Choline

Choline is an essential nutrient and its primary function within the human body is the synthesis of cellular membranes, although it serves other functions as well. It is a precursor molecule to the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine which serves a wide range of functions including motor control and memory. Choline deficiencies may be related to some liver and neurological disorders. Because of its role in cellular synthesis, choline is an important nutrient during the prenatal and early postnatal development of offspring as it contributes to brain development. Choline intakes from food for men, women and children may be below the Adequate Intake levels. Women, especially when pregnant or lactating, the elderly, and infants, are at risk for choline deficiency. Beef liver, wheat germ, and egg yolks are common foods providing choline.
