Description
Choline is a true VIP in the world of nootropics. Not only is it an essential nutrient and powerful brain booster in its own right, it's the must have supplement that brings out the best in other
cognitive enhancers. Safe, effective, and affordable, choline is an invaluable addition to every nootropic stack.
Choline (2-hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethyl-ethanaminium) is a water soluble nutrient that is closely related to the B complex of Vitamins. It is crucial to both brain and liver function in the human body.
The need for plenty of choline actually starts before birth; Fetal brain development is seriously adversely effected when mothers don't get enough choline. Postnatal choline supplementation
enhances learning, ameliorates the effects of fetal alcohol syndrome, and reduces the chance of brain disorders.
Choline has a number of functions in the body. In terms of nootropics and cognitive enhancement, its most important function is as precursor of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is crucial
to nerve communication and is crucial for brain functions related to memory, concentration, learning ability, and virtually all aspects of cognition. The body breaks down choline from your diet
into the neurotransmitter which is why having adequate choline in your system is essential for optimal brain performance.
While your body naturally makes a small amount of this compound, we require external sources from our diet and supplements in order to meet our daily needs.
Choline Benefits
The benefits of Choline supplementation are said to include improved brain health and improved intellect. Clinical studies have long established that getting enough of this nutrient makes it easier
to remember and keeps your mental facilities sharp later in life.
However, there are a number of additional "off-label" effects reported by users who take Choline sources. Certain forms of this compound are even touted as brain boosters or smart drugs (known to
the scientific community as "nootropics").
Below are a selection of the positive effects as reported in Choline reviews, testimonials and experience logs online:

Dosage
Typically a dose of 250mg to 500mg is used for general health purposes once daily. For mechanisms through acetylcholine, the choline should be pulsed in high doses acutely as higher doses are
partitioned to the brain to a greater extent. 1-2g is typically used.
Doses should be titrated to suit the individual, as too high of a dose at any given time may give the user a headache. It is suggested that doses start out at 50-100mg daily and that users adjust
upwards in accordance with their tolerance.
Choline Side Effects
Choline is considered to be a safe nutrient with very low occurrence of side effects and no serious risk factors. It has been given GRAS status (Generally Regarded as Safe) by the US Food and Drug
Administration. This means that it has been adequately shown to be safe under the conditions of its intended use, according to FDA standards.
In some cases, if you exceed the recommended choline dosage you may experience diarrhea, nausea, fatigue, vomiting and excessive perspiration. The higher the dosage used, the greater the risk of
adverse effects.
