  • Excellent way to increase energy

  • Helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels

  • Provides phosphatidyl choline for memory support

Swanson Lecithin is a bona fide classic when it comes to nutritional supplements! Its energizing virtues were proclaimed in a 1970s book called "Everything You Want to Know About Energy but Were Too Weak to Ask" and it hasn't lost any steam in the last three decades. Anyone who uses lecithin knows how it makes them feel alive and clear-headed, owing largely to its high phosphatidyl choline content, which provides the material for neurotransmitters critical to proper thought and memory processes. Lecithin is also very effective for maintaining healthy levels of cholesterol. Try a tablespoon or two in a protein shake or sprinkle it on your cereal each morning. Identity preserved, non-GMO lecithin.

love it, but I would love it more if it came as a refill: a plastic BAG, not a plastic JAR. I could just refill my smaller decanter, and not have this huge jar taking up space. Thank you! April 10, 2012
Love it! I bought this after reading it's benefits for other users. I had no real expectations and was open to experience. Now, I can't not have it! It's NON-GMO, AWESOME!! It tastes good, it actually makes what I put it in 'creamy' tasting, but nothing like a milk product. Being vegan I've really enjoyed adding it to my homemade nut milk, and to a glass of Kombucha. It's takes the acidic taste natural to Kombucha down a notch and makes it yummier, but I am already in love with my Kombucha, so that's saying something! As far it's benefits, while I can't state exactly, well, anything, I can say I feel better when I have it. HIGHLY recommend this prodcut, and only from Swansons. :) April 7, 2012
Best Value I was looking for a high value lecithin at a good price and your product was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks! April 4, 2012
A Healthy Fat I use Lecithin granules in place of fat. For example, I mix 2 tblspns lecithin with 3 tblspns water and a little salt. Mix and use in place of butter on bread. It's delicious, healthy, and low calorie. I throw some in any dish that needs a fat texture with the same benefits. I wouldn't be without it. I use Swanson's for economy, but I prefer NOW's granules. They are a brighter yellow and my "butter" mixture thickens more with NOW'S. March 30, 2012
great stuff!! I have been trying to improve my mother's (she's 93) nutrition since she started living with me recently. Adding a tablespoon or so of lecithin to her smoothies really ups the vitamin content, as well as providing healthy fats. It also makes the smoothies creamy...I even add it to my homemade chocolate ice cream! February 10, 2012
I take it everyday,..seems too be effective! December 28, 2011
Great Quality, Reliability, and Price! I rely on a specific ingredient found in lecithin for my personal physical needs. I have taken Swanson Premium Lecithin Granules daily for many months, but recently I switched to another reputable brand. After taking the other brand for about a week, I could tell my system was not getting what it needs. In comparing product ingredient labels, I found the other product contains only 21% of the specific ingredient I rely on as compared with that found in the Swanson's product! I had to take five times the dosage to get the same effect! I will definitely stay with Swanson's!!! June 22, 2011
Best Lecithin I've Found I've tried many different brands of lecithin granules and most have a rancid taste or a strong smell but Swanson Brand lecithin always tastes and smells fresh. I use it every day in my smoothies to give it a creamy milkshake quality. January 3, 2011
great value trusted health mag said this was a good idea. shopped around for the best deal and found it here December 30, 2010
very good This mixes in liquid so well that you just can't tell it is there. No taste, no texture, no yuckyness. There is enough in the jar to last about seven months when used as directed. It is very economical. Because it is Swanson, I know that what it says is in there; is in there. September 13, 2010
Good buy High quality product have received some positive results since taking product July 18, 2010
Non-GMO lecithin at a great value Most lecithin is made from soy. Most soy is GMO (genetically modified organism.) There is debate about possible health risks with GMO so I avoid putting it in my body. It was diffucult finding non-GMO lecithin. When found it was very expensive. Swanson Vitamins has regular lecithin and non-GMO. The 3 pound can is very economical. I believe that lecithin helps me deal with fats. I think it is helpful for the nervous system. I have used this product for several weeks and am very happy with my purchase. I highly recommend it. June 21, 2010
Great tasting Product has excellent consistency and tastes great. Mixes well in cereal especially warm. OK in smoothies and yogurt. June 13, 2010
Good Product - Consistent and Reliable I have been purchasing this product for a number of years now and I am always pleased with it. Store it in the freeaer to keep it fresh and keep a container of it in the refrigerator to use daily. May 19, 2010
Great source of an essential nutrient The price is unbeatable; high quality product too, as usual. I highly, highly recommend lecithin granules. Overall, I personally feel that this is simply the most economical and most effective way to make sure you're getting your choline. Tastes great with cottage cheese/yogurt too! *Last note: Also check out GABA -- Swanson's got a great price on it. I haven't tried it yet myself, but as a heads-up from a fellow consumer, it might be something to consider buying together with the lecithin granules or separately from them, depending on your needs. Always be as educated about this stuff as you can. Good luck! November 25, 2009
Best Price and Fresh I've been using lecithin granules for years. I find Swanson's has the best price for the best quality. Will never buy lecithin in bulk again, where it is exposed to air and turns rancid quickly. August 23, 2009
good product, good value I mix this into my nonfat plain yogurt every day. Because it is a three pound size, it is good value. It is in a good container with an easy to open seal and the container is all plastic, no aluminum. I do NOT want my food to contact any aluminum so I am happy about this container and I am happy about this product. August 19, 2009
Great Value for Freshes product I've used Lecithin for years and experienced varying qualities. Swanson's has been consistently fresh. So much so, I've purchased the 3lb tub my last 4 orders. Of course, as the first reviewer mentioned, I refrigerate it. Lecithin aids in the assimilation of fats in my diet, whether they be supplement or food. I count lecithin as essential in my diet and Swanson's quality and value make it's use easier. I'm torn between 4/Good & 5/Excellent in the CONVENIENCE category. Even though we save with the larger container, that's one big bottle. Fortunately I have room for it in my frig and go though it quickly. Also, I use an intermediate quart jar for added ease. August 17, 2009
BEST LECITHIN ON THE MARKET EXCELLENT QUALITY, PERFECT GRANULES DOESNT CLUMP TOGETHER LIKE SOME BRANDS DO, TASTES GREAT. MIXES VERY EASILY AND THE PRICE CANT BE BEAT.I USE IT IN MY PROTEIN DRINK ALONG WITH SWANSONS BREWERS YEAST, WHEAT GERM OIL,AND FLAXSEED MEAL. August 17, 2009
Great product I take lecithin daily because it helps preserve brain function. I also sometimes add it to such things as puddings to make it creamier. Really makes it taste luxurious. The granules are the most economical way to take it. Definitely keep in refrigerator to preserve freshness. I do this with anything that is oily/fatty because oils & fats go rancid. (BTW, whole grains also go rancid faster than processed flours because of the fat content in their "germ". Refrigerate them, too.) August 1, 2009
Granules The granules smell and taste great. The are very easy to eat: just place on food or in beverages. July 27, 2009
I have been cleansing five months and have struggled additionally with a fuzzy brain for nearly 3 years. A new friend told me to take lecithin for my brain. I am so thankful. I can say that this has made a huge difference for me. A daily Tbsp helps immensely. I will keep this up indefinitely. July 11, 2009
Not Recommended I have used other Lecithin Granules and none have left a greasey residue in my mouth like this product. I would not recommend this product to anyone who would mind this quality. Otherwise, it is adequate for its intended purpose. January 31, 2009
easy to use I mix this with my low fat yogurt in the morning and freeze with my on sugar grape juice. August 13, 2008
First thing I head for this stuff first thing in the morning to put in my drink with Super Green Max. June 5, 2008
