Lecithin: Lower Cholesterol And Resolve Ulcerative Colitis

Lecithin, a naturally occurring compound, is a vital component of our body's cellular structure. It is composed of phospholipids, including choline, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, and

What is Lecithin?

Lecithin is a mixture of fats that are essential to cells in the human body. It can be found in many foods, including soybeans and egg yolks.
In the diet, lecithin is the main source of choline, a nutrient similar to the B vitamins. Lecithin is converted into acetylcholine, a substance that transmits nerve impulses.

Health Benefits of Lecithin

Lecithin is a type of fat found naturally in many foods that's essential to human health. Some manufacturers add it to food products to improve taste or texture. You can also take it as a supplement or use it to moisturize your skin.
Lecithin is primarily found in soybeans and eggs. It is also present in wheat germ, peanuts, and liver.

The food additive lecithin is made in an industrial process. For example, soy lecithin is created from the combination of soybean oil and hot water. Spinning the mixture rapidly then separates the lecithin.

Lower Cholesterol and Reduced Risk of Heart Disease
Lecithin made from soy reduces "bad" LDL cholesterol and may also raise "good" HDL cholesterol. Less LDL cholesterol can mean less fatty plaque buildup in your arteries and a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, while HDL cholesterol helps to carry away LDL cholesterol and plaque to the liver for processing, reducing the risk of blockages.

Clear Ducts for Breastfeeding
Lecithin may help breastfeeding mothers avoid clogged ducts. This condition can be painful and uncomfortable, and it can cause swelling or redness in the area of the blockage. A blocked breast duct can lead to an infection or mastitis, a condition caused by a backup of milk that makes breastfeeding mothers feel achy and feverish.

Healthy Brain Function
Researchers have been studying whether lecithin — which contains choline, an important nutrient for brain function — can help symptoms of dementia and other memory problems. One study did show significant results. However, the results of other studies and research are inconclusive and show that there is not any benefit to taking lecithin for dementia. Experts have not ruled it out, but more research is needed to determine whether lecithin can help with memory problems.

Healthy Skin
Many skin care and cosmetic products contain lecithin. It works well as a moisturizer, reducing flakiness when applied. Studies show that it is safe to use on the skin in concentrations of up to 15%.
Most people with a soy allergy are allergic to soy proteins. Experts say there are no soy proteins in soy lecithin, but those with an allergy to soy may still want to avoid it. If the source of lecithin is not labeled on a food product, you may need to contact the manufacturer or avoid the product altogether to avoid an allergic reaction.

Digestive Problems
Lecithin may cause some minor digestive side effects, including stomach aches and diarrhea. Additionally, as with any supplement, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should contact a medical professional before taking any supplements that contain lecithin.

Amounts and Dosage
There is no officially recommended dosage for lecithin. Some sources say to take 1,200 milligrams or 1 tablespoon four times per day for a clogged milk duct. Others say to take 300 milligrams two or three times a day for general health benefits. Each lecithin supplement — whether it's in the form of a capsule, powder, or liquid — should have instructions for dosage, so you should follow the manufacturer's directions found on the packaging.

Top Types of Lecithin

Not all lecithin is the same. Here are the most popular varieties.

Soy lecithin
Soy lecithin comes from (you guessed it) soybeans. It's a popular additive in:
● Dairy products
● Infant formulas
● Margarine
● Breads
● Fast food
You can also find it in a lot of skin products.

Sunflower lecithin
Sunflower lecithin is made from dehydrated sunflowers. It's not as common as soy lecithin, but some peeps prefer it. It might be a better choice if you want to avoid GMOs.
Another bonus is that you can buy it as a powder or liquid.

Lecithin granules
Lecithin granules are usually made from soy. It has a tender texture and a mild nutty flavor. Pro tip: Sneak some into homemade bread or sprinkle it on salads.

How To Choose the Best Lecithin Granules?

The biggest reason behind the commercial popularity of lecithin is its contents of various phospholipids and fatty acids and their different medicinal and commercial applications. Lecithin can be sourced in various forms including granulated, powdered, and liquid.

Regardless of its form, lecithin retains its phospholipid contents. Albeit, the amount of those phospholipids can vary depending on lecithin's form. Lecithin can be acquired from various natural resources like:
● Egg yolks
● Soy
● bAnimal Fat
● Sunflower
Among these, Soy is most commonly used to extract lecithin. And, among all its forms, granules are most used commercially in the food industry. It is best for cooking and baking but not the best choice for an emulsifier due to its granular appearance. To get that granulated appearance, powder and oil lecithin are combined.

The reason it is used in the food industry is that granulated lecithin has fewer calories and it has higher choline contents that boost mental functions. Granulated lecithin is also considered a low-risk and pocket-friendly dietary supplement.

How to Choose the Best Lecithin Granules?
Lecithin Granules are available in different textures and flavours in the market. However, to choose the best lecithin Granules, look for the following characteristics:

Source
The original source which the lecithin was extracted from is crucial. As already shared, the primary source of lecithin granules is soybeans. Nevertheless, soy lecithin is known to carry allergens. Therefore, where available, our advice is to go for lecithin granules that come from sunflowers as it is completely natural and chemical-free. Soy lecithin granules are the next best choice.

Purity
Purity is a major issue, especially if you consider the fact that lecithin granules are used in food products. Since GMO soybeans are mass-produced, they may also contain traces of pesticides. So, it's better to look for lecithin granules that are GMO-free and certified by recognised and reputed food and drug authority organisations.

Additives
Originally, lecithin granules have a nutty flavour. But, when it is used as a supplement some flavouring is added to improve its sensory properties. The most common additives are:

Coenzyme Q10: Helps Produce Energy
Kelp: Contains a high concentration of Amino acids and iodine.

TCP (Tri Calcium Phosphate): Inhibits the Clumping of Granules
Some granules may also have added B vitamins such as B6 and B12. When sourcing lecithin for commercial use, make sure to ask the supplier about any additives already mixed in the packaging.

The Uses of Lecithin Granules
Depending on the industry it is being acquired for, lecithin granules can have varying uses. For instance, in baking, granulated lecithin can be used as a conditioner for doughs.

Since Dough is made up of some liquid ingredients, granulated lecithin would be helpful while mixing dough. Simply dissolve half or one teaspoon of lecithin granules in the liquid components. After dissolving, proceed to mix the dough as usual.

For those who produce vegan-friendly products, medicinal or food, plant-based lecithin granules from soy or sunflower are recommended.

Also, granules are not easily soluble. Hence, their main application remains solely industrial. But, they are being consumed as a dietary supplement, we suggest you get some from retail markets instead of reaching out to any industrial lecithin supplier. Because, lecithin granules, directly from a supplier, are manufactured for industrial use, not direct consumption.

Lecithin Powder vs. Granules, What's the Difference?
Soy lecithin powder, as opposed to soy lecithin granules, is processed in such a manner that more of the soybean oil is removed, making it less coarse and less fatty.

While powdered lecithin is easy to consume, it often provides less than accurate dosing. The only difference here is that if you want some health benefits from fat, it may not give them to you, because powdered lecithin does not have high-fat contents.

This is just a simple comparison between powdered and granulated lecithin. We have also done a detailed comparison between liquid and powdered lecithin. Do check it out if you are interested.

Conclusion
Lecithin granules, in general, have various uses. It can be a supplement as it provides numerous health benefits. Its industrial applications can be many. It is more commonly used in the baking industry but also has limited pharmaceutical applications. The concentration of lecithin in the granular form is higher.

Lecithin Work Well With Other Ingredients

It's tough to work with lecithin as an emulsifier. The problem is that in both water and oil, it takes a long time to dissolve. Grinding aids in the dissolution of lecithin granules. You can use liquid lecithin immediately away.

Oil should be used to dissolve lecithin.

Despite the fact that lecithin may be dissolved in both oil and water, I prefer to do it in the former. I tried a variety of methods for creating lecithin creams. It's a lot easier to get the right result if you dissolve the lecithin in oil first, then add the liquid. A lot of whipping is required to make the emulsion. It is suggested that you use a (electric) mixer.

Boiling water is the best option for Lecithin emulsified creams.

Lecithin is a delicate emulsifier that doesn't always get along. I was able to dissolve the emulsion by just adding a few drops of preservative to it.

Lecithin is used in a number of cosmetics due to its emulsifying capabilities. On the other hand, lecithin has numerous skin-care benefits. On the other hand, the relevance of lecithin is rarely emphasised. Lecithin works best in creams that include a lot of oil.

It's commonly combined with thickeners and emulsifiers. When additional emulsifiers and thickeners are added to lecithin, the emulsion becomes more stable. In nourishing creams, lecithin is a good component. Lecithin works best as an emulsifier in mixtures with equal amounts of oil and water.

You won't be able to make a light cream with lecithin unless you utilise other emulsifiers. Lecithin can also be mixed with beeswax or vegetable butter. This improves product stability organically while avoiding the use of chemicals.
