choline chloride is the most widely used - and most economical - form of choline for supplementing diets. Mainly used as an animal feed additive. Generally classified as a B-complex vitamin
(referred to as vitamin B4 in some publications), choline influences the metabolism of carotene and vitamin A in animals. It is in fact an essential component for ensuring the proper functioning
of the nervous system. Choline plays a vital role in a number of different ways:
by building and maintaining cell structures;
by forming acetylcholine for the transmission of impulses;
by preventing perosis in poultry;
by building lecithin.
