Summary
Lecithin is a popular supplement, but there are very few sources of non-soy based lecithin as it is typically sourced from soy. Most soy sources are from genetically modified (GM) crops, whereas presently, there are no genetically modified crops of sunflowers. NOW® Sunflower Lecithin has Phosphatidyl Choline, the most abundant phospholipid in the cell membrane. Although phosphatidylcholine phospholipids are present in almost all cells within the body, the highest concentrations may be found in the brain, heart, liver, and kidneys. NOW® Sunflower Lecithin also naturally abounds in Phosphatidyl Inositol, Phosphatidyl Ethanolamine, and essential fatty acids. Lecithin in the diet aids in emulsifying fats, enabling them to be dispersed in water; and as a choline-containing phospholipid, its choline is easily absorbed and utilized by the body. NOW® Sunflower Lecithin Liquid is Non-GMO and Soy-Free and can be taken directly or added to foods, beverages, and health shakes. NOW® natural and organic supplements provide an effective way to ensure individuals receive essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients for optimal health. Since 1968, NOW® has been committed to producing top-quality products that meet the highest standards, empowering people to lead healthier lives. Their promise is simple: what is on the label is exactly what is in the bottle.
