Vitamins - Choline

 

 
Description

Choline is a water soluble member of the B-complex vitamins and is required to metabolize fat. This lipotropic nutrient works with Inositol (also lipotropic) to regulate the amount of fat accumulated in the liver. Choline forms lecithin (a fat emulsifier) for metabolizing fat and cholesterol in the body. It is required for proper conduction of nerve impulses through the central nervous system.

This nutrient supports liver function, gall bladder regulation, and hormone production. Choline can be manufactured in the body from either methionine or serine amino acids and has recently been designated an essential nutrient.
