10 Benefits of Choline
Benefit #1: Memory Development
Studies have found that choline plays an important role in fetal development, including memory development. Deficiency of choline during pregnancy can lead to problems with brain development and cause life-long brain structure and functional issues, including memory loss.
Some animal studies have established that low choline during pregnancy leads to memory decline in the offspring later in life. This does not happen in offspring whose mothers had high amounts of choline during pregnancy. According to the studies, better fetal brain development may result because of protection of DNA from adverse alteration both in the fetal stage and up to four years after birth.
