The liquid lecithin is enclosed in a soft gel capsule that is easy to swallow and dose.

What is sunflower lecithin?

Lecithin is a natural mixture of fat-like substances, or phospholipids, found in many plants and animal foods. In the food industry lecithin is used as an emulsifier, because it helps fat and water to mix. Sunflower lecithin is obtained from sunflower seeds. According to NOW Foods, sunflower lecithin naturally contains phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylethanolamine and essential fatty acids. Of these, phosphatidylcholine is the most abundant – two softgels contain 360 mg of it. Extra virgin olive oil is also used in the capsule fill. Because of natural raw materials, the colour of the capsule contents may vary slightly from batch to batch, which does not affect product quality.

How to use?

Take two softgels a day with food. Swallow the softgels 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.
