Choline (Water-Soluble)
Choline (Water-Soluble)
Foods: Eggs, Cod, Shrimp, Navy beans, Salmon, Brussels sprouts, Broccoli, Pinto beans
Nutrient inhibiting factors: Alcohol, processing
  • Converts fats into smaller water-soluble substances
  • Choline needs the other B-complex vitamins to be effective, especially folate and vitamin B3
  • Essential for the nervous system; vital for the prevention and treatment of such conditions as Parkinson’s disease, ADD, Alzheimer’s disease, autism, poor memory, hyperactivity, and various other nervous conditions
  • Most processed foods are deficient in choline
  • The substance known as lecithin, made from corn or soybeans and available as a supplement, is vital for the replenishment of choline reserves. The body can only produce lecithin when it has enough choline
  • The brain needs lecithin to function properly; over 28% of brain matter is composed of lecithin
  • Stress and nervousness rapidly use up lecithin reserves
  • Lecithin is a natural tranquilizer; it promotes a good night’s sleep and protects against fatigue and insomnia
  • Deficiency can lead to cardiovascular disease, renal failure, hardened arteries, high blood pressure, weak blood capillaries, high cholesterol, infertility, liver disorders, and obesity
  • Choline can be made with healthy intestinal bacteria
