= Lecithin Recommendation =

According to the section before, lecithin has many benefits but also it can be bad to our body if it is consumed too much. So, to prevent this, don’t eat too much lecithin. We have to eat what we choose, and choose what we eat. And we have to consider the bad and the goods before we choose.

How Much Lecithin Can I Eat in a Day
In all honesty you can get all the lecithin you need in your daily intake of foods, provided your diet contains any of the lecithin-rich snacks such as soybeans, eggs, liver, whole grains and milk. If you want the polyunsaturated varieties of lecithin, stick to soy, egg and wholegrain sources since animal derived sources (liver, brains, kidneys) are of the saturated fat variety. For those who don’t eat enough of the lecithin containing food groups or for elderly people looking to boost their lecithin intake, around 8 grams of lecithin granules sprinkled onto a fruit salad or blended in a smoothie will ensure that you are getting the benefits and not overdoing it. It’s preferable that you have the lecithin granules rather than the capsules, since the powdering of capsule ingredients usually compromises the quality of the product and reduces effectiveness. And remember, not all supplements were created alike! Look for granular lecithin that has 98 percent or more phosphatidylcholine content, so you know that you are getting the real deal and not a watered down version that might be cheaper but it’ll be doing less for you.
