IV Phosphatidylcholine (PTC)

Phosphatidylcholine (PTC) is a phospholipid compound with a choline group and it’s present in every cell of the body, as it plays an important role in maintaining cell wall structure.

PTC also plays an important role in forming lung surfactants which allows the lungs to expand and fill up with air.

The body also uses this compound as a precursor to acetylcholine which is a neurotransmitter necessary for optimal brain and nerve function.

Studies have shown that as we get older, there’s less PTC produced by the body. A 2015 study showed that lower PTC concentrations were associated with lower memory and cognitive performance.  PTC may also help with lipid management to decrease cholesterol and prevent plaque build up. 

Many clients who frequently receive this IV have noticed improved cognitive, reduced inflammation, and improved exercise performance.

IV therapy is a straightforward procedure. Regardless of the type of IV therapy you are receiving, you can expect the process to be pretty uniform. The nurse administering the therapy will talk you through the procedure. Generally, you will be seated somewhere comfortable for the duration of the therapy. The nurse will disinfect the injection site and place a needle directly in a vein. The IV will typically be placed in the arm, but it is possible to be placed elsewhere.
The fluids inside an IV bag depend on the type of therapy you are undergoing. Intravenous solutions can contain saline, vitamins, minerals and medication.
So, what is IV therapy used for? Generally, the main types of IV therapy are Hangover relief, Athletic performance recovery, Immune system support, Cold and flu relief, Pregnancy symptom alleviation and Migraine and headache relief
IV therapy drips amino acids, vitamins, minerals and fluids at a controlled rate. Once you are connected to the IV, which is usually a quick and simple process, the duration of the therapy will depend on why you are undergoing IV therapy. This process can take longer, but will typically require 45 minutes to an hour of your time. Some IV therapies can be done relatively quickly, while others will take longer.
How quickly will you feel the effects of the IV drip? Again, the answer depends on why you are undergoing IV therapy. In some cases, you may feel the effects almost immediately. In other cases, it may take more time. The effects can last for up to a few days after completing the procedure, depending on a number of different factors.
