Lecithin

Lecithin—a lipid compound—is found in cell membranes and regulates nutrients entering and leaving cells. Lecithin promotes liver function. An animal study reported in 2011 found a lecithin component reduced liver fat and increased insulin sensitivity in animals with moderate blood sugar issues. Another 2011 study with people showed a lecithin component may be a predictor of heart health concerns. Results are mixed on whether it supports brain health, cognition and memory.
