Introduction
Phosphatidyl choline (PC) is a member of a class of compounds called the phospholipids. Phospholipids form lipid bilayers, which are a major part of the structure of cell membranes. The role that choline and phosphatidyl choline play in the formation and structure of cell membranes throughout the body is extremely important. For example, a mother's supply of choline and phosphatidyl choline can become depleted during pregnancy and lactation because of the infant's need for these nutrients. In fact, adequate levels of these cholinergic agents are critically important for the normal brain development of a fetus.(1) Phosphatidyl choline can also be a source of choline that the body can use for the production of acetylcholine, which is a neurotransmitter that is critical for proper thought and memory processes.

Reported Uses

Phosphatidyl choline (PC) is a building block of liver cells. PC potentially helps the liver to recover after damage from alcohol, pollutants, viruses, and other toxic agents.(2) Phosphatidyl choline is one of the primary ingredients in lecithin. Lecithin was studied in patients with elevated cholesterol and elevated triglycerides. Patients who took soya lecithin daily for three months had reduced their total cholesterol and triglycerides, and also increased their HDL-cholesterol, the "good" cholesterol.(3)

Long-term steroid treatment is discouraged in ulcerative colitis but there is no other alternative when other treatments fail. At the end of 12 weeks of phosphatidylcholine supplementation, 80 percent of patients suffering from chronic steroid- refractory ulcerative colits were able to discontinue steroid therapy.(4)

The results from several scientifically designed trials indicate that individuals with manic depression, also known as bipolar disorder, respond to therapy with phosphatidyl choline.(5),(6)
