Nutritional Supplement Choline Bitartrate CAS 87-67-2 Choline Bitartrate
Product Description
Choline bitartrate is choline combined with a salt of tartaric acid.
Although the body produces a small amount of choline, humans must consume some in the diet as well to maintain good health, explains the Linus Pauling Institute, or LPI, at Oregon State University. Choline occurs in a wide variety of foods, including meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, peanuts, broccoli and Brussels sprouts. For inclusion in supplements, manufacturers combine choline with a type of salt, such as bitartrate. Consult a qualified health provider before taking choline supplements.
Choline bitartrate is a salt of choline. Like dihydrocholine citrate, it is a nutritional supplement and fat-removing agent.
Choline bitartrate can promote fat metabolism and prevent fat accumulation in the liver. As a vitamin product, it is widely used in s, health products and food nutrition. The pure product is colorless or white crystalline particles, easy to absorb moisture.
Choline bitartrate is one of the vitamins. It is widely distributed in the body in the form of phosphate or as acetylcholine, and is related to the metabolism of phosphate esters, the transmission of nerve impulses, and the prevention of abnormal amounts of fat accumulation in the liver (anti-fatty liver).

Function
Choline bitartrate is a salt of choline, also known as betaine. It is a water-soluble substance commonly used as a dietary supplement. Choline bitartrate has been linked to the nervous system and lipid metabolism and is said to have the following effects:
- Supports Nerve Function: As a precursor to choline, choline bitartrate plays an important role in the synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and may help maintain nervous system health.
- Improves memory and learning: Choline is one of the key components of neurotransmitters, so choline bitartrate is thought to help improve learning and memory.
- Promotes lipid metabolism: Choline bitartrate may help metabolize fat, maintain healthy cholesterol levels, and support cardiovascular health.
