What is Choline?
Choline is an essential nutrient that the body needs to perform several vital functions. Though it is neither a vitamin nor mineral, choline is often grouped with vitamin B complex because of its similarities to them.
Choline is a source of methyl groups needed for many steps in metabolism. According to the National Institutes of Health, the body “needs choline to synthesize phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin, two major phospholipids vital for cell membranes.” Because of this, all plants and animals need choline to maintain the structural integrity of their cells.
While the liver produces small amounts of choline, you need to get the majority of the daily recommended intake from other sources. Luckily, it is naturally occurring in many foods and available as a dietary supplement. Below is the breakdown of the recommended daily intake of choline, according to Healthline:
- 0–6 months: 125 mg per day
- 7–12 months: 150 mg per day
- 1–3 years: 200 mg per day
- 4–8 years: 250 mg per day
- 9–13 years: 375 mg per day
- 14–19 years: 400 mg per day for women and 550 mg per day for men
- Adult women: 425 mg per day
- Pregnant women: 450 mg per day
- Breastfeeding women: 550 mg per day
- Adult men: 550 mg per day
Though choline is found in many foods that people eat every day, most people do not ingest the daily recommended amount, which can lead to a deficiency that would need to be corrected by supplements.
What are the Health Benefits of Choline?
Choline has an abundance of benefits for the body. Choline also plays important roles in modulating gene expression, cell membrane signaling, lipid transport and metabolism, and early brain development
Choline is used to treat conditions such as:
- Liver Disease
- Chronic Hepatitis
- Cirrhosis
- Depression
- Alzheimer’s Disease
- Huntington’s Chorea
- Tourette’s Disease,
- Seizures
- Schizophrenia
Choline is also taken by pregnant women to prevent neural tube defects in their babies and it is used as a supplement in infant formulas.
Is Choline Safe to Use for Hangovers?
Because choline heavily contributes to normal liver and brain function, it is extremely safe to use during hangover treatments. When combined with other essentials nutrients, like curcumin and milk thistle, it’s even more effective at preventing or curing hangovers.
