CHOLINE (650MG)
Overview:
Choline has been found recently to be a vital nutrient in daily life.
Choline is synthesized by the amino acid methionine, and Vitamins
B-12 and Folic Acid, but there may not be enough produced to meet
the body’s general needs. Choline is also large player in fat metabolism,
signal transmission inside cells, and is involved in many brain and
nerve functions because of its production of acetyicholine.
How This Vitamin Works in Your Body:
Choline works to promote cell membrane integrity. As a constituent
of Lecithin and Myelin, it is a major foundation of cell walls.
Both of these are involved in neurotransmission and brain and nerve
function.
As a neurotransmitter, Choline advances the releasing of acetylcholine.
Choline may help to prevent nervous system diseases, including Alzheimer’s
disease, Huntington’s disease, and tardive dyskinesia.
Because this vitamin removes fats from the liver, it may decrease
damage caused by alcoholism and hepatitis, while even lowering the
cholesterol level in human serum.
Correct levels of acetyicholine lead to better levels of mood, behavior,
direction, and judgment.
