Cell Membranes

Jessica Kane Berman highlights the critical role of phospholipids in maintaining cell membrane integrity. She explains that phospholipids, particularly phosphatidylcholine, form the outer layer of cell membranes and are essential for cellular health. As we age, phospholipid levels decline, impacting cell function and increasing the risk of diseases like heart disease. Berman notes, "The membrane of every single cell in our body has a bilayer. It's a wall that encases your cells. And that wall is constantly changing." 1 2.

   

Detox & Longevity

Phospholipids play a vital role in detoxification and promoting longevity. Berman discusses how liposomal phospholipids assist in everyday detoxification, working at a cellular level to replenish and protect cells from toxins. She emphasizes, "It's a very gentle detoxifier. It's not like taking a binder, but it's really going to work on a much deeper level at cellular replenishment." 3 4.
