The health benefits of choline, also known as the newest vitamin, has been known about for years by scientists. The National Academy of Sciences recognized it as an essential nutrient in 1998. Choline can influence the brain in many positive ways, including; brain development and improving memory throughout life. There are also known benefits for cardiovascular health, liver function, and reproductive development.
Continued clinical research has shown that lecithin and choline can improve your memory, especially mild memory loss associated with the aging process. Lecithin can augment memory in normal adults, especially in those folks that have moderately poor memory function to start with.
Lecithin has a major role with regard to improving heart health by lowering total and LDL cholesterol levels and helping to reduce high homocysteine levels in the blood, which has been linked to arterial damage.
The liver can be helped with lecithin as well and is essential to liver function and health. It has been shown that even a few weeks on a choline-deficient diet results in a fatty liver, which can lead to cirrhosis. Lecithin provides the choline that the liver requires and it seems to directly protect the liver from cirrhosis due to excessive alcohol consumption.
