lecithin function in body - #28777
I am a bit confused about the lecithin function in the body and would love some clarity. A couple months ago, I started taking a supplement because I heard it can help with cholesterol and liver health. My diet was pretty limited and full of processed foods, so I thought lecithin might help somehow with those issues. After a few weeks, I noticed my digestion was a little better, but now I’m wondering if that’s just a coincidence or if the lecithin function in the body is really doing something. I mean, I've heard it helps with things like cell membranes and fat metabolism, but how does that actually work? Are those the only lecithin functions? I've been trying to eat more eggs, since I know they’re a natural source, but is that enough or should I be upping my supplement dose? Is there any science to back up what I’m experiencing, like any studies on how lecithin function in body relates to improving digestion or cholesterol specifically? Just feel stuck with all this info swirling around!! Any thoughts or experiences would really help me understand better what the lecithin function in the body really is and if I should keep it up. Thanks!
