Lecithin.
Brief Introduction: Lecithin is a natural compound found in all living organisms. It is a lipid manufactured by the liver and also present in the brain and other tissues, as well as in many foods, such as egg yolks, soybean, and whole grains. It is the common name for a group of compounds called phosphatidylcholine(PPCs) and is the major source of the chemical nutrient choline. A distinction must be made between natural and commercially produced lecithin. Lecithin which is manufactured commercially, usually from soybeans or egg yolks, and that is now being sold as a dietary supplement, contains variable amounts of PPCs combined with other substances. It is unlikely that choline in PPCs or in any other form can be classified as a vitamin, as some proponents have claimed, given that the body can make choline on its own.
