Lecithin

Lecithin is an important source of fatty acids, and it's great for skin and coat conditioning, as it increases the permeability of the cell membrane to help contribute to the complex balance required to maintain the health of your dog's coat, especially those with long histories of dryness with scaling and itching. Over a period of several months, lecithin can help these dogs show improvement. It is an excellent all natural emulsifier that helps the body absorb fatty acids. Lecithin is also great for the liver and helps to boost the immune system.
