HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Phosphatidyl Choline 1200 mg by Double Wood Supplements

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • “Phosphatidyl Choline Complex” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1,200 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains one active ingredient: phosphatidylcholine at 1200 mg per softgel capsule. Phosphatidylcholine is a naturally occurring compound that's part of cell membranes and is found in foods like egg yolks and soybeans.

The capsule itself is made with gelatin, glycerin, and purified water — standard inactive ingredients that help deliver the active component.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: memory and cognitive function and liver health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Memory, Dementia, Alzheimer disease, Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), Hepatic encephalopathy, Ulcerative colitis — and 3 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Phosphatidylcholine is rated "Possibly Effective" for Ulcerative colitis (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Phosphatidylcholine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Alzheimer disease, Hepatic encephalopathy, Memory, Dementia, and more.

Phosphatidylcholine is possibly effective for ulcerative colitis (inflammatory bowel condition). For nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, alcohol-related liver disease, Alzheimer disease, and anxiety, the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate whether it works.

That doesn't mean it doesn't help — it means the current research isn't strong enough for us to say either way.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Phosphatidylcholine

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Phosphatidylcholine is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth. The most common side effects are altered taste, bloating, diarrhea, nausea, itching, sweating, and vomiting — especially if you take a large dose.

Very high doses (like 30 grams daily) are more likely to cause stomach upset and loose stool. Choline is actually needed during pregnancy, but the safety of taking it as a supplement beyond what you get from food hasn't been well studied.

The same goes for breastfeeding — there isn't enough reliable data. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding and want to take this.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Phosphatidylcholine

Meds to double-check

Known Interaction Concern · database check

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for phosphatidylcholine. However, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product to your routine — they know your full health picture and can confirm it's a good fit for you.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Phosphatidyl Choline 1200 mg may be worth considering if you have ulcerative colitis or are interested in its other potential roles, though the evidence for most uses is still being worked out. It's generally well tolerated but can cause digestive upset at higher doses.

If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking any medications, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Phosphatidyl Choline 1200 mg by Double Wood Supplements: Common Questions

Does Phosphatidyl Choline 1200 mg by Double Wood Supplements interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Phosphatidyl Choline 1200 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Phosphatidyl Choline 1200 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What exactly is phosphatidylcholine?
It's a naturally occurring compound found in cell membranes and in foods like eggs and soybeans. Your body makes it too — it's not a foreign chemical. In this product it comes in supplement form at 1200 mg per capsule.
What side effects should I expect?
Most common are altered taste, bloating, diarrhea, nausea, itching, sweating, and vomiting — especially at higher doses. These are usually mild. Very high doses (30 grams daily) are more likely to cause stomach upset. If you notice side effects, try taking a lower dose or talk with your pharmacist.
Is it safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Your body does need choline during pregnancy, but we don't have enough reliable data on supplement safety beyond food sources during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist to decide what's right for you.
Does this actually work for ulcerative colitis?
It's possibly effective for ulcerative colitis based on the data we hold — meaning there's some evidence but it's not a slam dunk. For other uses like fatty liver disease and Alzheimer disease, the evidence we have is insufficient to say whether it works.
Will this interact with my medications?
No interactions are documented for phosphatidylcholine in our data. Still, it's smart to check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding any supplement to your routine, just to be sure it fits your whole picture.
