Choline Bitartrate

What is choline bitartrate?

Choline bitartrate is grouped into the B vitamin family, and it is considered to be an essential nutrient, meaning that the body cannot naturally produce enough of it by itself, so it requires it in dietary form. The body can still naturally synthesize choline, however it can only synthesize it in small dosages, of which the amounts produced simply are not high enough to be beneficial. Choline bitartrate plays a number of vital roles in the human body when it comes to health and fitness, yet despite this, studies have found that people still aren’t getting enough naturally. As well as being found in supplement form, choline is also naturally present in various foods, including: meat, fish, eggs, peanuts, and some green leafy vegetables. In supplement form however, choline bitartrate is proving to be one of the most popular variations, in which the choline is combined with a salt, in this case, bitrartrate, which ensures that optimal amounts can be absorbed via the body.

How does it work?

Primarily, the most choline within the body can be found within lipid (fat) molecules, which are also known as phospholipids. Choline assists with the strengthening of cell membranes, as well as for the natural production of neurostransmitters, which are essential for muscular function and control. Choline can also strengthen the immune system, thereby assisting with the maintenance of a healthy and balanced body and mind. The supplement has also been found to actively work to reduce blood pressure and a person’s resting heart rate, providing numerous cardiovascular benefits as a result.
