The clinical use of phosphatidylcholine

Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is a phospholipid integral to maintaining the structure and fluidity of a cell membrane. Additionally, PC provides structure to circulating lipoproteins and is essential for lipid transport and metabolism.1 PC is as an essential component of bile, facilitating fat emulsification, absorption and transport and is an important constituent of surfactants in the body, including those of the lungs and gastrointestinal tract, offering protection to epithelial-luminal interfaces.2
