In a multi-centered, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted in Germany, investigators reported that polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine helped support liver health and was well tolerated. PC also plays a significant role in the healthy transport and metabolism of lipids (fats) and lipid carrier molecules.
