What Is Phosphatidylcholine Infusion?

Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is a vital phospholipid—a major component of cell membranes, especially in the brain, liver, and cardiovascular system. It's naturally found in foods like eggs, soybeans, and sunflower seeds, but intravenous (IV) phosphatidylcholine infusion delivers it directly into the bloodstream for enhanced therapeutic effects.

Clinically, phosphatidylcholine infusions are used in integrative and regenerative medicine to support cellular repair, detoxification, liver function, and vascular health. One of the most valuable emerging uses is in improving blood perfusion—the circulation of blood through tissues and organs.

 
How Phosphatidylcholine Improves Blood Perfusion

Blood perfusion is the flow of blood through the smallest vessels (capillaries), which is essential for delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues. When perfusion is impaired (due to inflammation, vascular plaque, or endothelial dysfunction), it can contribute to:

Fatigue
Brain fog
Cold hands/feet
Organ damage
Poor healing

Phosphatidylcholine infusions help improve perfusion by:

1. Repairing Endothelial Cells
The endothelium (inner lining of blood vessels) controls vascular tone and blood flow. PC helps:

Restore membrane integrity of damaged endothelial cells
Improve elasticity and function of blood vessels
Reduce inflammation in the vascular wall
This is especially helpful in conditions like atherosclerosis, diabetes, or chronic inflammation.
 
2. Enhancing Microcirculation
Phosphatidylcholine improves capillary blood flow by:

Reducing blood viscosity (thickness)
Supporting nitric oxide production, which dilates vessels
Improving red blood cell flexibility, so they pass more easily through tiny vessels
This results in:

Better oxygen delivery to tissues
Improved nutrient transport
Enhanced waste removal
 
3. Reducing Lipid Accumulation and Plaque
IV phosphatidylcholine helps:

Emulsify and remove cholesterol and fatty deposits from vessel walls
Prevent LDL oxidation, which contributes to arterial plaque
Support liver function in fat metabolism
This leads to cleaner arteries and better perfusion throughout the body.

 
4. Mitochondrial and Cellular Support
Healthy blood flow is only useful if cells can use the oxygen delivered. PC:

Supports mitochondrial membranes (energy production)
Enhances ATP generation
Helps regenerate damaged or stressed cells
This is particularly important in the brain, heart, muscles, and kidneys, where energy demand is high.

 
Conditions that  benefit from PC Infusion Therapy
Atherosclerosis / poor circulation
Diabetes-related vascular damage
Neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer’s, MS)
Fatty liver disease
Chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia
Lyme disease or chronic infections
Post-stroke recovery
Long COVID (vascular and cellular damage)

Important Considerations

Medical supervision is essential. PC infusions should only be administered by trained healthcare professionals.
Dosage and frequency depend on your condition and goals.

It is often used alongside IV glutathione, vitamin C, or chelation therapy for synergistic effects.
