Lecithin For Alzheimer's Disease


    Choline is converted into acetylcholine,which brain cells use to transmit nerve messages. Lecithin is a rich dietary source of choline. In theory, lecithin should be good for alzheimer patients, who lack acetylcholine in their brains. However, studies have found no favorable effects of lecithin on cognition in alzheimer patients. A systemic review of all lecithin studies by the Cochrane Review concludes that lecithin is of no benefit for alzheimer patients [106].
