 Story at-a-glance

  • Choline is important in healthy fetal development, fat metabolism, cell messaging, mitochondrial health and cognitive performance
  • Choline deficiency may be a primary trigger for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), affecting 30% to 40% of the adult population
  • The Institute of Medicine set an adequate daily intake value that is affected by several factors, including pregnancy, endurance exercise, high alcohol consumption and a vegan lifestyle
  • A single hardboiled egg may contain 25% of your daily requirement of choline; other good sources include grass fed beef liver, wild-caught Alaskan salmon, organic pastured chicken, shiitake mushrooms and krill oil
