The role of lecithin

Phospholipids are important substances that make up biological cell membranes.
Cell membranes have important physiological functions for organisms, such as controlling cell metabolism, heat generation and transfer between cells, information conduction, resistance to external aggression, and their own repair capabilities, etc.
Phospholipids also have the function of promoting lipid metabolism and transport and ensuring smooth blood vessels. Many biochemical metabolic activities in animals are inseparable from the participation of enzymes, and the activities of many enzymes on cell membranes are closely related to phospholipids. Sufficient phospholipids are one of the basic material guarantees for maintaining enzyme activity.
Summary: If the organism itself is a tall building, cells are bricks one by one. Different cells have different functions and perform their own duties. Phospholipids are the raw materials for making "bricks".

Components of lecithin

Phospholipids refer to fatty substances containing phosphate groups in their molecular structure, so they are also called lipids.
It is widely found in all animal and plant organisms in nature, such as in egg yolks, rapeseeds, soybeans, sunflowers and certain grains. It is also found in the brains and livers of animals and humans.
There are many kinds of phospholipids, such as cephalin, lecithin, inositol phospholipids, lysophospholipids, etc.
Phospholipids come from different sources and have different compositions
Soy phospholipids mainly contain phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidyl inositol and phosphatidylserine.
The main component of egg yolk lecithin is phosphatidylcholine.
Summary: Soy lecithin contains the main component of lecithin: phosphatidylcholine. From the composition point of view, it is wrong to simply say that soy lecithin is not as effective as egg yolk lecithin. Because they are actually the same~ (Soy phospholipids have more varieties than lecithin~)

The effects of lecithin on dogs

are useful, specifically in promoting hair growth and enhancing immunity.
As mentioned above, phospholipids are an important component of cell membranes. Hair is made of keratin cells. On the premise of adequate protein intake, giving dogs phospholipid products can promote their hair growth. Not to mention enhancing immunity, lecithin alone is not enough. Sufficient protein and vitamins are also important.

Situations when it is suitable for dogs to eat lecithin

Moulting season, dogs with skin diseases, fragile skin prone to illness, worrying fur health, shaved dogs, obesity It is applicable to dogs, dogs with fatty liver, elderly dogs, etc.

Do dogs have to eat lecithin?

No, lecithin, like all health products, is not necessary. It should be based on needs. As mentioned above, it is not only lecithin that determines the quality of dog hair, but more importantly, sufficient protein and vitamins. Therefore, high-quality dog ​​food is greater than any health products. Feed your dog good food, you don’t have to feed itOr feed these things selectively.

Fat dogs can also eat lecithin

Eating lecithin for fat dogs can help protect the liver, but it is recommended to choose lecithin products in the form of capsules, after all, the amount is small, although it is Grease but only a little bit. If you choose solids, you may add extra calories.

Dogs cannot eat human lecithin

There is a big difference in body size between humans and dogs. The dosage of human health care products is too high for dogs, and it is difficult to control even if it is given. It would be bad if it causes poisoning or other problems.
