PlaqueX IV Therapy in The Woodlands, TX
Your cholesterol numbers keep climbing. The statin your doctor prescribed causes muscle pain, fatigue, or brain fog that makes daily life harder than the condition itself. You want a different path forward for your heart health, one that works with your body rather than blocking its natural processes. PlaqueX therapy offers that alternative.

Why Prince Health for PlaqueX IV Therapy?
PlaqueX therapy requires clinical expertise and proper monitoring to deliver results. At Prince Health, we begin with a full cardiovascular assessment and lab work before your first infusion. Your protocol is designed around your lipid profile, cardiovascular status, and treatment goals. We track progress with follow-up lab panels at defined intervals rather than guessing whether the therapy is working. When your cardiovascular plan requires additional support, we integrate PlaqueX with IV nutrient infusions and functional medicine evaluation under one roof.

Different Mechanism Than Statins
Statins work by blocking cholesterol production in the liver. PlaqueX takes a fundamentally different approach by supporting lipid transport and cell membrane integrity. It delivers phosphatidylcholine, a compound your body already uses, to help manage arterial plaque and improve the ratio of LDL to HDL cholesterol.
Lab-Verified Progress
We do not rely on how you feel to measure results. Your lipid panels, inflammatory markers, and cardiovascular benchmarks are tested before, during, and after your protocol. This data-driven tracking ensures your 10 to 20 session investment is producing measurable improvement.
Comprehensive Cardiovascular Care
PlaqueX is one component of a complete cardiovascular strategy. We combine it with dietary guidance, functional medicine evaluation, and targeted nutrient support to address all the factors contributing to your heart health, not just cholesterol numbers in isolation.
What Is PlaqueX IV Therapy?
PlaqueX IV therapy is a phosphatidylcholine (PC) infusion that supports arterial health, plaque management, and cell membrane integrity. Prince Health in The Woodlands, TX uses PlaqueX as part of comprehensive cardiovascular protocols for patients with coronary heart disease, elevated cholesterol, and arterial plaque buildup.
Phosphatidylcholine is not a pharmaceutical drug. It is a phospholipid that exists naturally in every cell membrane in your body. Your liver produces it. Your brain depends on it. Your arterial walls require it for structural integrity. PlaqueX therapy delivers concentrated PC directly into your bloodstream, where it supports lipid metabolism and arterial wall health at therapeutic levels that oral supplementation cannot achieve.
How does this relate to cholesterol and plaque? Arterial plaque is not simply cholesterol stuck to your artery walls. It involves oxidized lipids, inflammatory cells, and damaged endothelial tissue. PC supports the body's natural lipid transport mechanisms, helping to improve the ratio of LDL to HDL cholesterol and support the integrity of arterial cell membranes. This is a fundamentally different approach from statins, which block cholesterol production in the liver.
A typical PlaqueX protocol involves 10 to 20 infusions, each lasting approximately 90 minutes. Sessions are usually scheduled once or twice per week. The number depends on your cardiovascular status, cholesterol levels, and clinical goals. At Prince Health, we do not use a fixed protocol for every patient. Your infusion count is based on your baseline labs and adjusted as your follow-up results come in.
PlaqueX integrates with our broader cardiovascular approach. We combine PC infusions with customized lab assessments to track lipid markers, IV nutrient infusions to support overall vascular function, and functional medicine evaluation to identify all the factors contributing to your heart disease or elevated cholesterol.

PlaqueX vs. Other Approaches to Cardiovascular Health
Different mechanisms produce different outcomes. Understanding how each approach works helps you make a more informed decision about your heart health.
PlaqueX at Prince Health
- Supports lipid transport and cell membrane integrity using natural phospholipid
- Lab-verified progress with lipid panels tracked throughout your protocol
- Works through lipid metabolism rather than blocking cholesterol production
- Integrated with functional medicine and IV nutrients for whole-system cardiovascular care
Statin Medications
- Block cholesterol production in the liver, reducing total numbers but not addressing transport
- Common side effects include muscle pain, fatigue, cognitive fog, and liver enzyme elevation
- Must be taken indefinitely; cholesterol rebounds when medication stops
- Do not address arterial inflammation, oxidized lipids, or cell membrane damage
Diet-Only Approaches
- Important foundation but often insufficient for advanced plaque or elevated cholesterol
- Cannot deliver phosphatidylcholine at therapeutic levels through food alone
- Genetic factors in cholesterol metabolism may limit dietary impact
- Results are slow and may not be sufficient when plaque is already significant

Benefits of PlaqueX IV Therapy at Prince Health
Different Mechanism Than Statins
Statins block cholesterol production. PlaqueX supports lipid transport and cell membrane repair. These are fundamentally different strategies. For patients who cannot tolerate statin side effects or whose cholesterol has not responded adequately to production-blocking drugs, PlaqueX offers a path that works with different biological machinery.
Supports Overall Cell Membrane Health
Phosphatidylcholine is not just for arteries. It supports cell membrane integrity throughout your body, including brain cells, liver cells, and nerve tissue. Patients often report improvements in cognitive clarity and energy alongside their cardiovascular markers, because healthier cell membranes improve function across multiple systems.
Transparent Multi-Session Pricing
PlaqueX protocols require 10 to 20 sessions. We provide transparent pricing for the full protocol before you begin so you can plan your investment. Many patients find this more predictable than the open-ended cost of lifetime statin prescriptions plus monitoring labs plus managing side effects with additional medications.
What to Expect During Your PlaqueX Protocol
Cardiovascular Assessment and Labs
We review your cardiovascular history, current medications, and risk factors. Baseline labs include a comprehensive lipid panel, inflammatory markers, and liver function tests to establish your starting point and confirm candidacy.
Protocol Design
Based on your labs and cardiovascular status, we determine the optimal number of infusions and schedule. Protocols typically range from 10 to 20 sessions administered once or twice weekly. Your plan is personalized, not a fixed template.
PC Infusion Series
Each 90-minute infusion delivers concentrated phosphatidylcholine directly into your bloodstream. You sit comfortably in our treatment area while our clinical team monitors the infusion. Sessions are spaced to give your body time to integrate the compound.
Lab Retesting and Protocol Adjustment
We retest your lipid panel and inflammatory markers at defined intervals to measure your response. If your numbers are improving, we stay the course. If adjustments are needed, we refine the protocol. Your data drives every decision.
