Hidden choline in supplements a risk for Met PCa?

[Sriyantra]

Anyone here taking a Liposomal Vitamin C supplement?

I'm wanting to better understand if Phosphatidylcholine (included in most Liposomal Vit C supplements) could be a potential problem for those with metastasised PCa?

A daily dose of Liposomal C often contains 500mg of Phosphatidylcholine to increase absorption. Here's the only opinion I could find on this: peaktestosterone.com/Phosph...

I really want to supplement Liposomal C but not if it's going to be a significant risk factor. I don't take anything that I'm aware of that has Lecithin in it (a source of Phosphatidylcholine). So complicated all this stuff!

All foods contain phosphatidylcholine. There is no clinical evidence it is harmful. There is also no clinical evidence of a benefit in supplementing oral Vitamin C

I tried Vitamin C in liquid form, ie, liposomal, and I noticed not the slightest benefit to how I felt, and there was not the slightest reduction of Psa.

I concluded that if I already consume enough Vit C from green vegies every day, there's probably no point in having more; I can't find any evidence Vit C fights cancer, even if you ate a Kg every day, which BTW could be toxic.

I am on chemo now for Pca in bones, and it does not seem to be working at all, and I doubt Vit C is ever going to help.

Phosphatidylcholine is a major constituent of cell membranes - it is found in every cell in the human body.

The link you provided offers a rather tenuous case for phosphatidylcholine causing cancer. While it is true that some cancers have elevated phosphatidylcholine, that hardly proves the cause.

My husband took high dose liposomal C when we lived in Bath - i.e. the equivalent of about 50 grams a day. Now that we are in NYC, he gets 100 grams IV once a week which helps manage the side effects of the zytiga.

P.S. I personally make my own liposomal C, take about 25 grams of it a day - 5 years now - and I never get sick - not even a cold. And I am on planes weekly - all over the world - for work. I would never leave home without it.

Another P.S. As you're in the U.K. - I assume you're aware that the NHS will pay for you to have treatment elsewhere if your consultant deems it necessary and the treatment isn't available in the U.K.?

Good luck to you.
