PremiumConnecting the evidence…
Choline
“Choline is an essential dietary nutrient that serves as a precursor for methylation, affecting epigenetics globally, and plays a role in the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.”
Polyphenols
“Evidence suggests it influences sleep by regulating neurotransmitters in the brain such as gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) and acetylcholine. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is found in tea. It exerts potent antioxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-proliferative properties.”
Toll-like receptors
“Drugs that modulate neurotransmitter (e.g., serotonin, dopamine, acetylcholine) concentrations are a common strategy for treating alcohol misuse and neuropsychiatric disorders; however, many patients don't adequately respond to these drugs.”
Omega-3 & vitamin B12 increased nerve growth factor (boosts acetylcholine) in the brain after 2 generations.
“Omega-3 and vitamin B12 supplementation in rats increased nerve growth factor (NGF), which helps grow new brain cells and boosts acetylcholine levels and improved cognitive performance after 2 generations in rats.”

Low-Carb Lemon Tart Dessert (High Citrate & Choline)
“Citrate also gets converted into acetyl CoA, which is one of two precursors for the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is important for REM sleep, learning, and memory. The other precursor for acetylcholine is choline!”
Aliquot #67: Choline in metabolic and brain health
“It provides methyl groups for many aspects of metabolism, is a component of cell membranes, and is used to produce acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter for memory, mood, muscle control, and other nervous system functions.”

How Nicotine Affects Focus, Dependence, and Sleep
“Nicotine activates nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, and a meta-analysis of double-blind laboratory studies found small acute improvements across selected attention, memory, and motor-performance measures.”
Female sex hormone influences Alzheimer's pathology in mice, with implications for prevention and treatment.
“Researchers measured amyloid-beta accumulation in male and female mice when exposed to differing levels of cholinergic tone (acetylcholine release). Then, they examined the effects of removing the ovaries (the primary source of estradiol) and estradiol replacement on this relationship.”
Lifelong choline supplementation provides a potential shield against Alzheimer's disease in mice.
“Choline, an essential nutrient found in eggs, meat, fish, beans, and nuts, supports the production of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in neurogenesis, synapse formation, learning, and memory.”
