Choline Prenatal.
Choline is an essential nutrient for all ages and stages of life.
For women, the requirement for choline increases significantly during pregnancy and lactation.1
Adequate intake of choline during pregnancy & lactation helps to both replenish maternal stores and support the growth and development of baby’s brain and spinal cord.2
Despite its importance, few pregnant or lactating women are meeting their needs for choline.3 Expecting mothers may want to consider adding a choline supplement to their diet.
Choline, a Baby Brain Builder
Choline is an essential nutrient that supports the growth and development of the child’s brain and spinal cord.7,8 During pregnancy, a baby’s brain expands by about 250,000 nerve cells per minute, creating a huge demand for choline.
Recent research highlights some of the benefits that higher intake of choline during pregnancy can provide to both mom and baby:
Supports Cognitive Development:
Choline aids in the development of multiple aspects of cognitive function, including learning,
memory, and attention. 4
Enhances Baby’s Neurocognitive Ability:
Children born to mothers who consume supplemental choline (930 mg/day) during the 3rd trimester of pregnancy have been shown to have improvements in information processing speed as early as 4-13 months of age.
Cognitive Benefits That Last:
A follow up study of those same children at age 7 showed that choline supplementation during
pregnancy improved children’s sustained attention & cognitive function – 7 years later! 6
Boosts DHA Uptake:
Supplementing VitaCholine® with DHA during pregnancy significantly increases blood DHA concentration, making more DHA available for baby10.
Essential nutrient that supports the growth and development.

Phosphatidylcholine is the main building block for cell membranes and sphingomyelin insulates the axons that carry messages throughout the brain and body. Unfortunately, 96% of pregnant women in the United States aren’t consuming enough choline.9
We continue to fund important research studies that are on the leading edge of science.
