How is this different from simple soy lecithin? It seems overpriced for something that sounds like lecithin, what's the diff?

According to internet sources (?) phosphatidylcholine is one of many ingredients in lecithin and is specific to nerve and cell membrane structure. So ppc is targeted towards that. Whether it actually works, I don't know. My husband's doctor recommended it for heart health.

I honestly am not sure about that one....I thought soy was supposed to be a natural and healing property, but have since learned it may not be as safe as touted. I am now curious as well, and hope someone is able to shed more light on this.

In the stores these are $4 - $5 dollar a bag; this brand is anyway, never tried this product. I wondered why the different price for same products? Is it because of different suppliers? Is this soy?

Someone on Maze in a Mirror says this product is no longer organic and is NOT mechanically processed. Someone on that site mentions Lekithos lecithin -- a great product and very pure in powder form. Not cheap, however.

It does state that it uses a soy lecithin as the phospholipids... not wild about that due all soy being GMO. Still looking for the perfect liposomal C. Heard Mercola has one listed but that it is not a true liposomal C. More research required.

After reading the label, carefully scrutinizing for soy or soy derivatives such as soy lecithin, I found no indication of any soy product. Interestingly though, their is no statement made to indicate that this is a soy-free product either. Commonly, a label will state either "Soy-Free" or "Contains Soy". This says neither.

I use a hand held blender to mix mine and it only takes about a minute. This will not separate when using lecithin. When I used ultrasonic cleaners the end product would always separate a little and the uniformity was irregular at best. The blender method is miles ahead of the ultrasonic method. imo

Hi Brittany,On Tera's Whey website's FAQ (http://www.teraswhey.com/faqs.html) they say they reformulated their product to have sunflower lecithin instead of soy lecithin. So if you get one with soy lecithin in it, it's probably old.That being said, they do process their products in a facility that may handle soy-based ingredients, which they disclose on their label. Hope it helps!~Heather

I assume it's the same quality as the smaller container. I've used it for a couple of years and it's my favorite non-GMO lecithin.

When I purchased it , it had the soy based lecithin I haven't purchased it recently though so it may be the new mix now

Yes there are non-soy liquid lecithins sunflower is one. The granules form I am not positive but do a search here on Amazon. Just put in granule lecithin and see if one comes up. If not try not soy lecithins. Also google these searches or other search engines to help you run down the product you are looking for.

There is no difference. My previous purchase of this product cost $23.97 for a pack of 3. Now the price by this vendor, which was originally supplied directly from Amazon is now $40.99. It has almost doubled. What a shame! I originally started to use it to make cat food for my Mr. Pumpkin before he died of lymphoma. Now I use it along with omega 3 oil capsules to keep a feral colony of cats on an increased fat diet for the winter. They love the oil and are all doing so well on it! Hope this helps!

The container says: Ingredients: Soy Lecithin Granules.The assumption is that since no other ingredient is listed it must be 100% I have been using it for many years.

Hi Desiree -- Yes, my bottle of Lecithin shows that it has the Soy component as well. I've had the same kind of Granular Lecithin for about the past 5 years or so and it's worked great for me. As for the Sunflower Lecithin, I don't really know what to say about it, because I don't believe I've ever had it. I think I should investigate this myself. Who knows, I might like it myself. Sorry I can't be of much help to you. Good luck!!Judy G.

The protein is 100% whey based but there is a small % (most likely less than 1 - 2%) of soy lecithin as an emulsifier. Since lecithin is a highly refined ingredient there is little to no protein left so it is an incidental ingredient. If it is an allergen concern, recommendation is to avoid. If you are not concerned about allergen, this is an excellent product.

Soy Lecithin which is the ingredient on the label is a by product derived from soy beans. I hope this answers the question.
