Did you know that our cell membrane is made of up over 70% of phospholipids and cholesterol? Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is a major phospholipid in our cell membrane and its subunits. It provides integrity and structure to the all-important membranes and regulates their fluidity. PC also provides structure to circulating lipids and is essential for lipid transport and metabolism.
Because of its ubiquitous nature, it has found applications in supporting many medical conditions because- healthy cell membrane equal healthy body. When the membrane is healthy, it improves cell signalling and neurotransmitter synthesis. There are different kinds of Phosphatidylcholines (PC) in the markets. There are PCs that contain saturated fatty acid chains, and this will have a detrimental effect on cell membranes and blood vessel walls. And there are other PCs that contain one saturated and one unsaturated fatty acid chain, which is not a beneficial form of PC either. Only the PCs with unsaturated fatty acid chains (linoleic acid) has the proven clinical benefits as described below. This PC are polyenylphosphatidylcholine PEPC or dilinoleoylphosphatidylcholine, DLPC. |
Our preparation is a "miracle molecule" that help in lowering cholesterol levels, triglyceride levels and to improve liver function. Its infusions prevent re-formation of plaque in the blood vessels after removal.
This product is available in oral capsules and also as infusions. At Zenith Medical Centre, we do not give PC as standalone but given as part of a comprehensive plan following a clinical assessment. As good as PC is, it is not good for everyone. Proper assessment is required before this infusion.
