Phosphatidyl Choline | Designs for Health | 180 Softgels 420 mg

Phosphatidyl Choline by Designs for Health? Phosphatidyl Choline helps protect the liver against damage from alcohol, pollution, toxins, prescription and over the counter medication, mushroom poisoning, and radiation.

It is known that alcoholism damages the liver, but what other toxic substances are there that will do damage? The most common agent is probably acetaminophen (Tylenol although it is contained in many OTC medications). It probably remains the safest medication for fevers, aches and pains, but only taken in small recommended amounts. Large amounts, greater than those recommended, can result in liver damage or failure. Acetaminophen overdose is a common reason for considering a transplant. A more serious problem, however, occurs in patients who drink alcohol on a daily basis, particularly more than 2 drinks, in those situations, normal doses of Tylenol 3 – 4 times a day can produce severe liver damage. The same problem can occur in patients with the other liver diseases such as viral hepatitis. Additionally more common toxins tend to be those that are inhaled, such as cleaning solvents, aerosolized paints, thinners, etc. Again, these are more dangerous if there is a preexisting underlying liver condition.

Phosphatidyl Choline (PC) is one of the most important nutrients to consume daily for optimal health. Phosphatidyl choline (PC) is a fat-soluble substance known as a phospholipid. Phospholipids are essential components of cell membranes.

Phosphatidyl Choline role in the maintenance of cell membrane integrity is vital to all of the basic biological processes: information flow, intracellular communication, and bioenergetics. PC is found in nuts, seeds, dandelion greens, and egg yolks: foods we consume too little of to get an optimal intake of Phosphatidyl Choline.

Most adults do not get enough of this valuable nutrient. An inadequate intake of Phosphatidyl Choline 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. In addition to providing choline needed for cell membrane integrity, Phosphatidyl Choline is also an essential component of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter required for normal brain activity. Although the human body can synthesize choline, additional amounts from the diet are considered essential under certain circumstances.
