Pharmaceuticals: Lecithin is a key source of Choline. Choline is responsible for the building blocks of human, animal and plant bodies. Without choline, the call membranes would harden, which would prevent nutrients from entering and leaving the cell. Hence, Lecithin has been used extensively as a strong source of Choline and has been considered as a potent excipient. The key functions of Lecithin are resorption enhancement, solubilization and toxicity reduction of the drug.
