What is Soy Lecithin?
Lecithin is a food additive generally used as an emulsifier in the production of food. A naturally occurring fat, it is known to boost metabolism.
Soy Lecithin is extracted from soybeans and composed of choline, fatty acids and phospholipids. When used as an emulsifier, soy lecithin helps foods combine.
