All this makes the ingestion of soy lecithin very adequate to prevent formation of cholesterol and other lipids that become more liquid and are not attached to the arteries. The use of soy lecithin promotes circulation and prevents blood clots in the arteries, thereby preventing heart attacks and other circulatory diseases.

Lecithin is sold in capsules, ampoules or granulated form. The usual dose of lecithin in capsules or ampoules is usually about 2200 mg daily divided into two doses with main meals. The equivalent of this dosage is a couple of teaspoons in the form of granules, one at breakfast and another meal. This is sprinkled over the plate, add to yogurt or orange juice
