Phospholipids are natural fatty compounds that form the basis of cell membranes and are a common component of both foods and supplements.
Phospholipids are naturally occurring fatty substances that form an essential building block of cell membranes in the human body and in plants. Due to their unique structure (hydrophilic and lipophilic parts), they play an important role in the organisation and stability of cells.
They are found naturally in, for example:
-
egg yolk,
-
soya,
-
sunflower seeds,
-
nuts and seeds.
In foods and dietary supplements, phospholipids are used as a nutritional and technological ingredient, often in the form of lecithin.
