Is the lecithin from NON-GMO SUNFLOWERS? What is the shelf-life?

It is non- GMO. I sent an email to the company and received a reply that they do NOT use GMO lecithin.

Guess I should have itemized my query more clearly. Thanks for your kind reply. Still would like to know:1. Is it sunflower lecithin? I don't want soy. And 2. What is the shelf life?

Not sure of GMO, but it really helps me and my family. Store in a cool place. Order from high volume seller so fresher and use within 6 months. IMHO

Dr. Dave, I do believe that this product line uses any GMO in any of their products. personally use the lypo-spheric vitamin C, it 50 States non GMO. As far as shelf life I'm not sure. I use mine as soon as I get it. I use it everyday

Dear Nimet,I have bought this (it was recommended by a holistic healer). The Nutrient Tree website boldly advertises this as Non-GMO and Non-Soy. As mentioned in the sellers notes on Amazon, the bottle says it contains Phosphatidylcholine (from non-GMO sunflower oil), and non-GMO oleic acid. Other ingredients are Vitamin C from ascorbic acid and sodium ascorbate, sodium, purified water, natural flavors and potassium sorbate. I think you are safe here.

I know there is no stevia in it, as I would be able to taste it. I highly doubt there is any sunflower lecithin in it, as this product goes basically from the cow to the container; nothing added in the process.

The jar indicates the following: non-GMO, hexane/free, unrefined, raw, non-bleachd an no hydrogenated fat. Hope ths helps.

Very little soy. It contains less than 1% non-GMO certified organic soy lecithin.

I purchased one recently and it looks like they switched to Sunflower lecithin instead of soy. My old bottles all read soy.

The label does not indicate that these contain soy or lecithin. It does say it does not contain soybeans. Hope this helps!

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.

There's a better answer at http://www.sunbutter.com/docs/SoyStatement.pdf - basically, the answer is YES :"We also receive a fair number of questions about the mixed tocopherols which we add to our SunButterproducts. This is a soy based vitamin E which accounts for less than 1% of the ingredients in our productwhich is added to extend shelf life. While being derived from soy, it is a highly refined vitamin E with allof the proteins being removed. The proteins are the source of just about all food allergy concerns. Anytrace amount of soy contamination would be derived from shared equipment, not the tocopherols beingadded."

In the "Product Description" it says: "HealthForce Lecithin is derived 100% from soybeans that have NOT been genetically engineered or modified."

No "organic" labeling. The whey is from cows not treated with rBGH. Lecithin is from non-GMO sunflower seeds. Sweetened with Stevia. Usually I Dont like Stevia, but can't taste its unique flavor in this protein powder. NO...MSG, Acesulfame-K, artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners, cholesterol, artificial colors, aspartame, sucralose, lactose, or sugar.The only downside I can see, is if you have allergies, it is produced in a factory that processes all the major allergens.I absolutely love this product.

I just check the Fern website myself and did not find that they included "Liquid Lecithin" in their confirmation of being Non-GMO. Here is a copy and past from their website on the subject: "Which of the FEARN Soy products are non-GMO? Non-GMO continues to evolve and, at present, we can confirm that our SOYA GRANULES, SOYA POWDER, 100% SOYA PROTEIN ISOLATE are non-GMO." Please notice, there is no mention of Liquid Lecithin. Here is the URL address. Click on their FAQ to see the statement: http://modernfearn.com/

Instantized means that a lecithin has been added. In ProMix's case, a non-gmo sunflower lecithin has been used to make the protein more soluble in liquids.

Yes. This is from their website: NOW® Soy Free Phosphatidyl Serine is a phospholipid compound derived from Non-GMO sunflower lecithin that plays an essential role in cell membrane composition and intercellular communication.

Yes.. It says very explicitly that it is non-GMO soybeans it on the description. But if you feel more comfortable with a non-soybean option, I recommend their sunflower lecithin. :)

I just bought the 8-pack of 1 serving packets. The package says they use soy lecithin instead of the sunflower but these also expire 10/14 so I think I got an older batch. Going to try buying a 1.1 lb next to see if the newer batches are soy-free.
