Phosphatidylcholine
Phosphatidylcholine is the main phospholipid in lecithin, and a 2.5 g serve of our sunflower lecithin contains about 625 mg of it.
What phosphatidylcholine is
Phosphatidylcholine, often shortened to PC, is a phospholipid: a fat molecule with a phosphate group and a choline group attached. It is the most abundant phospholipid in lecithin, alongside smaller amounts of others.

How to compare products
- Check whether the phosphatidylcholine content is stated at all
- Compare it per gram, not per scoop, as serve sizes vary
- Note whether it is plain lecithin or a concentrated phosphatidylcholine product, which is a different thing
