Phosphatidylcholine (PC)
The raw material your liver cells need to rebuild their outer walls. At therapeutic doses in Renew (700mg) and supportive doses in Lite (150mg).
What phosphatidylcholine does for your liver
Every cell in your body has an outer wall (membrane) made mostly of phospholipids. Phosphatidylcholine is the most common type. When fatty liver damages your liver cells, these walls become leaky and fragile.
PC provides the exact building material your liver cells need to patch and rebuild their membranes. Think of it as providing bricks to repair a damaged wall.
PC also helps move fat out of the liver by packaging it into lipoproteins — molecules that transport fat through your bloodstream to be used elsewhere. This dual action (repair + fat transport) is why PC is a core ingredient in liver support formulations.

What you might experience
What you might experience
Mild stomach discomfort, fishy body odour (if metabolised to trimethylamine in some people), or loose stools. Taking with food prevents most issues.
Diarrhoea at high doses. More common above 1,000mg/day — not a concern at our 150–700mg range.
Duration of use
Can be taken long-term. PC is a natural component of food (eggs, soybeans, sunflower seeds) and has no accumulation or tolerance issues. In Lite, designed for indefinite use. In Renew, used for 3–6 month courses.
Situations where this ingredient is not appropriate
Soy allergy (batch-dependent): PC can be sourced from either sunflower or soy lecithin — it depends on the manufacturing batch. If you have a confirmed soy allergy, check the allergen label on your pack or contact us to confirm the source for your batch.
Pregnant or breastfeeding: PC is naturally present in food and is generally considered safe. However, consult your obstetrician before taking supplemental doses.
Trimethylaminuria (fish odour syndrome): Very rare genetic condition. People with TMAU may notice increased fishy body odour from choline-containing supplements. If you have this condition, consult your doctor.
