Lekithos® Organic Sunflower Lecithin Liquid is our flagship product, being one of few certified USDA organic lecithins on the market. Sunflower Lecithin is a viscous brown-colored liquid naturally rich in phosphatidylcholine and essential fatty acids. Each serving of our sunflower lecithin contains 2100 mg of Phosphatidylcholine and 1000mg of Omega-6 fatty acids.

This can be used as either a nutritional supplement or as a plant-based emulsifier in baking and other food items.

Lekithos® Organic Sunflower Lecithin Liquid is made using a mechanical, cold-pressed, and solvent-free extraction process.

How To Use

Because it is a food-grade emulsifier, the liquid form is highly versatile:

Baking & Cooking (Emulsification): Use it in recipes where you need to combine ingredients that don't naturally mix, such as oil and water. It is excellent for homemade salad dressings, sauces, or dips to prevent separation.

Smoothies & Beverages: Add a tablespoon to your morning smoothie or shake. It provides a creamy texture and acts as a thickening agent while boosting the nutritional content.

Baking Additive: Incorporate it into bread or cookie doughs to improve the texture, increase moisture, and extend shelf life by keeping fats evenly distributed.

Direct Supplementation: Because it is food-grade, it can be taken directly off the spoon as a daily supplement for those focusing on increasing their intake of phospholipids.

Plant-Based Substitution: It is a standard replacement for soy-based lecithin or egg yolks in vegan cooking, helping achieve the desired consistency in batters and doughs without animal-derived ingredients.

What It Supports

The primary nutrients in sunflower lecithin, particularly phosphatidylcholine, are known to support several bodily functions:

Cellular Health: Phospholipids like phosphatidylcholine are fundamental building blocks of cell membranes, essential for maintaining structural integrity and proper cellular function throughout the body.

Cognitive & Nervous System Support: Phosphatidylcholine is a precursor to acetylcholine, a vital neurotransmitter involved in memory, mood regulation, and muscle control.

Lipid Metabolism: Lecithin acts as an emulsifier in the body, helping to break down fats and cholesterol, which can support healthy lipid levels and liver function.

Healthy Inflammation Response: The presence of essential fatty acids (Omega-6 and Omega-9) plays a role in supporting the body’s natural inflammatory response.

Breastfeeding Support: Many nursing mothers use sunflower lecithin as a supportive tool to help prevent or manage clogged milk ducts. By potentially reducing the viscosity of breast milk, it helps milk flow more freely through the ducts.

*Individual results vary.

Disclaimer: While sunflower lecithin is commonly used by nursing mothers, please consult with your healthcare provider or a lactation consultant before adding it to your regimen to ensure it is appropriate for your specific health needs.
