Valimenta has recently announced some exciting news regarding their liposomal vitamins and supplements. Liposomes are tiny lipid particles that can encapsulate and deliver nutrients directly to cells in the body. In Valimenta's case, they have utilized this technology to enhance the absorption and bioavailability of their supplements. This means that the body can more effectively utilize the nutrients and the benefits may be experienced more quickly. Valimenta's liposomal products come in a variety of forms, from vitamin C to glutathione, and are formulated using high-quality, non-GMO ingredients. With this innovative approach to supplementation, Valimenta is leading the way in improving wellness and health outcomes for individuals looking to optimize their nutrient intake.

How Phosphatidylcholine Plays a Role in Methylation Biochemistry

Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is a phospholipid that plays a role in methylation biochemistry.

PC is the precursor of phosphatidylethanolamine methyltransferase (PEMT) which catalyzes the conversion of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) to PC.

The PEMT enzyme requires S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) as a methyl donor and generates phosphatidylcholine (PC) and S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) as products.

PC is also a component of cell membrane, which is important for the activity of enzymes that catalyze the methylation and demethylation of DNA, such as DNMTs (DNA methyltransferases) and TET enzymes. These enzymes are responsible for the addition or removal of methyl groups from DNA, which can affect the expression of genes.
