Physical and chemical properties
Soluble in organic solvents such as n-hexane, ether, ethanol, and methanol. It can also be soluble in water to form a colloidal solution. It is insoluble in acetone and has no clear melting point.
Phosphatidylcholine extracted from soybeans is rich in unsaturated fatty acids. During storage, it is easily affected by light, temperature, etc. and deteriorates. However, phosphatidylcholine, like other phospholipids, appears to be very stable after being concentrated with oil. Phosphatidylcholine can remove 1-position fatty acid under the action of phospholipase AI to generate lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) with stronger emulsifying ability.
Function and effect
1. Promote brain health
Phosphatidylcholine's role in cell membrane integrity and intracellular communication has stimulated various studies in the field of neurological sciences. Although research is limited, there is evidence that phosphatidylcholine supplementation may help relieve symptoms of conditions associated with low acetylcholine levels, such as:
Schizophrenia
bipolar disorder
Huntington's disease
tourette syndrome
Alzheimer's disease
2. Protect liver health
Phosphatidylcholine is required for the formation and repair of cell membranes and optimal liver function.
According to research, phosphatidylcholine plays a vital role in preventing and treating various liver diseases. Phosphatidylcholine protects liver cells from viral damage, reduces fibrosis, and prevents cell death caused by drugs, alcohol, and other substances.
Several studies have also reported that phosphatidylcholine has preventive and therapeutic effects in patients with hepatitis A, B, and C. Phosphatidylcholine treatment of chronic active hepatitis can significantly reduce disease activity
Studies have also reported that choline supplementation can reverse hepatic steatosis, or fatty liver disease, in individuals with choline deficiency.
3. Promote gut health
Phosphatidylcholine is a lipid found in the protective mucus layer of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and may reduce GI damage due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
According to research, phosphatidylcholine inhibits pro-inflammatory chemicals and may be used to treat ulcerative colitis. New data also suggest that phosphatidylcholine may protect the stomach and intestinal lining from the harmful effects of NSAIDs.
4. Can improve heart health
Phosphatidylcholine circulates in the blood as a key component of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), a type of good cholesterol that enhances cardiovascular health and reduces the risk of atherosclerosis. Research shows that supplementing with phosphatidylcholine can help stabilize HDL levels and prevent heart disease such as clogged arteries.
5. Can improve sports performance
There is some evidence that supplementing with phosphatidylcholine as a workout supplement can improve athletic performance.
The availability of choline for the production of acetylcholine is critical for optimal muscle activity. Phosphatidylcholine supplementation before strenuous exercise can increase plasma choline concentrations, thereby improving exercise performance.
6. Promotes a healthy pregnancy
Phosphatidylcholine supports the healthy growth of your unborn baby's lungs and pulmonary surfactant. However, talk to your doctor before taking phosphatidylcholine during pregnancy.
7. Promote skin health
Phosphatidylcholine, along with saturated fatty acids like palmitic acid and stearic acid, can help maintain the skin's natural moisture barrier. Saturated phosphatidylcholine, found in many creams, replicates the skin's two-layer structure and offers the following benefits:
8. Help skin regeneration
Support skin barrier function
Prevent keratinization
Keep skin soft
