Sometimes phospholipids like PPC become depleted in certain organs like the liver, with long term alcohol use. These organs become stiff and hard (a condition medically known as fibrosis or cirrhosis) and are basically scarred up. They often function poorly, and may eventually fail.
It has been found that giving PPC to people with a history of long term alcohol consumption slowed and even stopped the progression of fibrosis and cirrhosis in the liver.
Even more exciting, it is suspected that these beneficial effects are not isolated only to the liver – all cells require the correct phospholipids in their membranes to maintain optimal health and run correctly. Although the liver has been the most studied so far, it is likely that many other organs derive benefit from PPC supplementation.
This is an age where we spend incredible amounts of time and money in order to make our skin look as smooth, fresh and supple as possible. We hate to say it, but your skin is really just a layer of dead cells with the main function of acting as a barrier to the outside world. But consider the “skin” of your internal self – the membranes of your cells and the suppleness of your body organs. This is where true health and vitality begins, and ensuring the fluidity of your internal membranes is a key step to organ function and internal vitality!

What is Polyenylphosphatidylcholine?
Polyenylphosphatidylcholine (PPC) is a critical component of the outer wall of the cell, the cell membrane.
Why do you need Polyenylphosphatidylcholine?
The cell membrane is the border between the cell and its environment. But it is much more than a mechanical barrier - it is where communication, signalling, channelling, pumping, and numerous protein to protein interactions take place. It is really a two dimensional liquid that holds thousands of critical proteins which need to be able to move freely, reacting and changing as they communicate with their environment , the cell interior, and themselves. This requires rapid lateral movement inside the membrane. The cell membrane therefore has to be fluid and not too stiff to function optimally. CytoShield optimizes membrane fluidity and overall cellular health.
Why take CytoShield as a source of Polyenylphosphatidylcholine?
Quality PPC preparations are not easy to make correctly. The few products available on the North American market today use alcohol to dissolve the phospholipids. The liver must work harder to detoxify and eliminate the alcohol contained in these preparations, thus adding additional stress to this critical organ. CytoShield has been formulated without the use of alcohol, and is the most liver friendly product on the market today. It is formulated using ultra-purified soy lecithin, in which everything except the Polyenylphosphatidylcholine fraction has been removed. It is then gently resuspended in a mixture of antioxidants to prevent oxidation (tocopherols) and Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT's) - medium chain fatty acids which typically are not stored as fat but burned instead as a source of energy. A truly unique formulation which is available nowhere else.
What can you expect from taking CytoShield?
Polyenylphosphatidylcholine has been shown in numerous research papers to arrest, prevent, and often reverse the effects of cirrhosis of the liver, a condition where the organ becomes very stiff from fibrosis. This beneficial effect is not only isolated to the liver, and no doubt applies to every organ and cell of the body.
