Phospholipid formula derived from lecithin Each daily dose contains 2880 mg of phospholipids Supports liver health Phos Choline delivers phospholipids to help 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 primarily produced by the liver. Normal phosphatidylcholine levels can prevent the accumulation of liver lipids since phosphatidylcholine is necessary for the production and secretion of very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), which transport triglycerides from the liver. Low phosphatidylcholine levels can lead to an accumulation of VLDL and triglycerides in the liver, negatively affecting liver function and health. Recent in vitro trials have shown that hepatocytes can also overproduce free radicals when in a choline-deficient environment; excess reactive oxygen species production can damage DNA and impair liver function. In a randomized double-blind trial, 57 healthy adults were placed on a choline-deficient diet. After six weeks of depletion, hepatic steatosis, liver damage, and muscle damage were observed in 68% of participants. When choline was restored to the diet, organ dysfunction was corrected in all participants within six weeks.
