Vitacholine 400mg - 90 capsules
What is Choline?
Choline is an essential substance that is crucial for various bodily functions. Since 2016, choline has been recognized as an essential nutrient by the EFSA, and since then a recommended daily amount has been established: 400 mg per day for both men and women. For pregnant women, an intake of 480 mg per day is recommended.
Choline is often categorized as a B vitamin, although this classification is sometimes disputed. Unlike most vitamins, choline can be produced by the human body itself. This synthetic process occurs in the liver, where phosphatidylethanolamine is methylated. During this chemical reaction, S-Adenosyl-Methionine acts as the methyl donor.
Foods rich in choline include eggs, liver, meat, and fish. A single egg contains a whopping 200 mg of choline, making eggs an excellent choice for pregnant women.
Functions of Choline include:
1. Choline is a building block of phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin, two important phospholipids that contribute to the structure of cell membranes.
2. Choline is involved in the transport and metabolism of fats and cholesterol.
What are the health benefits of Choline?
Choline contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism, the maintenance of normal liver function, to normal lipid metabolism and to the maintenance of the structure of cell membranes.
