| Choline (B Vitamins) |
 | |  |
Choline assists in controlling your weight as well as cholesterol
levels, keeping cell membranes healthy and in preventing gallstones.
It is also most useful in the maintenance of the nervous system,
assisting memory and learning, and may help to fight infections,
including hepatitis and AIDS. Choline is critical for normal membrane
structure and function.
Choline, a member of the vitamin B family, is found in egg yolks, liver
and other meats - "exactly the kind of things people were told not to
eat" due to their high cholesterol content.
Choline is the major precursor of betaine, and it is used by the
kidneys to maintain water balance and by the liver as a source of
methyl-groups for methionine formation. It is also used to produce
the important neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
Taking a nutrient called choline during pregnancy could
"super-charge" children's brains for life, suggests a study in rats.

According to a New Scientist article, "behavioural studies have shown giving choline to pregnant rats improves learning and
memory in their offspring." This latest study though "is the first time anyone has shown that prenatal choline supplementation
actually changes the anatomy and physiology of single brain cells," one of the researchers said.
Choline is an important constituent of cell membranes, so choline has functions in virtually every bodily system. Choline
participates in lipid (fat) transport in the body and may reduce accumulation of fat in the liver. As a dietary supplement and
ergogenic aid, however, claims surrounding choline are due mostly to its role as a component of acetylcholine, the
neurotransmitter needed for conduction of nerve signals and brain function. Claims in this area typically involve mental
performance, memory and reaction time.
Some claims for Choline
A deficiency of choline does not happen easily but if it is deficient it may lead to liver disease, raised cholesterol levels, high
blood pressure as well as kidney problems, Choline deficiency may also manifest itself in the inability to digest fats, stunted
growth and fatty buildup in the liver.
Memory and brain function could also be impaired.
Taking too much choline could result in your body smelling fishy, may cause nausea, depression, and could trigger existing
epilepsy. Hypotension, sweating, salivation and diarrhea have also been reported.
