Phos Choline

- Phospholipid formula derived from lecithin
- Each daily dose contains 2880 mg of phospholipids
- Supports liver health
Phos Choline transmits phospholipids helping to support liver function. Phosphatidylcholine is the main phospholipid (also known as phosphatide) found in lecithin.
It is an important component of cell membranes and contains a high concentration of hepatocytes. All lipoproteins are rich in phosphatidylcholine and are mainly produced by the liver. Normal phosphatidylcholine levels can prevent hepatic lipid accumulation since phosphatidylcholine is necessary for the production and secretion of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), which transport triglycerides from the liver. Phosphatidylcholines can lead to accumulation of VLDL and triglycerides in the liver, which negatively affects liver function and health. Recent in vitro tests have demonstrated that hepatocytes can also overproduce free radicals when they are in an environment with choline deficiencies; Excess production of reactive oxygen species can damage DNA and impair liver function. In a double-blind randomized trial, 57 healthy adults adopted a diet low in choline. After six weeks of depletion, fatty liver, liver damage and muscle damage were observed in 68% of participants. When choline was restored to the diet, organ dysfunction was corrected for all participants within six weeks.
