Lecithin, especially in the amount found in Green Vibrance, is perfectly safe to take during pregnancy. It is in the product to provide a source of phospholipids which just happen to be the primary structural component of every cell membrane in the body! Any lecithin that the mother’s body does not consume building and repairing her own cells, may be used to help build cells in the growing foetus. They will also support neurological development while helping keep arteries clear and blood flowing smoothly through the mother’s cardiovascular system, thereby indirectly helping nourish the developing child.
If the fear of lecithin during pregnancy is (erroneously) attached to the false fear that soy lecithin contains phytoestrogens, then, of course, that argument is meaningless given the fact that Green Vibrance contains lecithin from sunflower oil. I would like to do point out, however, that even soy lecithin contains no anti-nutrients and no phytoestrogens due to the high level of processing that must occur in order to extract 98% pure soy phosphatides. The remaining 2% of the material would be moisture and mineral ash. No phytoestrogens.
