Thorne Phosphatidyl Choline

Phosphatidylcholine makes up a large share of every cell membrane in the body, and the liver depends on a steady supply of it to keep replacing damaged cell membranes as part of normal turnover. Athletes who train at high volume, take several supplements daily, or reach for NSAIDs regularly put steady extra demand on that turnover process.

Thorne Phosphatidyl Choline delivers 420mg of phosphatidylcholine per gelcap, drawn from a soy phosphatide complex, giving you a dedicated dose rather than the smaller amount you'd get as a side ingredient in another formula.

A dedicated dose, not a delivery vehicle – Some products use phosphatidylcholine mainly to help another ingredient absorb better. This gelcap delivers it as the primary ingredient at a meaningful dose on its own.

Supports liver cell membrane integrity – Phosphatidylcholine is a structural component of liver cell membranes specifically, helping support the cell membrane replacement that keeps liver tissue functioning normally.

A source of choline for more than just the liver – Choline is also a building block for acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in memory and cognitive function, so this covers ground beyond liver support alone.

Phosphatidylcholine is also a major constituent of bile, which your body needs to metabolize fats, and it has the potential to decrease the absorption of dietary cholesterol, supporting normal cholesterol levels as a second mechanism alongside its role in liver cell membranes. Beyond the liver, phosphatidylcholine circulates as part of the lipids in your bloodstream and gets used throughout the body wherever cell membranes need rebuilding, including supporting resilience against everyday toxin exposure like alcohol. Multiple clinical trials have studied phosphatidylcholine's effect on liver tissue, with findings pointing toward faster rebuilding of liver cell membranes.

How to Use Thorne Phosphatidyl Choline

Dose: Take one gelcap two to three times daily, or as recommended by your health professional.

Note: Consider taking it consistently during stretches when you're relying on multiple daily supplements or over-the-counter pain relief, since that's when the liver's workload tends to be highest.
