Liver Benifits of polyenylphosphatidylcholine vs Just phosphatidylcholine

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone, its my first time posting in this group.

I have recently been reading about supplements that are helpful for

liver problems and am interested in polyenyl-phosphatidylcholine

(ppc) also called polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine, which is even

mentioned in the Physician's Desk Reference. PPC is supposed to

promote the breakdown of collagen in the liver, which can interfere

with normal detoxification processes.

I have found a source of PPC, from www.lef.org, but it is very

expensive. I have also found a similar product by NSI at

vitacost.com that contains just phosphatidylcholine without the

polyenyl prefix and is a lot less expensive. Both sources are

derived from soy beans so I am thinkinng they are likely pretty

similar. Anyone know if these things are basically the same in

terms of their benefits to

the liver.

Any other suggestion of supplements and formulas to protect the

liver?

Thanks for any info you all can give,
