Soy Lecithin 1200mg – Natural Phospholipids in vegan softgels
Soy Lecithin 1200mg by EssentialSeries is a vegan softgel food supplement containing a high concentration of natural phospholipids from soy lecithin obtained from the natural mechanical pressing of soybeans to extract their crude virgin oils.
Soy lecithin is a product used worldwide for culinary reasons as it is an excellent emulsifier. However, due to its unique nutritional characteristics that many people seek to use, its phospholipids have been extracted in oily presentations to take advantage of its benefits.
The soy lecithin phospholipid softgels by HSN are coated with a vegetarian and non-animal agent, making them completely suitable for vegan diets.
Natural phospholipids – with the best quality controls
We are committed to the environment and sustainability
Soy is currently the most widely genetically modified crop species to resist herbicides and pests. More than 75% of the soy grown in the world is GM, i.e. genetically modified (ISAAA, 2019).
At HSN we are aware of the concerns that users have about the consumption of products made from genetically modified organisms, not to mention the environmental impact of genetic engineering.
For all these reasons, and in order to maintain our commitment to consumers and to sustainable production:
We have selected a raw material that has used natural, non-genetically modified soybeans.
Most of the products on the market with soy lecithin are made from GM soy because it is cheaper. We don’t care about that, and we prefer to bring you a product with a natural raw material that has been cultivated following traditional procedures.
Extracted by mechanical processes
Soy lecithin in oil form, due to its high extracted phospholipid content, can be processed in many ways, with the use of chemical solvents such as hexane, acetone, petroleum ether, or benzene being the preferred process for companies.
At HSN we use mechanical processes to extract the natural oil from the soybean. They essentially consist of pressing the cultivated soybean to obtain its oily content, rich in lecithin, which is separated by heating its natural oil with water, and subsequently, its phospholipids, concentrated from the lecithin treatment.
Enjoy a highly concentrated soy lecithin supplement made using the best extraction processes from a natural source of soybeans.
High concentration: 1200mg of pure phospholipids per softgel
We recommend the use of 2 vegetable softgels per day to obtain a net dose of 2400mg of soy lecithin phospholipids.
This high dose is effectively achieved with the use of so few softgels, thanks to the high unit concentration of soy lecithin phospholipids in each softgel, no less than 1200mg.
At HSN we not only work on the search for the best raw materials and the development of the best formulas, but we also strive to follow the best procedures to obtain products of the highest quality, concentration, and effectiveness.
Don’t miss out on our highly concentrated (1200mg) soy lecithin softgels.
Advantages of soy lecithin over other lecithin sources
Lecithins are not only present in soy, they are elements of the cell membranes of many plants and are also present in animals and humans, especially, in the cells of the nervous system where they form part of the cell walls of neurons.
Other foods containing lecithins in high concentrations are vegetable oils, especially cottonseed or sunflower oil, and egg yolks.
However, soy lecithin has certain benefits over other sources such as a phosphatidylinositol content of 15% of total phospholipids, which is significantly higher than any other source such as egg or sunflower.
HSN and product development for all
At HSN we know that part of the population is vegan and that this should not be a limiting factor for the consumption of food supplements, so in the development of our products, we pay great attention to the selection of ingredients in order to rule out the use of food sources of animal origin.
Soy lecithin is a vegetable source, suitable for vegans, but with its phospholipid content, it is in an oily form.
This means that in order to present it, it has to be coated in softgels to prevent the contents from spilling out, and most competing softgels are made from gelatine, which is derived from the structures that make up the articular cartilage of animals such as cows and pigs.
Why should a product that may be perfectly suitable for vegan diets be rendered unsuitable because of the use of excipients?
At HSN we take a firm stand against this!
And we use the latest technological advances in the field of food supplement production to develop softgels with vegetable glazing agents.
Our softgels are made with starch, a glazing agent that is derived from cereals and is completely suitable for consumption by vegans.
The properties of soy lecithin you are looking for
Soy lecithin is very rich in phospholipids, of which phosphatidylcholine is the most abundant type. This phospholipid contains a contribution of choline which, according to calculations estimated in scientific studies, would be released in the region of 1.67 – 2.2% of the total composition, being higher in our product as it is pure phospholipids.
Choline is a nutrient that has nutritional properties, such as contributing to normal homocysteine metabolism, normal lipid metabolism, and maintaining normal liver function.
Typical soy lecithin composition. Rich in important nutrients
According to scientific studies, the composition of liquid soy lecithin (oily form) is as follows:
- Phosphatidylcholine: 12.69-16.7%.
- Phosphatidylinositol: 6.47-11.84%.
- Phosphatidylethanolamine: 6.45-13.57%.
- Phosphatidic acid: 2.28-5.96%.
A broad spectrum of phospholipids important for the natural composition of this plant structure, with a significant supply of phosphatidic acid, a nutrient in short supply in the diet, which athletes seek to use, hence the widespread consumption of soy lecithin among bodybuilders.
Recommended combinations with soy lecithin – Optimise your dietary supplementation
According to multiple scientific studies, soy lecithin has been used as a lipid carrier with other agents to increase its bioavailability. These include:
- Boswellia serrata.
- Turmeric.
- Milk Thistle.
- Grape seed.
- Green tea and its catechins.
- Resveratrol.
It is therefore recommended to use soy lecithin together with one or more of these food supplements to optimise their combined use.
Is soy lecithin right for me? HSN Recommendations
Soy lecithin is widely used by people interested in maintaining a varied and healthy diet, as well as by athletes, especially in bodybuilding and strength sports.
Also available in granules – Here are a few recipe ideas
Don’t miss out on Soy lecithin granules by FoodSeries. Rich in natural phospholipids, ideal for culinary use.
- Baked goods: As a partial substitute for fats such as butter or oils in cakes, for example.
- Soups and sauces: To increase density, it is used as a ‘texturiser’ to make it creamier.
- Dressings: It helps to emulsify the oil and water phase of dressings (e.g. oil and vinegar).
- Drinks: Ideal in shakes and smoothies, it helps to increase nutritional richness and improve both texture and taste.
- Desserts: It is used as an emulsifier in the production of ice cream and chocolate, for example, helping to stabilise the cooling of dairy products and reducing the formation of crystals by freezing.
