Used as a dietary supplement to treat or prevent choline deficiency, support cognitive function, promote liver health, and aid in metabolic processes. Often used during pregnancy and breastfeeding when choline requirements increase.

Choline Chloride provides bioavailable choline that the body converts into acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter essential for memory and nerve function. It also converts to betaine, which supports methylation reactions and liver function.
