I recommend 4 gelcaps of 21 grain lecithin. The bottle recommends 1 a day
but that is just for a supplement. I have mom begin with 4. After a week or
so she can see if just 3 will work for her. For some women 3 is enough.
That is the lowest level that I have recorded.
Personally, I take 2 gelcaps a day as a "roto rooter" for fats in the blood
veins.
