Sharpens mental function
Phosphatidylcholine has shown cognitive-enhancing abilities. Phosphatidylcholine is also a natural lipid component of lecithin which performs functions in cholesterol reduction and liver health that choline alone does not do. Each softgel capsule contains 385 mg of phosphatidyl choline.
In recent years, interest has been renewed into the health benefits and dietary requirements for choline and/or lecithin. Growing evidence now suggests that dietary choline and lecithin are very important for the prevention of many pathologic conditions, and both have been used as a dietary supplement for the purpose of treating or preventing several human diseases including cirrhosis of the liver, arteriosclerosis and certain deficiencies of brain function and memory.
Lecithin and its component phosphatidylcholine are known to be essential for liver function. In fact, even a few weeks on a choline-deficient diet has been shown to cause abnormalities in liver function. Studies in primate models of alcohol-induced cirrhosis have shown that lecithin, but not choline, protects from alcohol liver damage. This is a particularly important finding, since liver cirrhosis caused by excessive intake of alcohol is the fourth-leading cause of death in people 25 to 64 years of age in the U.S.
Choline and lecithin have also been shown to be essential for proper brain development in infants and children. In fact, supplementation of animal diets with choline or lecithin at particular times of brain development has been shown to permanently increase cognitive function.
Recommended dosage: One to three per day.
