Choline

Choline is used to produce phosphatidylcholine, a major component of cell membranes, and acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter. It also contributes to methyl-donor pathways through its conversion to betaine.

• Scientific identity: Choline; classification: Essential nutrient, vitamin-like.
• How it works: Supplied largely by diet: Some internal synthesis exists but is insufficient, so a dietary supply is needed - it was recognised as essential only in 1998. Built into membranes: It forms phosphatidylcholine, a principal structural phospholipid of cell membranes.
• Primary function: It supports normal lipid metabolism, cell-membrane structure and neurotransmitter-related processes.
• What it supports: Choline supports healthy cell membranes, normal nerve communication and the way your body transports and processes dietary fat.
• Important consideration: Its contribution depends on ingredient form, quantity and the complete formulation.

CARPEDIEM selected Choline for a clearly defined role within a thoughtfully balanced formulation.

• Formulation purpose: It supports normal lipid metabolism, cell-membrane structure and neurotransmitter-related processes.
• Used in: CARPEDIEM MultiTeen.
• Works alongside: Choline complements L-Methylfolate, Vitamin B12 and Vitamin B6 to support a more complete functional-wellness formulation.
• Meaningful contribution: Choline supports healthy cell membranes, normal nerve communication and the way your body transports and processes dietary fat. Supports the normal metabolism and transport of fats within the body.
• Quality and scientific context: Its contribution depends on ingredient form, quantity and the complete formulation. Research is shown only when an ingredient-specific study demonstrates a relevant benefit.
