Soy lecithin improves brain function. I do not know for sure, however, this is an excellent product that works great!

It wasn't on the ingredient lists of what I got. Pretty sure the UK cadbury doesn't use soy lecithin. These bars are the UK cadbury not the US cadbury. Therefore I would assume there is none in this bar.

I use this recipe I got from Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cBp879mfgITips: Soak the lecithin first before blending, make sure the water that you add vit C or glutathione to is warm, add a bit of vanilla extract to the end product to improve taste. I make the glutathione mixture separate from the vit. C mixture, two separate batches. Instead of 1 Tsp vitamin C, I use 1 Tsp glutathione. For my next batches, I will be using sunflower lecithin because I don't care to have too much soy in my diet. If I had to do it over, I would have bought the larger size ultrasonic cleaner so I could make more at one time. Both mixtures are great and don't last long around our house.

It doesn't say 100% lecithin. But on the ingredient list the only ingredient listed is "Soy Lecithin Granules."

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.

This blend does contain soy lecithin, though I have used this product extensively and have experienced no ill affects from soy (i.e., estrogen related setbacks). The amount is certainly minimal, as soy lecithin is used as an emulsifier rather than a source of protein.

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

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.

Unfortunately this item pops up on amazon when you do a search for "sunflower lecithin". To boot, it looks very much like the similar but smaller Swanson sunflower product. This product is labeled just "Lecithin" then it says in small print that it is soy based. I got duped and wasted my money on it.

Great question and thank you for calling this to our attention. It is soy lecithin. The shipped product is correctly labeled with soy lecithin in both places.

All the folks that say it's 100% whey, the product description clearly says, "Whey Protein Concentrate (whey protein concentrate soy lecithin)" And the front of the label says "Contains milk and soy."So technically it does contain soy (lecithin). Most whey products contain soy lecithin. I'm guessing it's in trace amounts, most < 1%, but not sure since it doesn't say.

It contains lecithin derived from soybeans. Lecithin is phosphatidylcholine, and is an essential component of our bodies. It's put in powdered milk to help the "cream" dissolve. Otherwise, your reconstituted milk would be full of little clumps. Lecithin can be obtained from a lot of foods including eggs and fish. By itself it is sold as a nutritional supplement. The chance of this causing an allergic reaction in a person sensitive to soybeans is vanishingly low.

Very helpful - soybean oil really???? In this day and age you make an Organic product with soybean oil! Will never buy this product.

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?

If you compare the ingredients you can see why it's cheaper. This is made from soy and whey and all the other ingredients I read weren't real food ingredients like Shakeology. You could use it instead, but it will not give you the same nutritional benefits.

As long as there is a lipid it should foam. I don't know about soy milk, if the label shows fat content it should foam. If it doesn't work you can add some emulsifier to help it along.
