Phosphatidyl Choline

Phosphatidylcholine is a key phospholipid that helps maintain healthy cell membranes and supports liver function and lipid metabolism. It may help promote liver detoxification, cognitive support (memory and focus), healthy cholesterol balance, and improved skin and digestive health.

Key Facts

  • Phosphatidyl choline is a phospholipid that forms the structural backbone of cell membranes throughout your body
  • Supports liver cell renewal and fat digestion by maintaining healthy hepatocyte membranes
  • Works as a building block for acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in cognitive function and memory
  • Available in gel cap form for consistent absorption and ease of use

Ingredients

Phosphatide complex (phosphatidylcholine) 420 mg, gelatin (bovine), purified water, and vegetable-source glycerin.

Why We Chose This

Your liver cells are constantly replacing their outer membranes, and phosphatidyl choline is the primary material they use for that job. Without adequate phosphatidyl choline, this renewal process slows down, which can compromise liver function and your body's ability to process dietary fats efficiently. Thorne's formulation delivers a clinically relevant dose in a bioavailable gel cap form, ensuring your hepatocytes get the structural support they need to keep working optimally. This aligns with a longevity-focused approach to cellular health, where maintaining membrane integrity is foundational to sustained organ function.

  • Phosphatidylcholine supplementation may attenuate non-alcoholic fatty liver disease onset. (NAFLD model)
How do I take phosphatidyl choline?

Take 1-2 capsules daily with a meal to support liver health and cellular function.

Start with the lower dose for 6-12 weeks, then adjust based on your individual needs.

Who might benefit from taking phosphatidyl choline?

People looking to support liver health and fat digestion, as well as those interested in cognitive function and cellular membrane integrity, may find phosphatidyl choline beneficial. Those with liver stress from toxins or alcohol, and pregnant individuals seeking fetal brain development support, represent key populations exploring this supplement.

How long does it typically take to notice effects of phosphatidyl choline?

Most people notice gradual improvements over 6 to 12 weeks of consistent use, though some experience benefits within the first few weeks. Individual timelines vary based on your baseline health status and how your body processes the supplement.
