Anda Tanya - Iffa Jawab : Bila sepatutnya ambil lecithin, Sebelum atau Selepas Makan?

Salam semua,


Minggu kurus badan ni banyak pula Iffa dapat soalan-soalan menarik. Baru tadi Iffa dapat sms dari Datin Walis, bertanya:

"Iffa, betul ke makan lecithin after each meal..dlm internet before meal"

Nampak mudah soalannya, tapi memang mengelirukan ramai orang. sebab jika anda google ada pendapat yang mengatakan lecithin bagus diambil sebelum makan dan ada yang mengatakan ia bagus di ambil selepas makan. Jadi yang mana satu betul ya? Pertama sekali mari Iffa share pengalaman Kak N, pengasas trial pack Shaklee. Beliau telah mengambil supplement Shaklee lebih kurang 9-10 tahun. Ini yang dikongsikan oleh beliau bersama Iffa dan rakan-rakan:

Product knowledge:

"Saya baru belajar sesuatu tentang Lecithin. Dulu saya biasa amik Lecithin sebelum makan especially masa sedang menyusu anak....namun setelah saya terbaca satu artikel, pengambilan vitamin sebelum makan boleh meningkatkan enzim metabolik yang mana kesannya boleh menjadikan seseorang kuat makan dan sentiasa berselera. Saya notice saya melaluinya. Saya tukar semula jadual pemakanan Lecithin saya, saya amik 6 biji selepas lunch and dinner, baru lah saya tak mudah lapar dan berat saya menampakkan penurunan."

Menurut beliau, artikel yang di refer ialah dari ruangan Kesihatan, Mingguan Malaysia. Untuk customer yang merujuk kepada Iffa, Iffa memang akan suggest pengambilan Lecithin selepas makan, kerana ia meningkatkan kadar penyerapannya. Bawah ni Iffa share info on



When is the best time to take vitamin supplements?


According to Karen Sullivan, author of Vitamins & Minerals, An Illustrated Guide, it's best to take most supplements after a meal. Absorption of supplements is best when the body has bulky food to work on. It is especially important to take time-release formulas with food.


Water-soluble vitamins, especially B-complex and C, are excreted rapidly from the body. So breaking your dose into three parts to take after meals will give you the best chance of maintaining a high body level.


If you have to take all your supplements at once, it is best to take them after your biggest meal of the day. It is also important to take vitamins and minerals together as minerals are essential for the proper absorption of vitamins.


Remember to check your label. It should advise you as to specific instructions on best times to take. Also remember that your health care professional may advise you to vary these guidelines in order to obtain a particular result.

Iffa ada jumpa satu laman sawang(Vital Health) yang menceritakan segala perihal lecithin. Mari iffa kongsikan di sini. Maaflah, tidak berkesempatan untuk translate.

Why lecithin is good for you

Lecithin is a fatty substance which is found in high concentrations in the cell membrane (phospholipid). Every living cell of the body requires lecithin because of its requirement in creating cell membranes. Lecithin is both water and oil soluble and regulates the movement of fats and nutrients entering and leaving the cell.

Lecithin is required for a whole range of body functions, including infant and foetal development and as an aid in reproduction, is essential in keeping the liver and gall bladder healthy and for heart health.

The body uses lecithin both for the proper formation of bile (the body's main emulsifying compound), and as an emulsifying agent itself. Lecithin helps the body use and absorb fat-soluble nutrients, such as vitamin A,vitamin D, vitamin E and vitamin K.

Lecithin is an important precursor to the main neurotransmitter,acetylcholine, which plays an important role in memory and muscles control. Myelin sheaths that protect the brain, spine and thousands of nerves in the body are almost two-thirds lecithin.

Soy lecithin, a constituent included in most processed and packaged foods is included as a natural emulsifier or stabiliser, is extracted during the processing of soybean oil. It promotes solidity in margarine and gives a consistent texture to salad dressing and other creamy products.

The body produces its own lecithin in the liver.

Important lecithin facts

• The brain consists of 30% lecithin
• Lecithin is an excellent source of the vitamin B cofactor, choline(choline is part of the lecithin molecule)
• Around 20% of the lecithin found in plants and natural foods consists of phosphatidylcholine
• Choline is so vital in infant development that all baby formula must contain this nutrient
• Lecithin is a phospholipid, which is part of cell membranes
• Lecithin granules contain higher concentrations of phosphatidylcholine
• Lecithin is a good source of linolenic acid

Types of lecithin supplementation

Lecithin is available in the following forms:

• Capsules - lecithin powder is added to capsules
• Tablet - lecithin is compressed and formed into tablets
• Powder - extracted from soybeans and crushed into a powder
• Granules - soybeans that have been granularised
• Soft gel Capsules - filled with soybean lecithin liquid(Shaklee Lecithin dlm kategori ini)
• Liquid - soy lecithin is extracted into a liquid oil

Lecithin supplementation checklist

• Lecithin should be taken with meals to increase absorption
• Granular lecithin has a nutty/grainy flavour and can be added to cereals, juice or smoothies
• Choose non-genetically modified lecithin supplements (the long term effects of genetic modification are not yet known and erring on the side of caution is advisable)
• Store in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight - storage in the refrigerator is preferred

Lecithin and health

• Gall bladder disease - lecithin is a key component of bile, which is a fat digester produced in the gall bladder. Low lecithin levels have been known to cause gallstones when bile levels are low. Taking extra lecithin in this situation has been shown in studies to prevent gallstones
• Liver disease - a 10 year study on animals showed that lecithin prevented cirrhosis and severe liver scarring caused by alcoholism. Other similar studies have shown it helps the liver affected with hepatitis.
• Alzheimer's disease - the nerve-building and protection properties of lecithin may be useful for helping with memory problems in people with Alzheimer's disease. More studies are needed in this area to provide proof for this
• People taking niacin/nicotinamide - people taking these supplements for treatment of high blood cholesterol ortriglycerides levels may need lecithin or choline supplementation to re-balance these levels
