Choline – Essential Nutrient for Pregnancy and Foetal Development

£17.95 Save £-17.95

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.

What is Choline?

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.

How does Choline support pregnancy?

Neural tube formation: Works with Folate to close the neural tube in the first weeks of gestation.
Brain development: Contributes to cell signalling and hippocampus function, supporting memory and cognitive health.
Liver protection: Helps prevent fat accumulation in the maternal liver, supporting overall metabolic health.

Who is it for?

Why supplement with Choline?

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.

When should I start taking Choline for pregnancy?

Begin Choline supplementation as soon as you plan to conceive and continue through pregnancy and breastfeeding to maintain consistent support.

Ingredients

Choline

Choline supports foetal brain development, methylation and liver function and is considered an essential nutrient for pregnancy and preconception.

Female Fertility
Choline plays a vital role in methylation, a biological process involved in DNA synthesis, hormone regulation and gene expression. In preconception care, choline supports the development of the neural tube and helps maintain liver health. It is often paired with folate in fertility supplements to optimise methyl donor status.

Pregnancy
Choline is essential for foetal brain and spinal cord development. It supports the formation of phosphatidylcholine, a key component of cell membranes, and is involved in acetylcholine synthesis, which contributes to memory and learning. During pregnancy, maternal demand for choline increases significantly. Supplementation supports placental function and may contribute to long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes.

Source ingredients:

L-Choline Bitartrate, Brown Rice Powder, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (Vegetable Capsule Shell), Silica (Bamboo Extract), Stearic Acid Powder, Anti-Caking Agent (Magnesium Stearate).
