Choline /ˈkəʊliːn/[3] occurs as a cation that forms various salts (X− in the depicted formula is an undefined counteranion).[4] Choline is a necessary nutrient for humans and many other animals.[5] To maintain health, it must be obtained from the diet as choline or as choline phospholipids, like phosphatidylcholine.[5]Humans and most animals make choline de novo, but production is insufficient in humans and most species. Choline is often not classified as a vitamin, but as a nutrient with an amino acid-like metabolism.[2] In most animals, choline phospholipids are necessary components in cell membranes, in the membranes of cell organelles, and in very low-density lipoproteins.[5] Choline is required to produce acetylcholine – a neurotransmitter – and S-adenosyl methionine, a universal methyldonor involved in the synthesis of homocysteine.[5]
