What is Soy Lecithin powder? Lecithin can easily be extracted chemically using solvents such as hexane, ethanol, acetone, petroleum ether or benzene; or extraction can be done mechanically. Soy lecithin is extracted from soybeans, It is composed of free fatty acids and small amounts of proteins and carbohydrates. The main component in soy lecithin is phosphatidylcholine, which comprises between 20% to 80% of the total fat amount. Soy lecithin active components includes: Glycerophosphate Sodium oleate Choline Phosphatidylinositol Soy lecithin powder, It is a vital multifunctional active substance used in manufacturing of variety Food Pharmaceuticals, Healthcare and Animal Feeds among other wide ranging Industrial applications. Lecithin is natural dietary source of Essential Phospholipids viz Phosphatidyl choline, Phosphatidyl ethanolamine, Phosphatidyl inositol & Phosphatidyl serine. These phospholipids are the building blocks of life and are vital for healthy function of every cell membrane in the body.

Lecithin Mechanism of Action Lecithin contains fatty acids that can activate gene-regulating receptors (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors). Once activated, these receptors play a major role in energy balance and metabolic function. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors exist in many types of tissues such as in the heart, liver, muscle, fat, and intestine. These tissues rely on receptor activation for the promotion of fatty acid, ketone bodies, and glucose metabolism. Ketone bodies are used by the body as a source of energy.

In Cosmetics Industries Lecithin adds to Suppleness, Penetration, Lather Stability, Better Distribution, Skin Protection and care. It is a good antioxidant since its chelating ability enables it to combat complex heavy metals. Lecithin increases respiration capacity of the skin. Usage level is 0.5% to 2.0%
In Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare Industries Lecithin is natural dietary source of Essential Phospholipids-the valuable nutrients viz Phosphatidyl choline, hosphatidyl ethanolamine, Phosphatidyl inositol & Phosphatidyl serine. These phospholipids are the building blocks of life and are vital for healthy function of every cell membrane in the body. Lecithin provides prophylaxis against cardiac disorders, arteriosclerosis & helps maintain a healthy heart and cardiovascular system. Lecithin and its components provide nutritional support for the brain function. They boost capacity to work, memory, counteract depression, dementia & protect brain cells from decay. In Liver, lecithin metabolizes clogging fat and reduces the chance of liver degeneration. In the intestinal tract, lecithin helps the absorption of vitamins A and D.
