Choline is a nutrient, essential for cardiovascular and brain function, and for cellular membrane composition and repair.

Physiology


Choline and its metabolites are needed for 3 main physiological purposes: structural integrity and signaling roles for cell membranes, cholinergic neurotransmission (acetylcholine synthesis), and as a major source for methyl-groups via its metabolite, trimethylglycine (betaine) that participates in the S-adenosylmethionine synthesis pathways.

When choline is metabolized by the body, it may form trimethylamine, a compound with a fishy odor. Hence, when large amounts of choline are taken (such as 10-16 grams/day as a dietary supplement), the person may suffer from a fishy body odor.

Chemistry


Choline is a quaternary saturated amine with the chemical formula
(CH3)3N+CH2CH2OHX.
