NOW Foods Sunflower Lecithin 1200mg (200 Softgels)
by NOW Foods
"1200mg sunflower lecithin with phosphatidylcholine — the soy-free choline source with 14,000+ reviews for brain, liver, and cell membrane support"
Overview
NOW Sunflower Lecithin provides 1200mg of lecithin per softgel derived from sunflower seeds (not soy). Lecithin is a phospholipid complex containing phosphatidylcholine (the body's primary source of choline), phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylethanolamine, and essential fatty acids. Phosphatidylcholine is critical for cell membrane integrity, liver function (fat metabolism), and acetylcholine synthesis (neurotransmitter for memory and muscle control). Sunflower-derived lecithin avoids the soy allergen and GMO concerns associated with soy lecithin. The 200-softgel count provides over 6 months of daily supplementation.
