Lecithin
Lecithin - Type of lipid needed by every living cell in the body. Regulates the passage of nutrients in to and out of cells. Sheathes surrounding the brain are composed of lecithin, muscle and nerve cells also contain this essential fatty acid. Acts as an emulsifying agent. May enable fats such as cholesterol and other lipids to be dispersed in water bad removed from the body. May prevent fatty buildups.
Lemon Bioflavanoids
Lemon Bioflavanoids - Bioflavonoids have been found to support health as antihistamine and antiviral agents. They act as antifundamentalist, promoting the relaxation of arteries' smooth muscles. They also appear to prevent platelets from sticking to artery walls. They help protect tissue from oxidative stress. Source: The white part of a lemon peel.
