Choline bitartrate is formed when choline is combined with tartaric acid. This increases its bioavailability, making it easier to absorb and more effective. Choline bitartrate is one of the more popular choline sources as it is more economical than other choline sources. It is considered a cholinergic compound as it increases levels of acetylcholine within the brain.
It is used in many fields like:
The product meets the specifications laid down by the FAO/WHO, the EU regulation on food additives, USP and the US Food Chemical Codex.
Choline Bitartrate is from chemically synthesized,and it is lactose free and gluten free,Non-GMO,Non-ETO;it does not contain any animal derived ingredients,it is BSE/TSE free.
