Choline was discovered in 1864 by Andreas Strecker, Choline is a water soluble organic compound. This nutrient is found in the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and lipids which make up cell membranes. Choline is a member of the Vitamin B Complex group and it is generally required for physiological purposes like structuring of cell membranes, as a precursor molecule for neurotransmitter acetylcholine and to protect the livers from accumulation of fat. Besides the infant or fetus brain development, choline can also prevent memory loss caused due to aging. Your homocysteine levels related to cardiovascular diseases and cholesterol can be lowered by it. The recommended intake of choline which is found in peanut butter, beef liver, cauliflower and almonds is 550 mg for men and 425 mg for women.

Folic Acid or Vitamin B9 is essential as it assists the formation of red blood cells in the body and genetic material within every cell.

Folic acid is an important nutrient for pregnant women to prevent congenital malformation in the fetus. It reduces the risk of brain and spinal cord defects, heart defects, limb defects, urinary tract abnormalities and cleft palate in the fetus.

A deficiency which is rare, leads to leg cramps, gastrointestinal problems, anemia, insomnia, depression, a burning sensation in the limbs and a weakened immune system.

Vitamin B6 is important to a healthy human diet and is equally important in various metabolic and synthesis functions as well as gene expression.
