Top Medical Research Studies

We explored the potential of phospholipids derived from n-3 PUFA-enriched egg yolks to alleviate anxiety in rats. In a controlled study, rats were divided into groups receiving either standard chow or chow supplemented with these enriched phospholipids.

After six weeks, we observed that the rats given phospholipids spent more time in the open arms during the elevated plus maze test, suggesting an anxiolytic effect. However, while there was an increase in punished drinking in the Vogel conflict test, overall locomotor activity remained unchanged.

In summary, these findings suggest that phospholipids from enriched egg yolks may reduce anxiety without sedative effects.

Potential stress-reducing benefits of PAS
We investigated how soy lecithin phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylserine (PAS) can help with anxiety during stressful situations. Four groups of 20 participants took different doses of PAS or a placebo for three weeks and then faced a mental stress test. We found that the lowest dose, 400 mg PAS, significantly reduced stress hormone responses and emotional distress after the test. However, the higher doses did not provide the same benefits. These findings hint at the potential of PAS as a helpful tool for managing stress.

We explored how a combination of lecithin, tyrosine, L-glutamine, and 5-HTP impacts anxiety and withdrawal symptoms in detoxified heroin addicts. This study used a well-structured placebo-controlled trial with 83 participants.

Those receiving the supplement reported significant improvements in anxiety levels, mood disturbances, and even sleep quality compared to the control group. Particularly notable were reductions in tension, anger, and fatigue, and boosts in overall activity.

These findings suggest that lecithin may play a beneficial role in addressing anxiety for those in recovery from addiction.

Palpable benefits
We bought this sunflower lecithin on recommendation. I appreciate the quality; it has only two ingredients. Though the capsules are large, my child takes the contents happily. I find the benefits tangible; anxiety and irritation have vanished, and my liver feels better. I prefer to take it without the capsule due to its size and unnecessary additives.

A very good product! After a week of use, my mood is excellent. I feel less prone to stress and anxiety. Generally, I keep quiet about the benefits for my body, but I highly recommend it! My only complaint is the large size of the capsules.

Sharper mind

I really liked how sunflower lecithin made me feel. After 2-3 weeks of taking it, I noticed my brain working sharper, and I was making decisions and finding solutions more quickly. Additionally, my anxiety diminished, leading to a calmer state of mind overall. I took it alongside magnesium citrate, which I believe enhanced its benefits.

Calmer life
I have ADHD, but since I began taking one pill daily, I lead a much calmer life. My tendency to procrastinate has diminished, and I can embark on tasks more promptly, breaking a detrimental pattern. My anxiety and panic have also lessened, making my life significantly easier. I plan to continue taking magnesium.
