In a randomized trial, we examined if MEDI6012, a recombinant human lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase, could help patients experiencing acute heart attacks. The study involved 120 patients who received either the lecithin treatment or a placebo.
After 12 weeks, we found that there was no significant reduction in heart muscle damage or plaque volume in those treated with MEDI6012 compared to the placebo group. However, the treatment was generally well tolerated without major safety concerns.

We explored how lecithin-conjugated superoxide dismutase (SOD) could help reduce heart damage caused by prolonged lack of blood flow. In our study, rats underwent a coronary occlusion for 24 hours, and we compared the effects of lecithinized SOD to unmodified SOD and other treatments.
We found that lecithinized SOD significantly decreased the area of heart damage and preserved heart cells from death. This treatment shows promise for protecting heart tissue during ischemic events, thanks to its enhanced stability and affinity for heart cell membranes.

We explored whether lecithinized superoxide dismutase (SOD) could help reduce heart damage caused by ischemia-reperfusion injuries in rats. Through a controlled study, rats experienced a period of blocked blood flow followed by reperfusion. The group treated with lecithinized SOD showed smaller areas of heart damage compared to other treatments. Although all groups had similar heart rates and blood pressure, the lecithinized SOD maintained higher levels in the heart, suggesting it has a protective benefit. However, the overall effectiveness in human heart attack scenarios remains uncertain.

Boosts immunity

We get this for our dad as sunflower lecithin supports heart and liver functions, boosts immunity, and protects the brain. He seems to be in excellent heart health and has not had flu, likely due to this supplement despite not leading a healthy lifestyle.

Wonderful! This lecithin significantly aids my liver and heart. I take it twice a year and notice tangible benefits in my health. The quality is superb and the natural ingredients are a plus. The dosage on the package is easily manageable. The results from my health tests were encouraging. I recommend it to anyone who prioritises their health, especially for liver care.

We explored the effectiveness of recombinant LCAT, a lecithin-related enzyme, in improving heart health following a heart attack. In a study with thirty patients, we measured LCAT levels and found that they decrease during acute coronary syndrome, which hampers HDL's ability to support endothelial function. Remarkably, when we added recombinant human LCAT to the patients' plasma in the lab, it restored HDL’s function to improve nitric oxide production in endothelial cells. This suggests that targeting LCAT could be a promising avenue for enhancing heart health after a heart attack.

We explored a new nanovesicle system designed for quick sublingual delivery of sodium tanshinone IIA sulfonate (STS). This formulation, which included soybean lecithin, propylene glycol, and penetration enhancers, demonstrated significant improvements in drug absorption rates—up to 235.8 times better than traditional methods.
In animal studies, we observed that administering STS via this system quickly alleviated symptoms of acute myocardial infarction, reducing heart damage and improving key health markers within just five minutes. Overall, this innovative delivery approach shows promise for fast-acting treatment options.

We explored how T-0162, a new free radical scavenger, could impact heart attack damage. In our study with rabbits, we compared three groups: one received lecithin, another was pre-treated with T-0162, and the last got T-0162 after a heart attack.
Our findings showed that T-0162 significantly decreased heart muscle damage after a heart attack when compared to the control group, while lecithin alone did not provide similar efficacy. Overall, T-0162 appears promising for reducing heart damage during reperfusion injury.

Health improvement
The husband took this lecithin for three months. Initially, no effects were observed. However, over time it became evident; cholesterol levels decreased, health improved, and pain in my heart area vanished. Additionally, irritability reduced, and memory enhanced. I attribute these favourable changes to lecithin.

I've been taking lecithin for a few months for both brain and heart health, and I've noticed a significant difference! My memory is sharper and my energy levels have improved, along with no side effects. It's great for liver support. I highly recommend it for a wellness boost!

No noticeable effect
I haven't noticed any effects after consuming half the bottle. The capsules are quite large, making them difficult to swallow. I hope to see some benefits soon. Thanks for reading my review!

Lowers cholesterol
Sunflower seed lecithin effectively lowers cholesterol, reducing the risk of heart disease. Nutrition experts advise a daily intake of 1,200 milligrams for optimal nerve, brain, and muscle health.

Heart muscle support
The capsules are large and should be taken upright with ample water. I take one daily post-meal. This product has assisted in lowering my cholesterol and clearing arterial plaque, while also strengthening my heart muscle. Their vitamins have consistently proven to be of good quality as we have used them for many years.
