- As Choline bitartrate
Choline is an important (semi-)essential nutrient. Technically it is not a B vitamin, but it is often added to vitamin B complexes because it works closely with folic acid and vitamin B12, among others. Choline is also often offered in combination with inositol.
Different Forms of Choline
CDP Choline
Citicoline (CDP Choline) is an important naturally occurring metabolite that is involved in the formation of phosphatidylcholine, a major component of the brain.
Phosphatidylcholine
Phosphatidylcholine is a major component of lecithin. It forms an essential constituent of every body cell, where it is especially an important component of the cell membrane.
Lecithin
Lecithin is a mixture of glycolipids, triglycerides and phospholipids. Egg yolks and soybeans contain a lot of lecithin, but it can also be extracted from sunflower seeds.
Two components of lecithin are available as separate supplements: phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylserine.
Choline is good for:
- Liver
- Homocysteine
- Lipid metabolism
* Health claims pending approval by the European Commission.
Choline provides, among other things, methyl groups for the synthesis of SAMe (S-adenosylmethionine), is part of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and is a component of membrane phospholipids such as phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin.
Cognizin®
Cognizin® is a patented form of Citicoline, a natural nutrient found in every cell in the human body. Cognizin is at the center of many scientific studies and is a naturally occurring metabolite involved in the formation of phosphatidylcholine, a key component of the brain.
