Vitals Choline-VC 400mgVitals Choline-VC 400 mg
Choline has long been an undervalued (vitamin B-like) nutrient. However, more and more is becoming known about it. In 2012, the European Commission determined that three health claims for choline could be considered scientifically proven. It was established that it is important for normal lipid metabolism, normal homocysteine metabolism, and proper liver function. And in 2016, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) ruled that choline is an essential nutrient that the body does not produce enough of itself and a large part of which must be obtained from food. The adequate intake in Europe was set at 400 mg/day for adults, based on the average intake in European countries. For pregnant women, 480 mg/day is recommended, and for breastfeeding women, even 520 mg per day. In 2016, an adequate intake was also established in America for the first time. However, this is based on clinical research specifically intended to determine the daily requirement (sufficient for a healthy liver), and it came out to 550 mg/day. The average intake of adults in Europe fluctuates between 291 and 468 mg/day.
Synergy
Choline has important collaborations with vitamins B6, B12, folate, and SAMe. Furthermore, phosphatidylcholine produced via the SAMe-dependent metabolic pathway is enriched with DHA, forming phosphatidylcholine-DHA. Choline and DHA have a synergistic interaction with each other.
