The choline and phosphatidylcholine are both precursors to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Phosphatidylcholine reacts with pantothenic acid, and choline picks up an acetyl group to form acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is responsible for relaying messages between the two hemispheres through the corpus callosum, and between the brain and the muscles of the body. Lecithin protects cells from oxidation and makes up the protective shield surrounding the brain. It is produced in small amounts by the liver, but only on an adequate diet, which is becoming ever more impossible in today's increasingly hectic environment. Lecithin has been known to improve memory, learning, and reaction time through the synthesis and increased availability of acetylcholine in the brain. It is currently being used to prevent and reverse dementia, improve cognitive functions, and to treat brain disorders like brain damage from stroke. Phosphatidylcholine helps build nerve cell membranes and it facilitates electrical transmission in the brain. It holds membrane proteins in place and is a precursor to Acetylcholine. Robert Atkins, MD, recommended patients not to take large doses of lecithin without Vitamin C (an antioxidant) to protect against the carcinogenic nitrosamines formed from choline metabolism.
