Synopsis

Phospholipids are essential fat-based molecules that form the structural foundation of all cell membranes. Found in foods like eggs, soy, and sunflower seeds, they are crucial for cellular integrity, signaling, and nutrient transport. Phospholipids support brain function, liver detoxification, and fat metabolism, and are used in supplements to enhance absorption of fat-soluble nutrients. Key types include phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylserine, which play direct roles in cognitive health and neurotransmitter support.
