What Is Pharma Grade Lecithin?

A functional phospholipid ingredient for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and advanced formulation applications.

Learn how Lecithin source, physical form and phospholipid profile can influence formulation selection.

PHOSPHOLIPID INGREDIENTS

Lecithin for Formulation-Focused Applications

Lecithin is a naturally occurring mixture of phospholipids. Phosphatidylcholine, often referred to as PC, is one of its principal phospholipid components.

Pharma Grade Lecithin is used where formulation teams require a functional phospholipid ingredient for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and specialised applications. The appropriate Lecithin solution may be selected based on source, physical form, phospholipid composition and formulation objective.

Available solutions may include fluid, powder, PC-enriched and high-PC waxy Lecithin formats.

SELECTING A LECITHIN SOLUTION

Three Factors That Shape the Right Choice

Lecithin selection begins with the requirements of the intended formulation.

Source

Selected Soya and Sunflower based Lecithin options can be assessed according to the preferred ingredient source.

Physical Form

Lecithin is available in selected liquid, powder, concentrated and waxy formats for different handling and formulation requirements.

Phospholipid Profile

Standard, PC-enriched and high-PC Lecithin solutions allow consideration of the required phospholipid concentration and profile.
