BodyBio PC May Be the Most Overlooked Tool in Lyme Recovery
Used by thousands of doctors and functional medicine practitioners, BodyBio PC supports the nervous system, liver, gut, and immune response at the cellular level—where Lyme does the most damage.
Lyme bacteria literally steal your cell membranes
The Lyme spirochete (Borrelia burgdorferi) can’t make phosphatidylcholine (PC) on its own. So it hijacks PC directly from your cells, weakening your membrane integrity and disrupting how your body functions.
Phosphatidylcholine is essential for cellular repair
PC is the most abundant phospholipid in your body. It helps rebuild damaged membranes, restore mitochondrial function, and protect your nervous system during and after infection.*
BodyBio PC gives your cells exactly what they need
BodyBio PC delivers 100% pure phosphatidylcholine in a concentrated, clinically trusted form. It helps your body rebuild from the inside out—no digestion required.*
Research shows Borrelia uses PC to hide from your immune system
A 2022 study published in JCI Insight showed that Borrelia incorporates host PC into its own membrane, helping it camouflage itself from immune detection.
5
Without enough PC, your mitochondria struggle
Every mitochondrion (your cellular energy generator) is wrapped in a double layer of phospholipids. When Lyme steals those lipids, energy crashes—and fatigue can linger for years.*
6
It helps reduce brain fog and neuroinflammation
The brain is especially rich in phosphatidylcholine. Supporting brain cell membranes may help improve cognitive function, memory, and mental clarity.*
7
It supports the detox process
Phospholipids help escort toxins out of the body through bile. Supplementing with PC supports liver function and phase II detox pathways.
8
It plays well with binders and biofilm disruptors
BodyBio PC is often used alongside binders (like charcoal or clay), mitochondrial support, and biofilm protocols to help "clean up the battlefield" after treatment.*
9
Trusted by top Lyme-literate doctors
Many functional and integrative medicine physicians include BodyBio PC in IV and oral protocols for chronic infections, mold illness, and neuroinflammation.
10
It pairs perfectly with omega-3s
PC + DHA/EPA (omega-3s) is a powerful combo for calming inflammation, stabilizing membranes, and supporting neurological recovery.*
11
It may help reduce Herxheimer reactions
By stabilizing cell membranes and supporting detox, PC may reduce the severity of die-off symptoms during treatment in sensitive individuals.*
12
No fillers, no fluff—just pure PC
Unlike generic lecithin or softgels, BodyBio PC contains only bioactive phospholipids. No soy. No additives. No compromise.*
13
It’s kid-friendly
Because Lyme doesn’t discriminate by age, BodyBio PC is often used in pediatric protocols as well, especially when the nervous system or gut has been impacted.*
14
Real people are seeing real results
From improved energy and focus to less inflammation and better recovery, BodyBio PC is a trusted ally in complex chronic illness protocols.*
