What is in Phosphatidylcholine?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 10 g. The capsule beside an amount places it among every product in the NIH database that lists the same ingredient: the bar is the middle half of their amounts, the line in it the median, the whiskers the 10th and 90th percentiles; the green tick is the FDA Daily Value and the red dashed tick the adult upper limit (IOM).
| Ingredient | Amount | % DV | Among products listing it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phosphatidylcholine | 4,000 mg | This amount is far outside what other labels list for phosphatidylcholine, or disagrees with the label's own %DV: possibly a unit or transcription slip in the database. Check the label image on DSLD. | |
| from 10,000 mg of soy lecithin concentrate | 10,000 mg | Higher than 99% of 804 products listing lecithin (median 200 mg). |

Is that a lot?
The rows in the top or bottom tenth of the products that list the same ingredient, and any above the adult upper limit at the most servings a day the directions give:
- Its 10,000 mg of from 10,000 mg of soy lecithin concentrate (filed by NIH under lecithin) is higher than 99% of the 804 lecithin products that print an amount; 4 list more.
The NIH database records one serving a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for adults and children 4 or more years of age. The directions as printed are further down this page.
The Tolerable Upper Intake Level is the most of a nutrient per day, from food, water and supplements together, that is likely to pose no risk for almost all adults (Institute of Medicine, 2011). It does not apply under medical supervision. This page compares labels; it is not medical advice.
