When is lecithin usually included in the diet and does it make sense to take it with a regular diet? — Swanson Sunflower Lecithin 1200 mg, N90 - SWANSON

The card gives no situations in which the supplement is taken and no data on whether it is needed with a regular diet. According to the description, this is a food supplement with sunflower lecithin (1200 mg per softgel, 90 capsules), a source of phosphatidylcholine. The supplement does not replace a complete and varied diet; a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important. According to the card, the supplement is intended for adults only.

General information (not a manufacturer's claim): lecithin is found in small amounts in eggs, seeds, nuts and legumes, so with a varied diet taking extra is a matter of personal choice, not necessity. If you take medicines or have a medical condition, and also during pregnancy and breastfeeding, consult a doctor before taking it (this is also stated on the card).
