Can you get enough lecithin from food and dietary sources ?

Lecithin is found in a wide variety of foods, and few people are seriously deficient in this substance. However, those who regularly consume alcohol, or who have conditions that inhibit the digestion of fats could benefit from lecithin supplementation. Taking one 1,200-milligram capsule before each meal can help the body digest fats and fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamins A, E, and D. In addition, lecithin supplements may be useful to those seeking to improve memory or brain function. Lecithin is available in both natural and synthetic supplements.
