Lecithin is an additive and an essential ingredient in many processed foods. It functions as a wetting agent, emulsifier, release agent, and antioxidant in a variety of applications and has anti-spatter, anti-stick, and viscosity reduction properties. Lecithin has a bland flavor and low odor; when combined with other ingredients their flavors are not influenced by its addition. Usage of lecithin in product formulas promotes uniform suspension of ingredients and increases moisture retention, aiding preparation while increasing durability and shelf life. Lecithin is found in dietary supplements, ice cream, and dairy products, bread, margarine, and other convenience foods. In other words, you’re already consuming lecithin, whether you realize it or not. It’s usually included in such small amounts, it isn’t something to be too concerned about.

Benefits & Uses
Soothes and moisturizes skin
Lecithin is in the ingredients of some skincare products. It’s used as an emollient, making skin feel smooth by restoring hydration. In most of these products, the kind of lecithin used is called hydrogenated lecithin.
Taking lecithin could help your skin since it tones and stimulates other parts of your body.
Could help with digestion
Lecithin has been tested in people with ulcerative colitis to help their digestion. Lecithin’s emulsifying qualities contribute to a chain reaction that helps the mucus in your intestine, making the digestive process easier and protecting the delicate lining of your digestive system.
Even if you don’t have ulcerative colitis, you might want to consider using lecithin if you have irritable bowel syndrome or another condition that affects your digestive process.
Takeaway
