Phosphatidyl Choline helps protect the liver against damage from alcohol, pollution, toxins, prescription and over the counter medication, mushroom poisoning, and radiation. It is very helpful in the treatment of Hepatitis B or C, PMS, menopause, uterine fibroids, fibrocystic breasts, mastitis, endometriosis, Alzheimer's disease, and brain wellness. Phosphatidyl choline (PC) is one of the most important nutrients to consume daily for optimal health. PC is found in nuts, seeds, dandelion greens, and egg yolks: foods we consume too little of to get an optimal intake of PC. Most adults do not get enough of this valuable nutrient. An inadequate intake of PC can lead to poor liver function, fatty liver, gallstone formation, premenstrual syndrome, fibroid tumors, fibrocystic breast disease, and other hormonal disorders in women, poor memory, and nerve degeneration.
Benefits of Taking PC include:
- Improves Mental Energy and Memory
- Lowers Cholesterol and Homocysteine
- Prevents Plaque Build-Up in Arteries by Optimizing Fat Metabolism
- Helps Reverse PMS, Fibroid Tumors, and Other Female Problems When Combined with Inositol
- Helps Prevent Estrogen-Related Cancers by Promoting Healthy Estrogen Metabolism
- Useful in the Treatment of Hepatitis, Fatty Liver, and Cirrhosis
- Helps Protect Liver from Damage Caused by Alcohol, Viruses, Medications, and Toxins in the Environment and Food
- Helps with Digestion and Assimilation of All Nutrients
- Slows the Aging Process by Protecting Cell Membranes from Damage
- Treatment and prevention of mastitis for breastfeeding moms

Research Review
Phosphatidyl choline (PC) is one of the most important nutrients to consume daily for optimal health. PC is found in nuts, seeds, dandelion greens, and egg yolks: foods we consume too little of to get an optimal intake of PC. Most adults do not get enough of this valuable nutrient. An inadequate intake of PC can lead to:
- Poor liver function/fatty liver
- Gallstone formation
- Premenstrual syndrome, fibroid tumors, fibrocystic beast disease, and other hormonal disorders in women
- Poor memory
- Nerve degeneration
What makes PC so valuable? PC is the basic building block of the membranes of every cell in the body. Without PC, cells age faster and do not function optimally. PC also helps encourage healthy fat metabolism by emulsifying fat. Taking PC has a dramatic impact on our health, particularly the health of the liver.
THE LIVER NUTRIENT
PC is the single most important nutrient for promoting liver health. PC helps the liver do many of its jobs better: nutrient assimilation, hormone balancing, and toxin elimination. PC protects the liver against the damage caused by alcohol, pollutants, viruses, medications, mushroom poisoning, and radiation treatment. PC is very valuable in the treatment of the forms of hepatitis. [1]
THE ULTIMATE WOMAN’S HEALTH NUTRIENT
PC can help alleviate many estrogen related problems by enabling the liver to convert estradiol—the stronger form of estrogen-to estriol, a more benign form of estrogen. PC is therefore helpful in managing problems related to female hormone imbalance including PMS, uterine fibroids, fibrocystic breast syndrome, and endometriosis. Such problems usually improve dramatically after a month or two of using PC with inositol and other liver supporting nutrients. protecting cell membranes from damage
THE ARTERY PROTECTOR
PC lowers plasma homocysteine levels [2] which when elevated can increase our risk to heart and artery disease. PC also increases cells’ sensitivity to insulin, which is very important for the prevention and treatment of heart disease as well as diabetes. [3] PC also mildly lowers blood pressure in hypertensives. It can also help protect the body against the damaging effects of stress.
THE MEMORY ENHANCER
PC helps the brain make one it’s most important chemical messengers, acetylcholine. Acetylcholine travels between nerve cells, creating and calling up memories. Many people notice better memory function when taking PC. PC may also be useful in treating Alzheimer’s Disease; an ailment caused by acetylcholine deficiency.4 PC can also be useful in the treatment of tardive dyskinesia, colitis5 and malaria.6
HOW TO TAKE PHOSPHATIDYL CHOLINE
Lecithin and phosphatidyl choline are one and the same. PC is available in softgel or granule form. Make sure to use triple strength lecithin granules that contain 55% PC for best results. Take one teaspoon per day with a meal for promoting general health. After week, increase the dose to one tablespoon per day if needed. 1-2 Tbsp. should be used for promoting female hormonal health, and larger doses should be used when treating hepatitis and other serious ailments. PC is best taken with a meal and with other supplements as PC increases the absorption of all nutrients. Research shows that PC is highly bioavailable—it is nearly 90% absorbed. PC is safe for long term use.
