HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Phosphatidyl Choline PC Liver & Brain Benefits by ProCaps Laboratories

Four independent checks of what is known — a summary of the available information, not a grade of the product itself.

Evidence for Intended Use
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
Not assessable

The stated purpose hasn't been mapped to our evidence data yet.

Why this rating?
  • We haven't mapped this product's purpose to our evidence data yet — it'll be graded on the next content refresh.
Ingredient Transparency
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 6 of its 6 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.
Known Interaction Concern
Minor only

Only Minor-severity interactions are documented for these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Choline.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Minor.
  • For scale: 16 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.
Safety Information
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 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

HelloPharmacist summaryFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Assessment coverage: 3 of 6 active ingredients matched to our full ingredient reviews (monographs). Based on the product label dated Jan 25, 2012.

General Statements

2010 ProCaps Laboratories

Andrew Lessman’s Phosphatidyl Choline LIVER AND BRAIN BENEFITS provides a concentrated source of Phosphatidyl Choline, which is the most abundant phospholipid in the body – particularly the liver and brain. Although the body can produce Choline, our dietary contribution of this nutrient has decreased, so the U.S. Food and Drug Administration now recognizes Choline as essential. Choline plays a vital role in a multitude of processes throughout the body, including the health of the nervous and cardiovascular systems, the integrity of cell membranes, as well as the growth of healthy hair. Phosphatidyl Choline is a precursor and necessary raw material for the production of two vital components of the nervous system, Acetylcholine (a vital neurotransmitter) and Sphingomyelin (required for nerve cell protection). Both are absolutely essential for the normal, healthy functioning of the nervous system and brain. Given this role, it is not surprising that Phosphatidyl Choline has been observed to help with the mild memory problems associated with aging. Phosphatidyl Choline is also the most prominent component in the liver’s complex array of membranes and makes up almost two-thirds of the more than 355,000 square feet of the liver’s total functional surface area. Phosphatidyl Choline is absolutely essential to the performance of the liver’s vital role of cleansing the body’s internal environment and processing and excreting chemical waste products, including most medicines and alcohol. It is also required for the transport and metabolism of fats and cholesterol within the body. Phosphatidyl Choline is absolutely unique in its prominence in both the brain and liver and the essential role it plays in the healthy functioning of each of these two vital organs.

Choline1 drug type · 16 drugs

Atropine

Theoretically, choline might decrease the effects of atropine in the brain.
Animal research shows that administering choline one hour before administering atropine can attenuate atropine-induced decreases in brain levels of acetylcholine. Theoretically, concomitant use of choline and atropine may decrease the effects of atropine.
