Great question! Phospholipids are indispensible molecules in the human body that contribute to the structure, function, and regulation of cells and tissues. One well-known phospholipid is phosphatidylcholine, a major component of cell membranes found in dietary sources such as eggs, soybeans, and sunflower seeds. A special type of phosphatidylcholine that is enriched with essential fatty acids is the key ingredient in Essentiale^®.

You can take Essentiale^® for as long as you’d like, but we recommend taking Essentiale^® for a minimum of one to three months. This should be adjusted based on the local patient information leaflet on a country by country basis. If you notice issues with your liver (such as fatty liver), or if you're living a lifestyle where your liver may be under stress, Essentiale^® may be beneficial for you. For liver diseases, Essentiale^® Forte P is recommended. Consider taking it if you experience a lack of appetite, a sense of pressure in the right side of the epigastric area due to liver damage from an unhealthy diet, or effects from toxic substances or hepatitis.

Essentiale^® may interact with anticoagulants, and therefore—depending on your doctor’s advice—may require adjustment of your anticoagulant dose. However, Essentiale^® has a well-established, favorable safety profile, which is why it’s available as an over-the-counter product without a prescription. Essentiale^® is generally considered safe to take alongside medications for hypoglycemia, with statins (used to lower cholesterol levels), and with L-thyroxine (levothyroxine), a medication used to treat hypothyroidism. There are no known interactions between Essentiale^® and these medications, but it’s always best to consult a healthcare professional before adding a new supplement to your regimen.
Essentiale^® should not interact with antibiotics; although some antibiotic formulations contain phospholipids, they are not considered to have significant implications for interactions with human cell tissues. If you have any concerns about drug interactions, please consult your doctor.
