Supplement
Phosphatidylcholine
SavePhosphatidylcholine is a major phospholipid in cell membranes and a source of choline, supporting liver function and cell membrane integrity.
Quick verdict
Solid evidence for liver support and choline delivery; cognitive benefits are less clear than those of other choline forms.
Evidence score
A rough internal score reflecting quantity, quality, and consistency of human evidence. Not a clinical recommendation.
What the research shows
Well-studied for fatty liver disease and as a choline source. Clinical trials support hepatoprotective effects. Cognitive data is mixed.
Benefits
- Supports liver health and fat metabolism
- Provides bioavailable choline
- Maintains cell membrane integrity
Dosage notes
840–2400 mg daily. Often derived from soy or sunflower lecithin.
Side effects
- GI upset at high doses
- Fishy body odor
- Diarrhea
Who should be cautious
Generally safe. High doses may cause fishy body odor due to trimethylamine production.
What this page cannot tell you
Less efficient at raising brain acetylcholine than alpha-GPC or CDP-choline. Quality varies by lecithin source.
