The substances found in sunflower seeds (lecithin and phosphatidylcholine) play a key role in cell signalling and synaptic function.
Sunflower lecithin is a natural source of lecithin, a fat-soluble substance found in many animal and plant foods such as liver, soy, peanuts, wheatgerm and sunflower seeds. It is composed of several naturally occurring components such as inositol, linoleic acid, phosphatidylserine and healthy fatty acids. Lecithin is widely used in the food industry to perfectly mix (disperse) water with lipid molecules.
Lecithin has specific beneficial properties for the body, as it stimulates the nervous system and has a beneficial effect on metabolic processes.
Lecithin is the primary source of choline, and more specifically one of its derivatives, phosphatidylcholine. Lecithin and choline support many processes in the body. They help to build cell membranes, help fats and fat soluble substances to transport across cell walls, and play a role in the regulation of memory and the function of nerves that control muscle movement. Lecithin is also good in combating gallbladder and liver diseases.
Lecithin, made up of choline and inositol, is one of the best fat-burning substances. Choline regulates cholesterol synthesis, enhances the liver's detoxification work and raises carnitine levels in muscle. It is also known to strengthen the heart muscle and reduce joint pain.
The substances found in sunflower seeds (lecithin and phosphatidylcholine) play a key role in cell signalling and synaptic function. The lecithin in the capsule helps emulsify fats and is water dispersible. The soft gelatine capsule is rapidly absorbed and exerts its effect. NOW® sunflower softgels are non-genetically modified and soy-free.
