Love that you are inquiring about this! I have been down this rabbit hole for years since I learned genetically that my PEMF pathways requires 8 eggs a day or the equivalent (approximately 1200 mg). RDA for women as around 450 mg per day. If you look at foods high in choline it is liver and eggs. I am currently doing an oral cell membrane therapy to restore all cell membranes but the hepatic cells soak this up first and foremost to restore integrity and respiration! My cholesterol reduced in three months by 72 points upon retesting! It is the ONLY thing I have found to work for me and I did not want to go on a statin. Being a post menapausal women that tried keto and it raised my cholesterol to mid 300's I was eager to find a way to naturally reduce. I tried eating fish and chicken and increasing omega 3's but that was not the answer and my cholesterol actually went up. I sought out the cell membrane therapy (oral) and it worked. Fermented garlic did not:). My hormones have taken an interesting shift as well!!!! More to be uncovered! Dr. Chris Masterjohn (PhD in nutrition) has a free choline calculator and he has outlined what different forms of choline do including generating TMAO. So fascinating!

What about choline citrate? How bioavailable is it? There seems to be very little info on that. Choline citrate is absorbed through the stomach lining and never reaches the intestines so TMAO which is a byproduct of metabolized alpha-GPC choline in the intestine which supposedly causes CVD and stroke is not created. I'm not sure if taking choline citrate is as effective as taking alpha-GPC choline.
