This is some information on soy leichten taken from rollup. However we use lecithin, not as a flavor enhancer, but for the same reason pharmaceutical companies do; it's called liposomal encapsulation.

This is why I recommend using it in any edible-intent extraction, during the processing of your canna, from citric extractions, to alcohol, to oil.

They use it in pharmaceuticals to improve bioavailability of everything from pain meds, to vitamin C.. with vit C for example, it becomes up to 75% more bioavailable to your system, meaning you get the same treatment from using only 1mg liposomally treated vit C, as you would from around 4-5+mg untreated vit C. They use it as a flavor enhancer in cooking for similar reasons; the lecithin breaks down the flavoring already present into smaller particulates, allowing that flavor to enter your taste buds more easily, for a more rich, or full flavor

Vit C is a good example because it is very resistant to being absorbed by our system in its natural state without proper preparation (sound familiar? ) which is why you often see un-altered brands advertising "3000% of your daily dosage in each cap", you need that much per dose, just so your body has a chance to take in a healthy quantity.

Using liposomal encapsulation technology however (adding lecithin as an emulsifier and homogenizer), is considered the closest we can get in pill form, to an intravenous injection. It's used more frequently and considered to be even more effective at improving bioavailability, than the Bioperine used in Cannabrex 3x enhancement formula.

"Most of his work has been done with Vitamin C. Vitamin C has very low absorbability in the gastrointestinal tract of humans (16%). By encapsulating Vitamin C nanoparticles with a phospholipid membrane, we could directly by-pass the destructive forces of the gut with Liposomal-C being directly absorbed into the blood stream. He has manipulated the natural tendency of phospholipids to form tiny encasing bubbles (liposomes) in a water-based pharmacological solution. The key is that these formed liposomes will automatically encase whatever is in the water solution with it."

Here's a link to get you started.. try using google to search "lecithin THC pills capsules" and "lecithin liposomal encapsulation", and you'll come up with loads of responses.

And an ecerpt from my first post here, for the canna capsules:

"Soy Lecithin. It's used in food processing to make less sugar appear 'sweeter', less

chocolate more 'chocolatey', and in pharmaceuticals to enhance the effectiveness of

medications, it homogenizes and safely coats, then breaks down substances, into more

fine, smaller particulates, promoting vastly improved systemic bioavailability within your

body.

The difference is so great, that you can visually see the altered consistency between

oils/pills where lecithin was used, and when it was not. 'Liposomal' lecithin encapsulation,

simply put, breaks the glands down faster, making the heating process more efficient,

reducing the risk of damaging the material from possible over-processing. I recommend

using soy lecithin in all canna and hash oil recipes.

The glands, already being decarbed (preferably), are then broken down further, and are

delivered in a vehicle of lecithin oil, creating an intensely narcotic impact upon use.

Lecithin increases the availability of everything from sugars to vitamin C, to prescription

pain meds, and the increase in availability on contact is said to be between %15 and %75

depending on the substance, vitamin, or chemical. Meaning, the correct addition of lecithin

to for instance, vitamin C, reduces the quantity of ascorbic acid you need to consume in

order to achieve the same effect, by more than 50%. You can see how this applies to the

use of digestive-resistant canna in edibles.

And when you can buy such large packets of it for just two or three dollars, whatever the

increase is, it's well worth it. If you'd like to get fancy, and possibly enhance the process

further, you can additionally use ultrasonic jewelry cleansers to mimic the lab-like process

of liposomal encapsulation, and utilize a briefer period of heating. "
