Vital Nutrients, Choline, 550 mg, 120 Veggie Capsules (275 mg per capsule)

Product Description: SupplementVegan ProductSupplementFreeFree from Genetically Modified IngredientsSupports healthy muscle function, liver health, and early brain development.Choline is an essential nutrient present in certain foods, especially animal products such as liver, salmon, and eggs. Choline (acid tartrate) provides methyl groups needed for a variety of metabolic functions, including normal muscle function, liver health, and early brain development. Choline is needed by the body to make phospholipids, which are essential for cell membrane integrity and nerve myelination. Choline, a component of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, is effective in memory, emotion, and muscle control. Choline also helps regulate gene expression, cell membrane signaling, and lipid transport and metabolism. Although humans produce some choline in the liver, it is not enough to meet the body's needs, and most people in the United States consume less than needed to prevent choline deficiency. Therefore, the current recommended daily intake of 550 mg for adults can be achieved through diet or choline supplements. Groups at higher risk for choline deficiency include pregnant women, vegetarians, and people with genetic variants associated with choline, folate, and methionine metabolism. The American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics recently reaffirmed the importance of evidence-based choline intake for pregnancy and lactation. Preliminary research suggests that high maternal choline intake during pregnancy (and possibly while breastfeeding) may have lasting neurocognitive benefits in children.
