Features & Benefits

Product Benefits

EcovaPure™ PL-50 is an egg yolk lecithin that comes in a liquid/paste and contains a minimum of 50% phospholipids. Egg phospholipids offer a wide variety of health benefits when ingested in nutraceutical supplements or health food products. Egg-derived phospholipids contain approximately 84% phosphatidylcholine (PC), which is an excellent source of the choline and phosphorous needed by the body. Choline is recognized by Health Canada as supporting liver function, and phosphorous is known to support the development and maintenance of bones and teeth, an electrolyte, preventing phosphorous deficiency, and maintaining the body’s ability to metabolize nutrients.

PC is also known to act as an anti-inflammatory, prevent cancer growth, aid in cholesterol reduction, improve learning and memory, and treat liver diseases. There are many health benefits of dietary phospholipids:

  • Anti-inflammatory - found to reduce the development of arthritis; alleviates symptoms of ulcerative colitis and Chron’s disease
  • Cancer-Fighting - shown to reduce the growth of liver and colon cancer cells
  • Improved Cardiovascular Health - reduces blood cholesterol
  • Improved Neurological Performance - improves learning abilities in age-related decline; reverses alcohol-induced brain membrane changes; improves memory
  • Improved Liver Function - reverses alcohol and low-protein-diet induced “fatty liver”

Product Applications
  • Nutraceutical Supplements: Egg phospholipids contain a high percentage of phosphatidylcholine, making it an excellent ingredient in nutraceutical products. Phospholipid (lecithin) pills are already being commercially sold for their health benefits. However, our phospholipids have a higher amount of PC than soy-derived PL and our clean processing technology isolates the PL without any harmful solvents which denature the proteins.
  • Cosmetic Uses: The phospholipids, proteins, and fatty acids in PL-50 give it a unique advantage when used in cosmetics. Can be used in creams and lotions for their emulsification, solubilizer, and wetting agent properties. They can also be used for their linoleic acid which helps keep skin healthy and moisturized, slow the aging process, and improve the skin barrier. It is moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, non-greasy, and can deliver cosmetic active ingredients further into the skin.
  • Functional Food Applications: Egg phospholipids can be added to health and sports products to give additional health benefits.
  • In addition, it is also great emulsifier and binder in cosmetics, nutraceuticals, and foods.
