Description
Lecithin, as it is marketed, is mainly a mixture of fatty acids, which are combined with phosphorus and, possibly, with other substances. The mixture is called phospholipids or phosphatides. This mixture is dominated by phosphatidylcholine choline, which consists of about 15% choline. Thus, the properties of choline are to a significant extent the properties of lecithin, and vice versa.
Lecithin in liquid form or in capsules contains a large percentage of oil (usually soybean oil). Granular lecithin contains very little or no oil. The lower the percentage of oil and the higher the percentage of phosphatides, the higher the quality of lecithin. Lecithin is a structural component of cell membranes, increasing their fluidity and participating in the process of repairing their damage.
