The product is made and quality tested in the United States by NOW Foods, a family-owned company that has been producing food supplements since 1968.

Lecithin and phosphatidylcholine

Lecithin is a natural mixture of phospholipids found, for example, in soybeans, sunflower seeds and egg yolk. In this product, the lecithin is obtained from non-GMO soybeans. One of the main components of lecithin is phosphatidylcholine – a phospholipid whose molecule contains bound choline. The daily dose of Now Foods Lecithin (3 softgels) contains 500 mg of phosphatidylcholine.

Soy lecithin also naturally contains fatty acids, mainly polyunsaturated ones: three softgels contain 2.5 g of fat, including 2 g of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The energy content of the daily dose is 30 kcal. Lecithin is also familiar as a food ingredient: it is added, for example, to chocolate and margarine, where it is labelled with the E number E322.

How to use?

Take three softgels a day and swallow them with a glass of water. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Taking the softgels at the same time every day helps you remember them. After opening, keep the container in a cool, dry place. At the recommended use, one container lasts 33 days.
