One of the most important components of our cells is the cell surface membrane. It controls the movement of substances into and out of cells. It allows the cell to take in nutrients and prevents toxins from entering cells.
PPC, or phosphatidylcholine, is a type of molecule called a phospholipid. It is one of the major components of the cell surface membrane and our levels of PPC decrease with age. Reduced levels of PPC compromise the cell membrane which can lead to chronic illness so there are many benefits to replenishing it.
PPC aids in the removal of arterial plaque, reducing your risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Cholesterol Benefits
Cholesterol levels are controlled by fat and protein molecules known as lipoproteins. There are beneficial lipoproteins (HDLs) which carry cholesterol to tissues, and harmful lipoproteins (LDLs) which remove it.
The PPC infusion can improve vascular health as it lowers cholesterol by increasing the amount of good lipoproteins to treat and prevent the risk of heart conditions such as atherosclerosis.
Acetyl Choline
Additionally, PPC is a source of choline which is required by the brain to produce a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is one of the most common neurotransmitters and it important for memory, focus and cognition as well as muscular movement. The PPC infusion can mitigate the risk of neurodegenerative disorders such Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease as well as improving general mental health. In order to maximise PPC positive effect on the brain, an IV treatment is best as oral supplements cannot cross the Blood Brain Barrier in order to act on the brain.
