Gut Microbiota and Your Health (5)
Commonly seen probiotics include Lactobacilli, Bifidobacteria, Lactococci, Streptococci and yeast. Food like yogurt, cheese, kimchi or miso also contains a small amount of probiotics. To maintain the effect on the GI system, most studies recommended taking probiotics daily. Probiotics needs fiber and oligosaccharides (multi-branched, long-chained sugars) for growth and B vitamins are also important to help the good bacteria grow better and thrive in our bodies.

Dementia-Identification and Treatment (4)
Function of Lecithin
I. Cell Membrane Structure Protection
The main component in lecithin is phospholipid, a major building block for all cell membranes.
II. Nervous System Protection
Another major component in lecithin, Choline, is an important precursor for neurotransmitter.
III. Liver Protection
Clinical research showed that phosphatidylcholine from lecithin has protective effect to liver.
IV. Lower Blood Lipid/Cholesterol
Phospholipid in lecithin, has both hydrophilic (attracted to water) and hydrophobic (repels water) characteristics, which helps fluid (and electrolyte) transport across the cell membrane, and aids in fat metabolism.
