Is Soy Lecithin Effective?
There is not enough scientific evidence to suggest that soy
lecithin really is effective for most uses
(see Does Lecithin Work? for more information).
Although general dosing guidelines may be obtained from a few clinical studies that evaluated certain uses of the supplement, there is no established standard dosage for soy lecithin.
