How should I take lecithin?


The use of lecithin in cultural and traditional settings may differ from concepts accepted by current Western medicine. When considering the use of herbal supplements, consultation with a primary health care professional is advisable. Additionally, consultation with a practitioner trained in the uses of herbal/health supplements may be beneficial, and coordination of treatment among all health care providers involved may be advantageous.

If you choose to use lecithin, use it as directed on the package or as directed by your doctor, pharmacist, or other health care provider.

Standardized extracts, tinctures, and solid formulations of herbal/health supplements may provide a more reliable dose of the product.

Lecithin is available in pill, granule, paste, and liquid formulations. Other formulations may also be available.
  • Do not take more of this product than is directed.
  • Do not use different formulations (e.g., tablets, liquid, and others) of lecithin at the same time,unless specifically directed to do so by a health care professional. Using different formulations together increases the risk of an overdose of lecithin.

Store lecithin as directed on the package. In general, lecithin should be protected from light and moisture.
