Product Description

Lecithin is an additive that can be sourced from various plant and animal tissues, in particular eggs, milk and sunflower seeds, with soy being one of the most common.

It can be found in many foods, skincare products and even medicines, and often its purpose is to increase the shelf life of products. It also helps to protect the flavour and act as an emulsifier or lubricant, which allows your products to have the right texture and consistency. You can also purchase lecithin supplements which help to support women who are breastfeeding, and it can also assist in treating certain health conditions such as high cholesterol, digestive issues, and even fight against dementia symptoms.

It is likely that you are already consuming soy lecithin or using products that contain it as an ingredient. It's often found in protein powders and many other products, including:-

• dairy products
• bread 
• infant formulas 
• margarine 
• skincare products
• dietary supplements
• ice cream

HOW IS IT MADE AND WHAT IS SOY LECITHIN MADE OF?

Soy lecithin is derived from raw soybeans, where the soybean oil is extracted using a chemical solvent. The soy oil then goes through a process where it is mixed thoroughly with water until the lecithin ingredient becomes hydrated, separating from the oil, and it's then dried. Whilst some people are concerned that during the production of soy lecithin harmful chemicals are used which can remain in the end product, it's important to remember that when soy lecithin is present in our foods and products, it is usually in very minimal amounts-usually no more than 1% of processed foods.
