ACTIVATING YOUR BRAIN'S CHOLINERGIC SYSTEM WITH CHOLINE
Choline chloride, lecithin, and DMAE are unique smart nutrients that help supply the brain with the raw material (choline) to make acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that controls the brain's cholinergic nervous system. This system helps regulate bodily movements, such as sleepwalking and limb movements, during sleep. Acetylcholine synthesis also requires vitamin B5, vitamin B6, and vitamin C. DMAE is available as a nutritional supplement in powder, capsules, or liquid form (be sure to store it in a cool, dark place). The suggested common dosage is 100 milligrams a day. Choline-and lecithin-rich foods include cabbage, calf's liver, cauliflower, caviar, egg yolks, chick-peas, lentils, soybeans, and split peas. Vitamin B5 can be found in brewer's yeast, corn, lentils, lobster, meats (all kinds), peas, soybeans, sunflower seeds, wheat germ, and whole grains.
Persons with gastric ulcers or a history of ulcers should use choline supplements only with the consent of a physician because choline may increase the production of stomach acid. Choline supplements should not be used by persons with Parkinson's disease or by those who are taking presceiption anticholinergic drugs.
