1. What is Vita Buerlecithin and what is it used for

Vita Buerlecithin is a tonic available in the form of an oral liquid, which contains lecithin and vitamins.
Lecithin is a phospholipid substance obtained from soybeans. It is a rich source of choline, which is a component of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, and thus has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the nervous system and skeletal muscles. Lecithin participates in metabolism, normalizes cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, and prevents cholesterol from accumulating in blood vessel walls.
The B vitamins present in Vita Buerlecithin supplement the daily requirement and support the action of lecithin. They participate in protein, carbohydrate, and fat metabolism, and regulate the functioning of the nervous system.
Sodium D-pantothenate affects the functioning of the digestive tract and the regeneration of epithelial tissue, hair growth, and nail growth.
The effects of Vita Buerlecithin are noticeable after a few days of use. To achieve the proper therapeutic effect, it is recommended to use the medicine for a longer period.

• memory and concentration impairment,
• stress, nervous overexcitement, insomnia,
• physical and mental exhaustion (overwork, exhaustion, rapid fatigue),
