Lecithin gell caps- Walgreen/CVS etc
suggested by Kijana on Wednesday, February 14, 2007

| I started giving my grand aunt lecithin, to improve her memory and it worked like a miracle! She started feeding herself, talking again, and we had to send back her shiny new wheelchair. When I noticed how lovely her skin was, I started taking them too...15 years later, I now take 3/day and though I am almost 60, folk think I am in my early 40s. I notice a definite stress difference if I am off them for a week or so. I now swear by them. |
