Fats that form cell membranes, a source of choline and inositol

We rank Phospholipids by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.

What it is

Phospholipids are a specific type of fat that make up the outer layer, or membrane, of every cell in the body. They act as a structural barrier that protects the cell and controls what enters and leaves it. These fats are also a primary source of choline and inositol, which are essential nutrients the body uses for various chemical processes.

Why it's used

These ingredients are used to support the brain and nervous system. Because they are a key part of cell membranes, they are often taken to help maintain the health of brain cells. They provide the raw materials needed for the body to create neurotransmitters, which are the chemical messengers that allow brain cells to communicate with each other.

How it's made

To create these as a supplement, manufacturers typically extract the fats from natural sources like soy or sunflower lecithin. The raw material is processed using solvents to separate the phospholipids from other fats and proteins. Once isolated, the resulting substance is refined and dried into a powder or turned into a liquid oil to be put into capsules.

What it typically costs

This ingredient is generally affordable. The cost remains low because the raw materials are sourced from abundant agricultural crops like soy, and the extraction process is a standard industrial method used by many different suppliers.
