Update: I continue to take a lecithin capsule 2x a day (lunch and dinner). On the days I get lazy and don't take lecithin, I can absolutely feel the difference in brain function. I think taking lecithin daily helps me stay very focused and "on task"Replied By Deirdre (Atlanta, GA) on 05/13/2009
My lecithin update: Unfortunately I had to stop taking lecithin last week due to terrible bloating and weight gain side effects! It's the soy!!! Since all supplemental forms of lecithin are made from soy beans, I guess I am going to have to start eating more egg yolks. Apparently a slightly cooked egg (soft boiled) is another good source of lecithin.Replied By T (Maryland, USA) on 05/14/2009
Don't forget the humble dandelion! It's a great source of lecithin, and easy enough to take in capsules.
EC: Thank you T, good to know!!

Actually, you can find egg-yolk lecithin in capsule form at your local independent health food store (I checked whole foods, they didn't have it). The brand is the one with the yellow label and green writing... Contains a fraction of the cholesterol in an egg yolk--worth checking out! I open the capsules and empty the contents into smoothies, or use them to aid in making raw nut milks.Replied By Anne (New London, Mn Usa) on 07/05/2010
Sunflower seeds are a great source for lecithin. I just got some raw S.F. Lecithin- it is WAY better than soy.Replied By Anon (Usa) on 11/30/2017
Search "antibacterial egg white". Apparently egg whites have antibacterial properties.
