Around that, we add a pharmacist’s high-level view of the product as a whole — what’s inside, the evidence for its stated use, how transparent the label is, and what safety data exists — so you can see the full picture in one place. It’s educational information from our licensed clinical databases and the clinical staff at HelloPharmacist — not medical advice — and we don’t sell or endorse products. Our editorial policy

HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Ultra Lecithin Concentrate by Vitamin World

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • “Soy Lecithin” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (400 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Ultra Lecithin Concentrate has one active ingredient: phosphatidylcholine, a compound found naturally in cell membranes that plays a role in how your cells work and communicate. The product also contains soy lecithin (another source of phosphatidylcholine), gelatin, and vegetable glycerin as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Phosphatidylcholine's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Supports cell growth, function, and heart health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Hyperlipidemia, Hyperlipoproteinemia, Atherosclerosis, Peripheral arterial disease (PAD), Angina, Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Phosphatidylcholine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Alcohol-related liver disease (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Phosphatidylcholine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Angina, Atherosclerosis, Hepatitis C, Hepatitis A, and more.

The evidence we hold suggests phosphatidylcholine is possibly effective for ulcerative colitis (an inflammatory bowel condition). For nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, alcohol-related liver disease, Alzheimer disease, and anxiety, the evidence isn't established well enough to rate it yet — meaning we don't have enough reliable data either way.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lecithin Phosphatidylcholine

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Phosphatidylcholine is generally well tolerated in the amounts found in food and supplements. High doses may cause digestive upset — the most common side effects reported are altered taste, bloating, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting.

Choline (which phosphatidylcholine contains) is needed during pregnancy, but we don't have enough data on supplement safety beyond food sources during pregnancy or breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this if you're pregnant or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Lecithin Phosphatidylcholine

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check. That said, run your medications through the search tool on this page before you begin.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

If you have ulcerative colitis and are interested in a phosphatidylcholine supplement, this product's ingredient has some evidence behind it — but talk to your doctor first. If you're taking it for another reason, the evidence isn't clear yet.

Anyone with digestive problems or taking multiple medications should check with us or your pharmacist before starting.

Ultra Lecithin Concentrate by Vitamin World: Common Questions

Does Ultra Lecithin Concentrate by Vitamin World interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Ultra Lecithin Concentrate. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Ultra Lecithin Concentrate contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What is phosphatidylcholine?
It's a natural compound that's a building block of cell membranes and helps cells work properly. It's found in foods like eggs and soybeans, and this supplement concentrates it from soy lecithin.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Choline (which phosphatidylcholine contains) is needed during pregnancy, but we don't have enough reliable data on supplement safety beyond what you'd get from food. If you're pregnant or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it.
What are the most common side effects?
The most common ones reported are bloating, diarrhea, altered taste, nausea, and vomiting — especially at higher doses. Most people tolerate it well at normal supplement amounts.
Does this help with liver disease?
We don't have enough reliable evidence yet to say whether it helps with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease or alcohol-related liver disease. Talk with your doctor about whether it might be right for you.
Is this product soy-free?
No — it contains soy lecithin as both an active ingredient and as part of the inactive ingredients. If you have a soy allergy, this isn't the right product for you.
