Phosphatidylcholine — Liver, Bile, and Cell-Membrane Support
Phosphatidylcholine, or PC, is a main building block of cell membranes, and the liver uses a lot of it. Thorne's Phosphatidyl Choline is, in Thorne's words, "an excellent source of choline for liver support, cholesterol metabolism, and healthy bile."*
Who I Reach For This With
- People who feel heavy or uncomfortable after fatty meals and want bile support
- Liver-support protocols under practitioner care
- People who want a source of choline in the form of phosphatidylcholine
- Membrane-support layers in brain-focused protocols
What Makes This Form Different
- 420 mg of phosphatidylcholine per gelcap, 60 gelcaps per bottle
- Choline delivered as phosphatidylcholine, the form found in cell membranes
- Thorne: supports "liver cell protection from toxin damage"*
What Thorne Says It Supports*
- Liver support*
- Cholesterol metabolism*
- Healthy bile*
- Liver cell protection from toxin damage*
- Decreased dietary cholesterol absorption*
How It Fits Into a Protocol
PC pairs with Hepato-Synergy in broader liver work, and with HCL Pro-Zyme when upper digestion needs attention too. In brain-focused protocols it sits alongside Brain-E DHA, since PC and DHA are both important membrane lipids.
