Elixir for life LECITHIN:

In former times chicken eggs were considered to bet he only source of lecithin. This lecithin - gained from egg yolk – spoiled very quickly and decomposed when subjected to air and warmth. In the meantime the side effects of cholesterol are well known

Nowadays high quality lecithin is gained from soy beans without any of the disturbing side effects.

Especially Prof. Dr. Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy is to be thanked for having discovered the essential characteristics of lecithin.

Our whole human organism needs lecithin to survive, i.e. to dissolve fat and cholesterol. So lecithin protects against arteriosclerosis.  A healthy heart and resilient arteries are the best requirements for a long and healthy life. Lecithin plays a very important role in achieving this.

Lecithin also plays an important role in our metabolism. It prevents any surplus fat being stored in our cells.

With Vegan Star you can make rich soy drinks with natural lecithin.

The most important vegetable lecithin sources:

Seeds, nuts, grain, unrefined seed oils, pulses –especially soy beans - green vegetables cereal bran and brewers' yeast.

Even animal products contain lecithin: It is especially present in offal such as liver, sweetbreads, kidney and heart.

Lecithin robbers:
Coffee and tea, sulphurous medication, alcohol.

How much lecithin does a person need?

A tablespoon of soy lecithin (about 7,5 grams) supplies the body with the necessary amount of lecithin.

Vegetarians and above all vegans have an increased need of lecithin. This also applies to people with weak nervous constitutions, especially when they are subjected to stress, people with poor digestion and also the elderly.

Our advice: make your own soy drinks at home with our Vegan star and enjoy healthy drinks!

Lecithin for looking good:

Beautiful, smooth and youthful-looking skin as well as full, healthy and shiny hair is all due to inside and outside influences. A vitamin A deficiency results in dry skin and hair and lets them appear scaly and tired. It is interesting to see the effect the vitamin A contained in lecithin has on both skin and hair. That is why so many skin creams, soaps, shampoos and lotions have lecithin as an essential component. This also applies to whole series of products for daily care of skin and hair.

Lecithin helps the skin to breathe – due to its ability to transport the all so vital oxygen directly to the skin cells. When your skin can breathe properly, its colouring and structure are improved, which gives your skin a youthful look.

PROTEIN-INHIBITORS
TRYPSIN-Inhibitors and what you need to know about them:

These are contained in many types of vegetable plants, above all in beans but also in peas, beets, potatoes, garden peas and peanuts. Soy beans contain at least 5 types of protein inhibitors – however mainly trypsin inhibitors, which are present in plants in a naturally poisonous form.
Trypsin is one of the main enzymes for protein digestion and is produced in the pancreas. Consumption of raw germinated pulses or grain causes an increase in trypsin excretion. This can cause an abnormal enlargement of the pancreas,
