Now Foods Lecithin – 1200 mg soy lecithin per softgel

Now Foods Lecithin is a food supplement with 1,200 mg of lecithin from non-GMO soy in each softgel. The recommended daily dose is three softgels, which provide 3.6 g of soy lecithin and 500 mg of phosphatidylcholine. The bottle contains 200 softgels, which last for 66 days. Lecithin is a natural mixture of phospholipids found, for example, in soybeans, egg yolk and sunflower seeds. Phosphatidylcholine is the main phospholipid of lecithin. The liquid lecithin is sealed in a soft gelatin capsule that is convenient to swallow and, unlike lecithin granules, needs no measuring or mixing.

What is lecithin?

Lecithin is the general name for fat-like substances, or phospholipids, made up of fatty acids, glycerol, phosphoric acid and a nitrogen-containing part such as choline. Thanks to this structure, lecithin binds to both water and fat, and the food industry uses it as an emulsifier, for example in chocolate and margarine. In this product, the lecithin is obtained from non-GMO soy and naturally contains phosphatidylcholine: three softgels provide 500 mg. According to NOW Foods, the lecithin also naturally contains other phospholipids, inositol and polyunsaturated fatty acids.

How to use?

Take 3 softgels a day and swallow them whole with a glass of water or another drink. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. If you also use other products containing lecithin or phospholipids, take their amount into account. After opening, close the bottle tightly and store it in a cool, dry place out of reach of children.
