Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is a phospholipid that is an important component of all cell membranes. The body makes a brain chemical called acetylcholine from phosphatidylcholine. Acetylcholine is important for memory and other bodily functions. In order to keep the blood brain barrier functioning optimally it is important to have lipids, such as choline to stabilize the cell membrane that regulates the brain. If we destabilize this membrane then we can have decreased focus and memory. Phospholipids can be very healing to the brain by returning the lipid layer to its natural state.

Utilizing PC in the body, and especially intravenously, can help improve brain function and memory and even support conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease. We have seen remarkable success in memory and focus for patients receiving IV Phosphatidylcholine at Boulder Integrative Health. When given with IV Glutathione, PC will help glutathione cross the blood brain barrier and help clear out toxins, chemicals, mycotoxins from mold, and support any oxidative damage. We like to call it an oil change for your brain!
