Soybean Lecithin Powder made with no filler or additives. A natural phospholipid which is partially water soluble. An emulsifying agent that helps hold fat & water together. It is often used in foods like cheese, dressings, spreads & chocolate. Lecithin & its primary component, choline, are believed to play essential roles in: cardiovascular health, liver & cell function, fat transport, reproduction & child development, physical performance during endurance activities, & cell-to-cell communications. Lecithin is the main source of choline in the diet. The richest sources of lecithin (eggs & organ meat) also tend to be high in fat and cholesterol. Lecithin is the best and most bio-available way to get choline. Taking granular lecithin provides a "timed release" form of choline, raising blood choline levels higher and for longer periods of time than equivalent amounts of choline chloride.
