Essential phospholipids (EPL) are natural components
of human and animal cells forming the outer membrane
that contain them. Without EPL life as we know it
is not possible. A continuous supply of EPL, or its
constituents, is absolutely necessary for human health
and well being.
A natural source for EPL is soy lecithin from which it
is extracted through a rather expensive process. EPL is
particularly rich in Phosphotidyl Choline and Polyunsaturated
fatty acids with linoleic and linolenic fatty acids accounting
for 70% of EPL’s fatty acid content. These are termed
essential fatty acids because they must be taken in with
food since the human body cannot synthesize them. The effects
on the human body by taking EPL as a nutritional supplement
and as a transport mechanism for other supplements are
truly amazing.
Examples of Oral EPL applications:
First and foremost is the effect of EPL on your heart. The risk of developing
heart disease for those who are age 40 and older in the United States is
one in two for men and one in three for women. Also, heart disease is the
leading cause of death for adults worldwide. Public clinical studies performed
by Rhone Poulenc Rorer, a large pharmaceutical company in Europe, for their
EPL product “Lipostabil” *, show that EPL prevents the development
of hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridaemia in doses as little as 300
mg EPL per day. The intake of EPL as a nutritional supplement is a convenient
way to supply your body with the essential fatty acids it needs and to take
advantage of (1) Improved circulation to the heart, brain, feet, hands, etc.
(2) Improves blood flow by inhibiting blood cells and platelet adhesion and
stickiness. (3) Helps heart disease and Angina pain. |
