How it works

What it is and the mechanism

An essential nutrient and precursor to acetylcholine and to phosphatidylcholine for cell membranes. It also supplies methyl groups and supports liver fat export. Bitartrate is an inexpensive but less brain-targeted form.

Interactions and cautions

Read these before combining this with other supplements or medication. The risk is rarely the headline, it is the interaction you did not check.

Interactions
  • Anticholinergic drugs, opposing action
  • Methotrexate, may affect choline status
Cautions
  • High doses can cause a fishy body odor and GI upset
  • Alpha-GPC or citicoline are more brain-targeted
