The basics

Phosphatidylcholine is a phospholipid integral to cell membranes and plays a significant role in cognitive health and liver function. It is found in various food sources, including eggs, soybeans, sunflower seeds, and mustard.

The Science

Phosphatidylcholine's involvement in cell membrane composition and maintenance is critical to its role in health. The phospholipid bilayer, where phosphatidylcholine is a significant component, ensures the integrity and function of cells, enabling the transport of molecules in and out of cells and facilitating cell-to-cell communication.

In the context of cognitive health, phosphatidylcholine is metabolised to produce choline, which is then used to produce acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter essential for memory formation, learning, and other cognitive functions. Thus, phosphatidylcholine supplementation can support cognitive health by increasing the availability of choline for acetylcholine synthesis.

Regarding liver health, phosphatidylcholine is instrumental in the process of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) production, which is necessary for the transport and metabolism of fats. A lack of phosphatidylcholine can decrease VLDL production, leading to an accumulation of fats in the liver, thereby contributing to fatty liver disease. Therefore, phosphatidylcholine supplementation may aid in maintaining liver health by promoting proper fat transport and metabolism.

How will I know its working?

Positive effects of phosphatidylcholine supplementation can manifest as improved memory and cognitive function, better liver health, and potential improvements in mood and anxiety levels.

When to take it?

Take 1 capsule daily with food and water, unless specified otherwise on the sachet.
