Choline can:
- Keep your cell membranes functioning properly: The naming of choline after the Greek word for bile was appropriate. Bile, which is made in your liver, makes fat compatible with water, so that fat-based substances can get transported around your body in your water-based blood. Choline has very similar fat-modifying effects in the membranes of your cells, the gates through which nutrients enter and wastes leave. The fat-modifying properties of choline allow your cell membranes to operate with greater flexibility in handling both water- and fat-soluble molecules. Without choline, many fat-based nutrients could not enter your cells, and many waste products could not leave.
- Allow your nerves to communicate with your muscles: Choline is a key component of acetyl choline, a neurotransmitter that your body uses to send messages between your nerves and muscles.
- Reduce chronic inflammation: People whose diets supply more than 310 milligrams of choline daily have levels of inflammatory markers at least 20% lower than people whose diets supplied less than 250 milligrams of choline daily. Each of these markers of chronic inflammation has been linked to a wide range of conditions including Heart disease, osteoporosis, cognitive decline and Alzheimer's, and type-2 Diabetes.
- Reduce your risk of atherosclerosis, heart attack, stroke, liver damage, osteoporosis, and possibly Alzheimer's disease: Risk of these serious diseases is associated with high blood levels of a molecule called homocysteine. Choline allows homocysteine to be converted into other substances, preventing any build-up. In particular, betaine, a metabolite of choline (which is also found naturally in vegetables such as beets and spinach), can also lower your homocysteine levels.
- Promote brain health: Choline is a key component of many fat-containing structures in cell membranes. Because your cell membranes are made up almost entirely of these fat-containing structures, their flexibility and integrity depend on adequate supplies of choline. In your brain, these fat-like molecules account for an unusually high percentage of total solids, so choline is particularly important for brain health.
- Reduce allergy symptoms: Choline supplements have reduced symptoms of allergic rhinitis.

What is choline?
It is an essential nutrient in the brain.Choline, a water-soluble nutrient, is the newest official member of the B vitamin family. Even though it has only recently been adopted as a vitamin, choline has been the subject of nutritional study for almost 150 years.Adolph Strecker discovered choline in 1864 and it was chemically synthesized in 1866. In the late 1930s, scientists discovered that tissue from the pancreas contained a substance that could help prevent fatty build-up in the liver. This substance was named choline after the Greek word chole, which means bile.Today, we know that choline is a component of every human cell. In 1975, scientists discovered that choline increased the synthesis and release of acetylcholine by neurons. These discoveries lead to the increased interest in dietary choline and brain function. In 1998, choline was classified as an essential nutrient by the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine (USA).

Where does the name choline stem from?
Choline is a water-soluble nutrient usually part of the B complex vitamin. It is part of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine which is important in memory. Vegetarians or vegans or alcoholics tend to have low choline amounts in the body. Choline is derived from the Greek to mean "gall" or bile.
