Choline Bitartrate
Choline is an essential water-soluble nutrient that plays a pivotal role in the structural integrity of cell membranes and helps in cell signaling and neurotransmission. Choline acts as a precursor for the production of acetylcholine a key neurotransmitter that controls the nervous system and regulates memory functions, mood, muscle contraction, and other bodily functions. The tartrate complex of choline helps in better absorption and improves cognitive and locomotor performance and prevents absentmindedness by maintaining memory recall.
