An affordable lecithin supplement that offers an indirect choline source for general health, but low on direct cognitive impact.
Quantity: 280
Carlson Lecithin 1200 mg (100 servings) is a softgel supplement that provides a significant dose of lecithin. Lecithin is rich in phospholipids, including phosphatidylcholine, which is vital for cell membrane structure and as a precursor to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Although the product directly lists 22mg of choline, its main utility for choline comes from the larger lecithin dose. This product is very budget-friendly and serves well for maintaining general cellular health, supporting liver function, and aiding in fat metabolism. However, for direct and substantial cognitive support or mental focus, products with higher concentrations of bioavailable choline or specific nootropics like Phosphatidyl Serine would be more effective.
- Highly cost-effective source of lecithin.
- Supports general cellular health, particularly brain cell membranes.
- Aids in fat metabolism and liver function.
- Direct choline content (22mg) is too low for significant targeted cognitive benefits.
- Lecithin's effect on acute cognitive performance is less direct compared to other choline forms.
- Less effective for specific, immediate cognitive enhancement.
- Individuals with soy allergies should verify the source of lecithin if not specified.

Categories
Choline 70.0
As an indirect source of choline via lecithin, this product offers a cost-effective way to contribute to choline intake. However, with only 22mg of direct choline, it is not as potent as dedicated choline supplements within this collection.
Goals
Metabolism Boost 75.0
Lecithin, particularly its phosphatidylcholine content, plays a significant role in fat metabolism and liver health, making it effective for supporting metabolic processes.
Brain Health 70.0
Lecithin provides foundational phospholipids crucial for brain cell membranes, contributing to overall brain health. Its indirect choline supply also supports neurotransmitter synthesis.
Cognitive Support 65.0
While lecithin provides building blocks for cognitive function, its direct impact on enhancing memory or learning may be less pronounced than more targeted nootropics or higher doses of direct choline sources.
