Lecithin is a
fat that is essential in the cells of the body. It can be found in many foods, including soybeans and egg yolks. Lecithin is taken as a medicine and is also used in the manufacturing of medicines.
Lecithin is used for treating memory disorders such as
dementia and
Alzheimer’s disease. It is also used for treating
gallbladder disease,
liver disease, certain
types of depression,
high cholesterol,
anxiety, and a
skin disease called
eczema.
Some people apply lecithin to the
skin as a moisturizer.
You will often see lecithin as a
food additive. It is used to keep certain ingredients from separating out.
You may also see lecithin as an ingredient in some
eye medicines. It is used to help keep the medicine in contact with the eye’s
cornea.
So, we are all probably correct. I know it's used for better absorption, but jeeze- it's like a miracle drug.
