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. A 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.
