Nutritional benefits

Soybean lecithin improves fat metabolism and energy utilization, making it especially beneficial for high-performance animals. It also supports liver function and supports the strength of cell membranes due to its phospholipid content. Soybean lecithin also increases the palatability and consistency of feed, improving intake and nutrient absorption. As such, it is a valuable ingredient in animal feed formulations for optimizing growth, health and feed efficiency.

Rapeseed lecithin is rich in phospholipids, including phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, which play an important role in cell membrane integrity and function. It also contains essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals that support various physiological functions, including liver health, cognitive function and overall well-being. The lecithin content in rapeseed lecithin typically ranges from 60% to 70%, providing a concentrated source of these nutrients.
