Jamieson Lecithin 1200 mg, 100 Softgels
Features
Lechithin is also a building block for acetylcholine, which is a chemical in the brain that plays a role in memory. Lecithin (and choline) may help treat a variety of gallbladder and liver disorders. For example, lecithin forms part of bile (a substance that digests fat) and as a result, lecithin supplements may prevent the formation of gallstones.
Lecithin keeps the liver functioning properly, which keeps fats from building up in the liver and improves the flow of fat and cholesterol through the liver and gallbladder.
Benefits
- Natural source of choline
- For use in the prevention of fatty liver
