This review is from: Choline Chloride - 16 oz,(Vitamin Research Products) (Health and Beauty)

I started buying Choline Chloride after reading research into "smart drugs" (compounds to enhance cognitive function) some years ago. The theory with Choline Chloride is that it increases the body's access to the chemical building blocks of the neurotransmitter Acetyl Choline and that this access produces an increase in some measures of intellectual ability.

Whether or not this works is largely subjective. Its effects are subtle and might be the result of the placebo effect. I only know that when I use it, I tend to write more and faster than when I don't, and that one co-worker who tried it said it gave her the feeling of being "detached" or "disengaged."

Interestingly enough, the liquid form of the compound that you find here is not the only form. Twinlabs offers a powdered form of the compound ("choline cocktail") to which they add caffeine and various other things in a way that seems not altogether honest. That is, if the actual compound you're paying for has real efficacy on its own, why should the manufacturer have to ramp up the effects with energy-boosting components?

I like the liquid version I review here and I prefer it because Vitamin Research at least trusts their product to function on its own without augmentation. One important thing to keep in mind when taking Choline Chloride: it is a good idea to not take more than the recommended dose unless you really enjoy your time in the bathroom.

5.0 out of 5 stars Choline Chloride for memory improvement, August 11, 2007

I have had memory problems since having open-heart surgery in 2001 and I read about how Choline Chloride could possibly help me with it. I already knew about it so when I saw that I could buy it right now online, and in liquid form, I bought it. It really does help, at least in my case. You notice when you find yourself suddenly remembering a name or a word or where you put something, and other things. It's subtle but you notice it if that doesn't usually happen so easily.
The taste isn't great but not too bad when you mix it in some juice. I usually use 2 to 3 teaspoons (3 tsps = 1 tbsp, or 1/2 oz.), and drink it in Gatorade or Powerade, but any juice will work. You can still taste it, but not too bad. Just have some plain juice ready to sip down after, but not so much that you dilute it too much. And I believe it helps to drink it on an empty stomach. I would recommend it if you're looking for something to help your memory.
If you need help measuring, a NyQuil measuring cup works great. The top line is 1 oz.(2 tablespoons). 3 teaspoons make 1 tablespoon, which is also 1/2 ounce.
