Soya Lecithin

Feature Summary

All cells throughout the human body are enveloped by membrane composed chiefly of essential fatty acids in the form of compounds known as "phospholipids." The major phospholipid of the human body is phosphatidylcholine. Commercially available phosphatidylcholine preparations are derived from soy lecithin. These preparations are used in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, bipolar depression, elevated cholesterol levels, and liver disorders. The beneficial effects are likely due primarily to the essential fatty acid components of phosphatidylcholine and lecithin preparations.

Add Soya Lecithin to your routine to improve liver function, aid the digestion of fat, help protect arteries from cholesterol buildup and prevent the formation of kidney stones and gallstones.

Safe

Take 1 to 2 tablespoons per day or as directed by a health care practitioner. Keep out of the reach of children.

Contraindications

• Lecithin or phosphatidylcholine is not indicated in patients with depression (unipolar or clinical depression) unless under the supervision of a health care practitioner as high dosage phosphatidylcholine supplementation has been shown to worsen depression in some cases.
• Lecithin (phosphatidylcholine) is generally well-tolerated.
• At higher dosages (i.e. greater than 10 grams) lecithin preparations may cause a reduced appetite, nausea, abdominal bloating, gastrointestinal pain and diarrhea.
