Fruits and vegetables are generally very low in lecithin. Lecithin itself contains no cholesterol. Concerns over dairy products and animal fats are legitimate. Many health experts urge the adult population to cut back on the foods that contain the highest levels of lecithin. Eggs, for example, are a good source of lecithin, being roughly the equivalent of one tablespoon of soy lecithin granules.
Granules are a pleasant-tasting, concentrated way to supplement.
One tablespoon of lecithin granules contains about 250 mg of choline, about half the daily recommended intake for men and women. Let's compare the number of 'servings' of capsules to one tablespoon of lecithin granules. These are the most common forms available. They can be added to beverages, sprinkled on granola, cottage cheese or yogurt, mixed into salads or fruits, or just eat them by the spoonful. Lecithin is one of the least expensive supplements on the shelf.
