High doses of phosphatidylcholine may lead to a fishy body odor or breath due to the excretion of trimethylamine (TMA). The intensity varies and may be intermittent.
Some individuals taking high doses of phosphatidylcholine may experience a fishy body odor or breath. This odor is believed to be caused by the body's inability to fully metabolize choline, leading to the excretion of trimethylamine (TMA), a compound responsible for the fishy smell, through sweat, breath, and urine. The intensity of the odor can vary between individuals and may be intermittent.
