Lecithin
Lecithin is another key ingredient in Nutrovid™. Lecithin is a substance that’s naturally found in the tissues of your body. It’s made up of fatty acids, and it has a variety of commercial and medical uses. Lecithin works as an emulsifier, meaning it suspends fats and oils and keeps them from mixing with other substances.
Learn about the benefits of Lecithin:
Reduce Cholesterol
Lecithin has a pretty powerful impact on cholesterol. (4) In a 2010 study, participants took a 500 milligram lecithin supplement on the daily for 2 months. (5) It reduced total cholesterol levels by 42% and LDL levels by 56.15%. (6)
Supports Immune Function
Soy lecithin might bolster your immune system, especially if you have diabetes. (7) One study found that daily lecithin supplements increased lymphocytes (natural killer cells) in diabetic rats by 92%. (8) It also increased macrophage activity by 29% in nondiabetic rats. (Macrophages are white blood cells that fight cancer cells, microbes, and debris.) (9)
Digestive Aid
Lecithin might ease inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) symptoms. (10)The fat contains phosphatidylcholine (PC), which helps protect the colon from inflammation and bacteria. (11) A small 2010 study found that lecithin supplements reduced bowel inflammation in folks with ulcerative colitis by 50%. Lecithin might also help with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), but more research is needed. (12)
