Choline is needed for the proper transmission of nerve impulses from the brain through the central
nervous system, as well as for gallbladder regulation, liver function, and lecithin formation.
It aids in hormone production and minimizes excess fat in the liver because it aids in fat and
cholesterol metabolism. Without choline, brain function and memory are impaired. Choline is
beneficial for disorders of the nervous system such as Parkinson's disease and tardive dyskinesia.
A deficiency may result in fatty buildup in the liver, as well as in cardiac symptoms, gastric
ulcers, high blood pressure, the inability to digest fats, kidney and liver impairment, and
stunted growth.
