Lecithin is a lipid (fat) that is needed by all of the cells in the body. Lecithin may be helpful in reducing cholesterol, supporting nerve function, improving memory, helping the liver to process fats and treating a variety of women's issues such as fibroids and endometriosis.

Lecithin granules can be sprinkles on cereals and soups or added to juices or breads. It is helpful to take lecithin with meals because it helps in the digestion of fats.
