> Couldn't I just get the phosphadites (sp?) from soy lecithin, I had some lecithin but threw it out after reading somewhere that it can CAUSE depression, perhaps this would only apply if taken to excess, I don't really know, can anyone shed any light on this?

There are four phosphatides, and only three of them are found in soya lecithin. Lecithin can have a "dampening" effect, which some would feel as calming. That's how I feel....mellowed.

The missing phosphatide in soya lecithin is phosphatidylserine (PS). PS is synthesized from soya lecithin, and most PS supplements provide PS at around 30% of the capsule mass. That's because the synthesis is inefficient, and expensive. So, a PS capsule will generally supply the other phosphatides as well, but who knows what the concentrations would be. Pure PS is available, but it is rather dear.

I generally take PS capsules, and wash it down with a blender drink that I mixed with some lecithin granules. Lecithin is an emulsifier, so it gives the drink a smoother texture (by the way).
