Choline delivers targeted support for neural tube formation, foetal brain growth and maternal liver health, making it an essential addition to your prenatal and postnatal nutrition plan.
This nutrient is vital for your baby’s brain, spine and nervous system development, playing a key role in foetal growth, cognitive function and maternal liver health during pregnancy. Working in tandem with Folate, Choline supports neural tube formation, helping reduce the risk of birth defects, and continues to nourish your baby via breastmilk.
Our 400mg choline (choline bitartrate) supplement has been specifically formulated to be used alongside our Vital Essence range from trimester 1 through to 3, as well as during the postnatal period alongside Revital Essence.
Choline is a water-soluble micronutrient that acts as a precursor to Acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter) and is integral to cell membrane structure, fat metabolism and methylation pathways.
We believe in complete transparency and quality you can trust. Each batch is independently tested, and we make our certificates available so you can be assured of the purity, safety, and consistency of our products.

Crucial for neural tube formation and brain development, Choline supports cognitive development in your infant. Choline extends its support into the postnatal period, influencing breast milk quality – a vital aspect of infant growth and development.
The risk of inadequate Choline status is a concern, especially for pregnant and lactating women who may not take folic acid supplements, have low vitamin B12 status, or possess a common variant affecting folate metabolism. These factors decrease the body's pool of methyl groups necessary for metabolism.
Despite the body's ability to produce some Choline in the liver, dietary sources are crucial. This high-strength Choline supplement ensures sufficient intake, especially for pregnant individuals who may face challenges in meeting their Choline needs through diet alone. Supplementing ensures both you and your baby receive adequate levels for optimal development and maternal wellbeing.
Begin Choline supplementation as soon as you plan to conceive and continue through pregnancy and breastfeeding to maintain consistent support.
