Summary
The global market for dietary supplements and health nutrition is evolving rapidly. Faced with consumers who are increasingly demanding in terms of efficacy, traceability and naturalness, dietary supplement brands and their manufacturers (CDMOs) must rely on effective ingredients of the highest quality.
Among these key active ingredients, phosphatidylcholine has established itself as an essential component.
However, incorporating this complex lipid into a high-performance formula requires collaboration with a trusted partner. As a leading supplier of phosphatidylcholine for over 20 years, Novastell offers its expertise to manufacturers to turn this technical challenge into a genuine commercial success through its Cholinactive® range.

Phosphatidylcholine is the most abundant phospholipid in the body’s cell membranes. As well as acting as a structural component, it functions as a powerful physiological carrier.
For laboratories’ Research & Development (R&D) and marketing departments, this ingredient offers significant benefits:
To capitalise on these benefits, manufacturers need a supplier capable of providing fractions with a standardised phosphatidylcholine content, free from contaminants (pesticides, heavy metals, PAHs, etc.) and easy to incorporate into various manufacturing processes.
Phosphatidylcholine, the first phospholipid to be described by chemists, is still associated today with lecithin for its emulsifying properties. From a nutritional perspective, it is responsible for the triglyceride-lowering and cholesterol-lowering effects associated with the regular consumption of lecithin in granule form.
Phosphatidylcholine is also a highly effective carrier of choline, which is essential for liver and kidney metabolism, for which it is the sole form of choline storage.
To meet changing consumer trends and labelling requirements (allergens, clean label), we offer two distinct origins:
The level of phosphatidylserine in the brain decreases with ageing, in parallel with a decline in brain function. It is possible to compensate for this decrease through dietary intake and to slow down the decline in memory.
As a supplier of phosphatidylcholine, we know that the form and presentation of an ingredient are fundamental to product development and industrialisation. That is why Cholinactive® is available in concentrations ranging from 25 per cent to 90 per cent pure phosphatidylcholine, making it suitable for all dosage forms on the market:

All our products also comply with cultural and religious requirements, and are certified as kosher and halal.
