Question 1

i take lecithin on my own for my nervous system but is expired is it going to work for me, how long does it take for me to feel better?

Accepted Answer

: The benefit of lecithin for nervous system is still controversial and you also used an expired product so I do not think we can answer your question at all.

Question 2

does lecithin works after expired date?

Accepted Answer

: What do you expect lecithin to do?
Did a doctor prescribe it?
It is unlikely that even unexpired Lecithin will do you any good,
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.

Question 3

could lecithin be used for gall stones?

Accepted Answer

IT won't help: If gallstones don't bother you, nothing needs to be done. If you're having biliary colic and fatty food intolerance, you need to have the gb removed. Lecithin will have no benefit in either situation. Good luck.

Question 4

can i use lecithin to cleanse my gallbladder?

Accepted Answer

Waste of time: Gallbladders empty whenever you eat, at least partially. Nothing will "cleanse" your gallbladder--stones mostly stay put and there are no toxins building up.

Question 5

i know lecithin contain choline - but how much?

Accepted Answer

It depends: Lecithin supplements contain varying amounts of choline. It depends on the specific brand of lecithin.

Question 6

what is lecithin and does it have health benefits?

Accepted Answer

It is a fat: It is used for many purposes including those outside of medicine. It is used as a food additives to make sure ingredients stay mixed. It is used as a skin moisturizer. Health-wise it is used to address fat accumulation in the liver, memory issues such as in the case of various dementias, high cholesterol and skin issues. Unfortunately there isn't a lot of research in regards to its effectiveness

Question 7

can lecithin and omega guard help me improve my ability to study?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: This is the big question that scientists  have been pondering on for several years.  There is some good evidence to show fish oils (or more specifically omega-3 oil) can improve learning and behaviour &amp; lecithin helps the body digest and utilize the fats and oils that are critical in maintaining efficient brain and nerve function. but we need more scientific research
on this area.

Question 8

4 wks pregnet.why is it bad to take soy lecithin if iam having a boy? what do estogen levels have anything to do with that? is soy lecithin capsuls ok

Accepted Answer

Stay safe: avoid: No hard scientific evidence is available or known about the use of lecithin during pregnancy. Many would be very conservative and say to avoid supplementation during pregnancy. Discuss use of this and other supplements with your OB. I wouldn't worry about the soy intake and association with phytoestrogen-endocrine disruption.

Question 9

compare and contrast soy lecithin vs soy protein?

Accepted Answer

Big difference!: Lecithin is a generic term to designate any group of yellow-brownish fatty substances occurring in animal and plant tissues composed of phosphoric acid, choline, fatty acids, glycerol, and triglycerides. An example-spray on pam! soy protein is prtein derived from soy, and contains Amino Acids necessary for life!

Question 10

can one with a soy allergy be treated with soy lecithin to build an immunity?

Accepted Answer

No : Lecithin is fat and contains no soy protein. Generally people allergic to soy protein can eat soy lecithin without fear on an allergic reaction. There is no evidence that eating soy lecithin creates tolerance to soy protein. Sorry. Great question.
