What Is Choline, and What Does It Do for the Body?

Everyone knows about nutrients like vitamin D, calcium, and omega-3s when it comes to supporting your health, but choline is an overlooked nutrient that plays a critical role in how your body and brain function. So, what is choline, and what is choline good for in the body? Let’s dive into the essential functions of choline, its role in wellness, and how Juvent’s science-backed supplement, HydroxyBMD3™, uses it to promote bone, brain, and cardiovascular health.

What to Know About Choline

What Is Choline?

Choline is an essential nutrient that’s crucial for many bodily processes, including brain development, nerve function, metabolism, and cellular structure. Most choline is found in animal-based food sources, but it can also be obtained from plant sources, including broccoli, beans, nuts, and whole grains. The average person does not get enough choline in their diet; most men eat 402 mg a day, and women get around 278 mg, when they need closer to 550mg and 425mg, respectively. This is what makes supplementation of choline so important.

What Is Choline Good For?

We’ve answered how much choline you need and what it is, but you should understand exactly why getting enough matters! 

1. Supports Brain Function: Choline is a precursor to acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in memory, focus, and mood. Adequate choline levels may support cognitive clarity, especially as we age.

2. Maintains Cell Structure: Choline helps build phospholipids, which are necessary for the integrity and flexibility of cell membranes throughout the body.

3. Supports Nervous System Health: Choline contributes to the health of the myelin sheath, the protective coating around nerve fibers. This promotes clear communication between the brain and body.

4. Aids Fat Metabolism: In the liver, choline is essential for metabolizing fats and preventing abnormal fat accumulation. It supports liver health and detoxification pathways.

5. Helps During Pregnancy: Choline is especially important during pregnancy for fetal brain development and may reduce the risk of neural tube defects.

What Are the Benefits of Taking Choline Long-Term?

Over time, low choline levels may be linked to issues such as muscle damage, fatty liver, memory problems, inflammation, and increased cardiovascular risk. Research suggests choline helps with improved memory, enhanced focus, liver support, and even protection against age-related cognitive decline. Unfortunately, most people don’t get enough choline through diet alone. That’s why Juvent includes VitaCholine®, a highly bioavailable form of choline, in its HydroxyBMD3 AM supplement.
