Choline is part of the B Vitamin family. It's produced in the body but in low enough quantities that for the most part, we get it through diet or supplements. Egg yolk, peanuts, wheat germ, organ meats and legumes are good ways to obtain Choline through diet.
Choline is involved in activities related to your nervous system and your brain. Choline Citrate is involved in muscle contractions, coordination and movement. It is involved in brain functions like memory, thought and intellect, and is important in the structural strength of cell membranes, the way you metabolize fats and the way you produce amino acids.
