It seems like getting the RDA (550 mg/d for men) consistently can be tricky. Eggs is on of the most abundant sources, but one would need to eat at least 4 every day:

Would love to know what everyone else thinks!
Any thoughts on lecithin (phosphatidylcholine)?
Re: Any thoughts on lecithin (phosphatidylcholine)?
I'm sensitive to eggs. In a meeting with Dr. Dayan Goodenowe reviewing my plasmalogen blood test around the beginning of June, he suggested something over 1 TBL/day of the NOW phosphatidylcholine product and maybe 1/3 of that for my 4/4 wife (based on our test results).nmlss wrote:Would love to know what everyone else thinks!

Interesting, what test was that exactly? Is there a good article on the test, reference ranges, etc?Tincup wrote:I'm sensitive to eggs.

Thank you!

This is the NOW product, you can look at the label imagenmlss wrote: Interesting, what test was that exactly? Is there a good article on the test, reference ranges, etc?

This is the redacted test. Without Dr. G's interpretation, I would have no clue. Before the consult, I thought I was not in great shape. He told my wife & I he almost never sees results this good. He said we'd mitigated our E4 risk (she's a 4/4). We were beta testers of his neuro plasmalogen supplement and had been taking for ~18 months prior. This was our first test. Told me to keep taking 1 ml/day and my wife to double for a few months and then drop back on the supplement. I'm 66 and my wife is 61. In addition to the NOW product, he suggested increasing my iron intake.
This is his site. He has a new book. This is the test & supplement site.

Re: Any thoughts on lecithin (phosphatidylcholine)?
I found that my TMAO is higher than the normal range on choline supplements but not when I stopped them. YMMV. While I'm not 100% sure whether I need to worry about TMAO (it's high in fish afterall), I did stop the choline supplements. I have a genetic need to address choline issues, so I eat two eggs a day. I have no idea whether I'm doing enough or whether the supplement was harmless if not helpful despite the higher TMAO when I was on it.nmlss wrote:These studies got me interested:

Tincup, thank you, this is very helpful!
Re: Any thoughts on lecithin (phosphatidylcholine)?
Does anyone else have any thoughts?
I found the first study most interesting. Specifically this:
"Using genetic screens in yeast, the authors discovered that promoting phospholipid synthesis through choline supplementation of culture medium restored a normal lipid state in APOE4-expressing yeast cells. The authors then demonstrated that choline supplementation also restored lipid homeostasis in human APOE4 astrocytes. These findings suggest that modulating glial metabolism could help to reduce APOE4-associated disease risk."

Re: Any thoughts on lecithin (phosphatidylcholine)?
Hi Tincup, I was just looking the website for Now supplements to find their product you mention. I could’t find any product listed under phosphatidylcholine. Is it their lecithin that you are taking on Dr G’s recommendation? Or something else? ThanksTincup wrote:…he suggested something over 1 TBL/day of the NOW phosphatidylcholine product…

Re: Any thoughts on lecithin (phosphatidylcholine)?
Hi - Is the lecithin powder definitely more beneficial for phosphatydl choline supplement than the liquid form?
I have been taking liquid sunflower lecithin and need to reorder and want to get what is most beneficial for my 3/4 status.
thanks in advance
