Description

The liver performs many important functions, including processing nutrients, converting sugars to glycogen stores, producing hormones, clearing old blood cells, and detoxifying the body.

Modern lifestyle extol a great stress on the liver so it is important that we can help it to function at its best.

The chemical structure of an extract from soybeans called PPC (poly-enylphosphatidylcholine) corresponds to that of endogenous phospholipids in the cell membranes.

It is believed that PPC’s beneficial effect is based on its ability to be incorporated into liver cell membranes to help restore its structure and the functioning of corresponding enzymes.^23-25 This results in an increase in membrane fluidity and transport activity across the membrane.

PPC is also incorporated into blood lipoproteins, helping to extend its benefits beyond the liver to promote arterial health.

Mounting evidence suggests that PPC supplementation beneficially supports the critical process of reverse cholesterol transport. This process is a well-documented function of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) that involves the transport of cholesterol from the arterial walls to the liver for processing.^26,27

Research also supports PPC’s critical role in helping to reduce LDL oxidation.^28,29 In fact, a growing body of research shows that PPC can help maintain healthy lipoprotein profiles in those already within normal range.³⁰

Phoschol contains purified pharmaceutical grade PPC (polyenylphosphatidylcholine). Each 600 mg PPC vegetarian capsule is well-absorbed when taken orally and has no known contraindications, side effects, or drug interactions.
