Choline Description

Choline - Choline is a water-soluble vitamin of the B complex variety. Choline is essential for nerve impulses to be properly transmitted from the brain to locations throughout the central nervous system. This compound also regulates the gallbladder. The human body manufactures acetylcholine with choline. Choline is abundantly found in almost all foods and is an important component of lecithin. Since choline is so ubiquitous it is rare that people have a deficiency. When a deficiency does occur, it can lead to excessive levels of high blood pressure and internal bleeding in the kidneys. Deficiency can also lead to actual degeneration of the liver.
