Function:
Choline chloride is a precursor of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh). In the body, choline is synthesized into acetylcholine by reacting with acetyl coenzyme A through the catalysis of choline acetyltransferase.
Choline chloride can provide methyl groups and participate in methylation reactions in the body.
Application:
It is widely used as a feed additive in animal feed.
Used to treat certain nervous system disorders and liver diseases.
As a health supplement ingredient, it is mainly used to improve memory and protect the liver.
