Choline Chloride

What your body needs to form vital bodily substances

Choline, which is included in vitamin-like substances, is absolutely necessary for the formation of vital bodily substances, for example creatine and adrenaline, and in fat conversion and other metabolic reactions.

Moreover, choline performs other functions in the metabolism as a building block and it cannot be replaced by betaine or by methionine (so-called essential choline requirement).

Choline serves among other things as a:

• Building block of acetylcholine, which in this case has an important function in the transmission of stimuli in the nervous system (neurotransmitter).
• Building block of lecithin (phosphatidylcholine). Lecithin is one of the basic constituents of animal cell membranes.
• Building block of ceramides, which are present in the brain tissues. Interference in the enzymatic synthesis or degradation of these membrane building blocks results in metabolic disorders.
   

The supply of choline must be ensured by the formation of choline in the animal body and by addition to the feed. Choline is in equilibrium with other vitamins. Its synthesis is promoted by vitamin B12.
