MoreThis is a reply to # 1,895,492Are you taking lecithin? Is it causing YOU to feel depressed?
Everyone reacts differently to things.
I thought lecithin improved my mood when I tried it and that was what I liked about it, but I quit taking it because I developed symptoms of high estrogen and weight gain.
In my experience there are usually pros and cons to most supplements, but you have to be diligent in taking notes on how you feel when trying them. That way you know what effect it is having on you.
A big mistake is assuming a supplement has the same effect on everybody.
I read a lot about mucuna pruriens, for instance...It's suppose to help with energy and Depression and libido. For me, it made me cry every day that I tried it. And it had the opposite effect on libido and energy. Pfft! Totally wasn't worth it. And yet so many people report loving the stuff!
If lecithin makes you feel depressed then try something else.

No I have not tried egg lecithin. I thought about trying it, but I've tried sooo many supplements already. If you decide to try it and it works better for you, please come here and tell us about it. Personal experiences is valuable information.
What are you taking the lecithin for? What benefits were you hoping to get from it?
When I need help with feeling depressed I usually take some Schizandra berry or some Maca. And if my digestion needs help I find bitters work best, but I don't take them every day because I'm trying to lose weight and I suspect the bitters may stimulate my appetite.
I hope you feel better soon. I hate feeing depressed. In fact if I take something that does make me feel depressed I will go and take a capsule of Schizandra or Maca as soon as I notice what's going on. Why waste a day feeling bad?
There are other supplements that help with depression, those are just two that I notice are very helpful for me. I have several boxes of assorted supplements and the ones that have helped me the most I end up buying more of and keep them on hand. Schizandra is one of those that I would never want to be without.

This is a reply to # 1,896,409Have you tried TMG? I was using it for other reasons but
then I read what people said on iHerb.com that they were using it for depression. I realized then that I had been feeling much better and my mind was clearer. At the same time I also had started the bitters 3x a day. I used the Jarrow crystals but have changed to purebulk.com since it is cheaper.- Re: Lecithin causes depression? Hveragerthi

Have you tried TMG? I was using it for other reasons but
then I read what people said on iHerb.com that they were using it for depression.Yes, as a methyl donor the TMG will help in the production of neurotransmitters and hormones and the breakdown of excess estrogens that can suppress the thyroid leading to depression. In the breakdown glycine is formed, which raises GABA, which is also antidepressant.
SAMe has been promoted for a while as an antidepressant. It is also a methyl donor, but only provides one methyl group. TMG provides three methyl groups. During the breakdown it forms in to DMG, then SAMe and finally glycine.

This is a reply to # 1,895,492i had the same thing happen to me but it went away as my liver became healthier, through not eating meat for a while. i couldnt keep the mean or the lecithin down for some reason.
i tried sunflower lecithin as well and it did the same thing. so i figured my blood was too fatty to detox the added fat of the lecithin or the ability of it to emulsify fat. maybe go on a low saturated fat diet for a month or so and try it again
it was weird too cause my body loves the taste and craves lecithin so i was happy when i could take it easily- Re: Lecithin causes depression? Hidden Username

The articles says lecithin may cause depression?
True?This is only speculation, but there is no definitive evidence to back this up. In fact, there is also research showing just the opposite. Part of the problem is that the researchers are trying to tie the presence of something with a cause, which is not always the case. In addition, they are forgetting other important aspects such as how neurotransmitters interact and the fact that receptors must also work properly for the neurotransmitters to function in a proper way.
They really focus on bipolar depression in this case. In this case though what was found was that high acetylcholine combined with low norepinephrine and low GABA are associated with the depression in bipolar. The mania was associated with low acetylcholine and high norepinephrine. On the other hand low norepinephrine also leads to depression. Furthermore, bipolar patients were also found to have a higher sensitivity to both acetylcholine and norepinephrine. Therefore, for the researchers to assume that all people will respond to higher acetylcholine levels in the same manner is simply bad science.
