Description

Phos Choline transmits phospholipids that 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 mainly produced by the liver. Normal levels of phosphatidylcholine can prevent hepatic lipid accumulation since phosphatidylcholine is required for the production and secretion of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), which transport triglycerides from the liver. Phosphatidylcholine can lead to an accumulation of VLDL and triglycerides in the liver, which negatively affects liver function and health. Recent in vitro assays have shown that hepatocytes can also overproduce free radicals when in a choline-deficient environment; excess production of reactive oxygen species can damage DNA and impair liver function. In a randomized, double-blind trial, 57 healthy adults were fed 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 for all participants within six weeks.
