Does lecithin really help with memory? Scientists examined diet and supplementation

A study involving seniors found that higher lecithin intake was associated with better cognitive performance and a 20% lower risk of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, researchers caution that this does not confirm that lecithin prevents dementia, as the study did not track health over time. While dietary sources of lecithin may support cognitive function, routine supplementation is not recommended in Poland. Good sources include egg yolks, organ meats, fish, legumes, and nuts. Concerns exist for those allergic to soy, commonly used in lecithin supplements. Neurologists advise consulting a doctor for significant memory issues, as they may indicate underlying health problems.
