Lecithin is a naturally occurring compound found in all cells in
nature, plant and animal. It plays a major role in almost all
biological processes - including nerve transmission, breathing and
energy production. The word Lecithin is taken from the Greek
Lekithos, which means "egg yolk". A fitting name for this
essential nutrient for the egg is considered a symbol of life,
strength and fertility. Lecithin is considered a symbol of life,
strength and fertility. Lecithin is important for all of these
biological functions and more. Our brain is approximately 30%
Lecithin. The insulating myelin sheaths that protect the brain,
spine and thousands of miles of nerves in your body are almost
two-thirds Lecithin. Even the heart has a high concentration of
Lecithin. Lecithin is composed of many different components,
including Choline, Inositol, Linoleic Acid, Phosphatidylserine,
beneficial fatty acids and triglycerides. These valuable
constituents of Lecithin are vital for the proper functioning of
many metabolic processes.* NOW® Lecithin Granules are derived
entirely from soybeans. Look for other NOW® natural products at
