What is choline?

Choline is a vitamin-like compound.

Choline, along with inositol, methionine, folic acid, and vitamin B6 and vitamin B12, are considered lipotropic factors since they help regulate the body's use of fat.

Choline is manufactured by the body, although it is controversial whether or not the body makes sufficient amounts of this substance to sustain good health. Sufficient amounts of folic acid, vitamin B12, and an amino acid called methionine are needed to make choline in the body.
