The Liver – Central Organ of Lipid Metabolism

A healthy liver is essential for a well-functioning fat metabolism.
A disturbance can lead to the accumulation of fats and result in fatty liver disease. Especially the non-alcoholic form (NAFLD) is very common in industrial countries due to the Western Style Diet and a lack of physical activity. The prevalence for NAFLD is increasing but, fortunately, the storage of fat is reversible. Therefore, choosing nutrients with hepatoprotective properties becomes more and more important.

The Importance of Phosphatidylcholine

Dietary and supplemented PC supports liver function in a natural way by regulating the fat metabolisms. In addition, polyunsaturated phospholipids (PPL) are very popular for liver protection. In several clinical studies their antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties could be shown.

PC is also a safe and natural source of the vitamin-like substance choline. The EFSA-approved health claims illustrate the importance of the nutrient.

Lipoid offers a wide range of products enriched in polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine. Various forms of application, like capsules or innovative liquid solutions, are possible. Due to the emulsifying properties of phospholipids the formulations are mixable with any kind of beverages. To find a suitable application for liver protecting PC just ask for our support and guidance.

PPL with high phosphatidylcholine content are the natural solution for a healthy liver.
