Choline 250mg & Inositol 250 mg 120 capsules – G&G
Choline is an essential nutrient, often grouped within the B vitamin family, although it is not actually a vitamin. Choline is found naturally in some foods. The body can also produce small amounts on its own in the liver, but often not enough to meet daily needs. It has several important functions in the body, including as a methyl donor. Choline is converted into a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine, which helps muscles contract and plays an important role in the brain. Most choline is metabolized in the liver where it is converted to phosphatidylcholine, which helps build fat-carrying proteins and break down cholesterol. It is also ‘food’ for beneficial gut bacteria.
Inositol is a naturally occurring compound that is also often grouped together with the B vitamins. It is called vitamin B8, although (like choline) it does not actually meet the criteria to be called a vitamin. Inositol comes in different forms, the most common being myo-inositol. It plays a crucial role in various biological processes in the body, particularly in cellular signaling and metabolic regulation, where it is involved in the synthesis of important molecules such as phospholipids and neurotransmitters for the regulation of cell growth, differentiation and apoptosis, among others. Inositol also acts as a second messenger in the insulin signaling pathway, playing a crucial role in glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. In addition, inositol has been shown to have neuroprotective effects and may play a role in mental health and mood. Inositol is also an important component of cell membranes. It is found in many foods such as nuts, beans, fruits and cereals.
