Choline for Brain Function - Choline is the most recent nutrient to be officially acknowledged, being declared a required nutrient in 1998. It is water soluble and acts much like a B Vitamin, playing a role in the nervous system, brain, liver, muscles, and metabolism. Unlike fat soluble vitamins, you need a consistent supply because your body cannot store it. Choline deficiency can vary in terms of severity, with mild symptoms including difficulty focusing, slow information processing, and impaired memory. Two symptoms of a more severe deficiency are muscle damage and fatty liver.
Choline is a precursor to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, and also to the cell membrane phospholipid phosphatidylcholine.
