I ordered a 3lb bottle of Lecithin and was looking for sunflower lecithin which I thought this one was. Is it sunflower or soy lecithin?

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.

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 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/

Here is my answer to you, Christine: 1. The crude sunflower lecithin is received as finished product from sister site. 2. The material is passed through a rough filter and extracted with acetone to remove the sunflower oil. 3. A separation is done to remove the acetone and moisture, leaving the de-oiled sunflower lecithin material. 4. The de-oiled sunflower lecithin material is then granulated to obtain the desired physical attributes. 5. The de-oiled sunflower lecithin material is sent through a drier for final solvent and moisture removal. 6. Dried material is passed over a magnet and screens prior to packaging. 7. Finished material is ground to obtain the desired physical attributes, passed through metal detection and packaged using a nitrogen flush to maintain product attributes. Unfortunately, it's no the best of the products, though, it is at least a non-GMO product.

I recommend contacting nowfoods.com for complete information. My container says it is "jojoba oil 100% pure moisturizing oil", "expeller-pressed and hexane-free". Further, it is "derived from the jojoba shrub". It "contains many nutritional compounds, including long-chain fatty acids and fatty alcohols". No place on the bottle is soy mentioned. I hope this helps.

In the ingredients, it lists: <1% of Soy Lecithin, so technically the answer is yes but it is a very small amount if that makes a difference for you!

I cannot tell from the packaging. But it says that there is less than 1% of soy 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

I think soy lecithin (sp?) is involved, but not certain. I've thrown away the current label, but the other brand Seeking Health doesn't have anything on the label. You may have to go to the company websites to find out more.

The single ingredient listed is protein from 100% whey. However, the label also states it contains lecithin from soy. I think it must be a miniscule amount. I avoid all soy on the advice of my oncologist, but I use this product and love it.

I read the label and it has soy lecithin in it. At the bottom it says contains soy. Hope that helps you.

It does not state either. It only says lecithin. It is probably animal. Hope it helps

The order I just received, from the seller "American Nutrition Store," lists non-GMO sunflower lecithin. Goes on to say "Free of egg, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat and soybeans." And then the standard "manufactured in a facility that... (does everything)" warning.

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.

No, it does not contain any soy. However...I took this for about 8 weeks and my eyes were achey and bothered me to watch tv. Did some research and found too much Lutein can cause eye problems...but stop taking them and your eyes go back to normal after a couple days. I stopped taking it. Next time I will order the 6mg not the 20mg dosage. We are only supposed to have 30mg per week! 1-3 mg a day! So 6mg would be ok. The bottle DOES NOT say Soy Lecithin, or anything else soy.
