What are Phospholipids?
Phospholipids are the primary building blocks of cellular membranes. These membranes are the “containers” that hold the living matter within each cell.

What do Phospholipids do?
In addition to functioning as a skin for each cell — keeping the insides in and the outsides out — phospholipid membranes provide protection from chemicals and pathogens that can derail and/or destroy the necessary life functions that take place within each cell. While performing this function, phospholipid membranes are subject to constant attack from free radicals (oxidants), pathogens, and toxins.
Why do I Need Dietary Phospholipids?
In order to repair the structural damage caused by the continual barrage of toxic substances and pathogens, your body requires a constant supply of phospholipids.
The body can synthesize some phospholipid compounds but others must be supplied by the diet. Phospholipids that can only be obtained through dietary intake are called essential phospholipids.
WHAT IS PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE?
One of the most important and prominent phospholipids in cell membranes is called phosphatidylcholine.
Intact phosphatidylcholine — as well as its essential fatty acid and choline components — is required for many vital functions in the cardiovascular, reproductive, immune, and nervous systems. You need it to make the chemical messengers that let your brain communicate with the rest of your body. Unfortunately, phosphatidylcholine content in cell membranes declines with age, necessitating a constant supply from food and supplements.
livon LIPOSOMES support cellular health
The liposomes used for Lypo-Spheric® supplements are made from essential phospholipids that include a high percentage of phosphatidylcholine. These liposomes not only provide optimum protection and superior transport for the Lypo-Spheric® nutrients, they also help satisfy the body’s need for choline.
WHAT DOES PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE DO?
Intact PC — as well as its essential fatty acid and choline components — is required for many vital functions in the cardiovascular, reproductive, immune, and nervous systems. You need it to make the chemical messengers that let your brain communicate with the rest of your body.
WHY DO PHOSPHOLIPIDS
MAKE IDEAL LIPOSOMES?
At the basic level, phospholipids are a phosphate group (phospho) attached to fatty acids (lipids) by means of a glycerol group.
Unlike phosphates, which are attracted to water (hydrophilic), fatty acids are repelled by water (hydrophobic). It is this very love/hate relationship with water that allows phospholipids to form cellular membranes — and liposomes as well.
As phospholipids are exposed to water-based solutions, they automatically align themselves in a double-layer (bilayer) configuration – phosphates toward the water and fatty acids away from the water.

WHY SOY LECITHIN?
The phospholipids suitable for making strong, stable liposomes must have a mix of phospholipids, including a significant amount of Phosphatidylcholine (PC) and Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). Non-GMO soy lecithin yields the phospholipids that fit this requirement.
Phospholipids derived from soy lecithin are highly purified and refined, and do not pose the risks associated with high intake of unrefined soy.
