Phosphatidylcholine

Phosphatidylcholine is a type of fat molecule that plays a crucial role in the structure of cell membranes in our bodies. It is composed of fatty acids, a phosphate group, and choline, an important nutrient. This compound helps cells maintain their shape and function, supports communication between cells, and is involved in fat metabolism. Found in high concentrations in foods like eggs, soybeans, and sunflower seeds, phosphatidylcholine is also studied for its potential benefits in liver health and cognitive function. Its presence in supplements has gained attention for possibly enhancing brain health and memory.
