Phosphatidylcholine is a member of a class
of compounds called the phospholipids.
Polyenylphosphatidylcholine (PPC) is a
phospholipid naturally occurring in soy
lecithin. Phospholipids normally contain
two fatty acids and a phosphate group.
Polyenyl means that at least one of the two
fatty acid tails is polyunsaturated. Phospholipids form a structure called a lipid bilayer,
a two-ply sheet of phospholipid molecules
in which the hydrophilic (water-soluble)
head groups face outward and are in contact with the water, and the hydrophobic
(non-water-soluble) tails face each other on
the inside of the bilayer. This structure is
one of the key constituents of the cell membranes that surround every living cell.
Cellular Membrane Fluidity
Phosphatidylcholine is the main structural
support of cell membranes. Comprising 40
percent of total membrane phospholipids,
PPC’s presence is important for regulation
of membrane fluidity. Maintaining membrane fluidity is crucial because the membrane is central to the majority of cellular
activities. Research has shown that PPC
plays an important role in maintaining
membrane integrity in all types of cells,
including liver, stomach, and pancreas.
Liver Health
Clinical studies have demonstrated that
choline is essential for normal liver function. Choline is a water-soluble B vitamin
that can be produced in the body, but it is
often produced in insufficient quantities,
making it necessary for humans to get
choline from the diet or through supplementation. Phosphatidylcholine is a better
delivery form and is also more tolerable
than choline.
In numerous double blind human trials,
phosphatidylcholine has proven effective
against liver damage. Clinical studies suggest that PPC restructures cell membranes,
normalizes cellular permeability, improves
cell metabolism and stimulates hepatocyte
regeneration. In vitro studies have shown
that polyunsaturated phospholipids
increase hepatic collagenase activity and
may help prevent fibrosis and cirrhosis by
encouraging collagen breakdown.
Healthy Brain Function
One of the most important functions of
PPC is its role in the formation and release
of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that is
critical for proper thought and memory
processes. The choline used by brain neurons mainly comes from lecithin found in
all neural cells or from dietary sources of
choline, including dietary PPC. Studies
show that PPC ingestion increases choline
levels in the blood and brain, and supports
acetylcholine synthesis for proper neuronal
and cell function.
PHOSCHOL® PPC has many health benefits. Clinical studies have shown that PPC
helps manage and sustain healthy lipid levels. It is also the main functional constituent of the GI tract’s acid barrier, as
well as the primary phospholipid in bile,
allowing for the breakdown, absorption,
and transport of fats.
Taking personal responsibility for your
health is at the heart of the Wellness Revolution. At Source Naturals we are committed to bringing you the finest nutrients
modern research has to offer. PHOSCHOL®
PPC is an important addition to our line
of products designed to help you live a
longer, healthier life.

hospholipids are the building blocks for your cell
membranes-the protective

A cell’s membranes are its essence.
They regulate the majority of the
activities that make up life. A
good balance of phospholipids in
your diet provides building blocks
for healthy cells, but an imbalance can lead to health concerns.
Source Naturals introduces PHOSCHOL® PPC, an all-natural,
soy-derived, 100 percent pure source of polyenylphosphatidylcholine (PPC). PPC is a
phospholipid found in certain foods and in
every cell of your body. It is an integral part
of cell membranes, essential for their structural and functional integrity. Studies show
that PPC helps to maintain and improve
membrane fluidity, supports healthy brain
function, and supports healthy liver, pancreas, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal
health. Make PHOSCHOL® PPC part of your
health plan for more complete nutrition.
