What is Choline?

Choline is a nutrient needed to make a neurotransmitter important for memory, mood, muscle control, and other brain and nervous system functions. During pregnancy, Choline helps support the baby’s brain and spinal cord development. Your body can make Choline in small amounts; however, it is not enough for what your body needs, so you need to get it from your diet.†
