The Solgar Lipotropic Factors is a dietary supplement in tablets, providing per daily dose the three tablets of 1000mg inositol, 1000mg L-methionine and 1000mg choline bitartrate, a quantity that yields 410mg elemental choline. The package contains 50 tablets and the formula is vegan.
It is aimed at adults who want to cover their intake of choline, those who follow a plant-based diet and get less choline from eggs and meat, and people interested in dietary support for lipid metabolism.
The term lipotropic is traditionally used for nutrients that participate in the management of fats by the liver. Choline is the most characteristic of these. It is essential for the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, the main phospholipid of cell membranes, which is also needed for the formation of VLDL lipoproteins. Through these particles, triglycerides are packaged and exit the hepatic cell to the circulation.
L-methionine is an essential sulfur-containing amino acid and a precursor of S-adenosylmethionine, the main methyl donor of the organism, while it is metabolically linked to the homocysteine cycle. Inositol is a polyol related to the B complex, a structural component of the phospholipids of membranes. Of the three components, only choline has approved health claims. Inositol and methionine remain the subject of research.
According to the product presentation by Solgar itself, Lipotropic Factors is described as follows:
