VitaCholine® Choline Bitartrate Capsules Mode of Action
Choline supplements can be found in many forms: choline bitartrate, choline chloride, choline citrate, citicoline (CDP), and alpha-GPC. Choline bitartrate and choline chloride are salt forms of the essential nutrient choline. All forms of choline supplements increase acetylcholine in the brain (2).
Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter in the parts of the brain that impact memory and learning, attention, and alertness–making it one of the most beneficial neurotransmitter compounds for overall cognitive function and brain health (3).
Though choline can be found in food, less than 10% of adults in the United States are reaching the recommended daily amount (3). Common dietary sources of choline are animal-based products, dairy products, whole grains, cruciferous vegetables, nuts, and seeds (4).
Choline bitartrate is considered a simple and cost-effective form of choline but may not provide the cognitive benefits associated with other forms of choline. Instead, choline bitartrate boosts choline levels systemically (2).
Choline bitartrate is 41% choline by weight, meaning that for every 2,400 mg of choline bitartrate there is 1,000 mg of choline (2) and is a highly soluble and bioavailable form of choline. It is one of the most popular forms of choline that is found in branded foods and supplements (1), while choline chloride is still the standard for infant formulas (5).
Choline bitartrate is Generally Recognized as Safe by the U.S. FDA (6).
