Phosphatidylcholine - 450 mg

Phosphatidylcholine is a concentrated form of lecithin, but is much more potent and has a longer shelf life than lecithin alone.

Phosphatidylcholine, derived from lecithin, is a source of choline, an essential nutrient recently recognized as a vitamin by the Dutch Health Council. Previously, choline was often referred to as vitamin B8, but it was not officially recognized as such.

It is an important component of cell membranes and plays a role as a pulmonary surfactant, mainly found in the outer leaflet of cell membranes.

Phosphatidylcholine is thought to be transported between cell membranes by the phosphatidylcholine transfer protein (PCTP).

It is also an essential element of cell membranes and affects the functions of the brain and liver.

In the brain, phosphatidylcholine is a precursor to acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter important for cognition and motor coordination.

In the digestive system, phosphatidylcholine is part of the bile complex, which emulsifies fats to facilitate the absorption of fats and fat-soluble nutrients. This also supports healthy liver function.

Advantages:

• Choline contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism
• Choline contributes to the maintenance of normal liver function
• Choline contributes to the maintenance of the structure of cell membranes
