The Solgar Choline 350mg is a dietary supplement in phytocapsules, with 350mg of choline per capsule, in the form of bitartrate choline. The package contains 100 phytocapsules, one of the largest sizes in the range.
It is aimed at adults who want to cover their choline intake, people with diets without eggs and meat, the main dietary sources of it, and those who monitor their lipid metabolism with the help of their doctor.
Choline is a nutrient that is not classified as a vitamin or a mineral. The body synthesizes a quantity in the liver, but not enough, which is why the European Food Safety Authority has set an adequate intake for adults. It is mainly found in the yolk of the egg, liver, meat, fish, legumes, and cruciferous vegetables.
In the body, choline is used for the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, a structural lipid of cell membranes, and participates in the cycle of methyl groups, the biochemical process where homocysteine is transformed. This explains why its approved roles concern lipids, homocysteine, and the liver*. The bitartrate form of choline, that is, the salt of choline with tartaric acid, is stable in powder form and convenient for encapsulation.
According to the product presentation by Solgar:
The above statements are attributed to the producer. In this case, they coincide with the three approved health claims for choline under Regulation (EC) 1924/2006, so they are used in the rest of the text with the approved wording.
It is a single-ingredient preparation, without additional B vitamins or other active ingredients, which allows you to adjust the intake of choline separately from the other supplements in your program. The composition is suitable for vegans, gluten-free, dairy-free, and with Kosher certification.
It suits adults with a vegan or vegetarian diet, as the richest sources of choline are of animal origin. It suits those who have restricted eggs from their diet for other reasons. It interests people who monitor their lipids or homocysteine in agreement with their doctor, and those who want a large package for continuous use without frequent purchases.
The product is a dietary supplement, it does not replace a medical diagnosis or treatment and does not replace a balanced diet. Anyone with a diagnosed liver condition needs to be monitored by a doctor.
