Choline is CRITICAL during fetal development, it influences stem cell proliferation and apoptosis, thereby altering brain and spinal cord structure and function and influencing risk for neural tube defects and lifelong memory function. It is needed for the structural integrity and signaling functions of cell membranes; for normal cholinergic neurotransmission; for normal muscle function and for lipid transport from liver which is so important during pregnancy as lipids are necessary for proper brain development in utero. In a recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the nutrient choline was shown shown to have long-term benefits for children whose mothers consumed it during pregnancy – also helps the body more efficiently use an omega 3 fatty acid that is essential for fetal brain, cognition and vision development! Make sure you’re taking a prenatal that includes choline or supplement it along side! I took beef liver capsules for my prenatal which naturally contains choline! Mitolife has the best beef liver by far!
