhosis (particularly in cases of alcohol abuse), preventing atherosclerosis, lowering cholesterol, stabilizing triglyceride levels, aiding weight management, and supporting pregnant and breastfeeding women by contributing to fetal brain and nervous system development. As a lipotropic factor, it prevents fatty infiltration of the liver. Crucially, it’s also involved in hormone production and the metabolism of fats and cholesterol. Finally, its antioxidant properties combat the damaging effects of free radicals.
NSP Lecithin, derived from soybean oil, contains approximately 40% phospholipids (207mg per capsule).
