What is your experience for the most effective form of Choline?

1mon 11d ago by lemmy.world/u/Redditsux in nootropics

I was taking CDP-Choline for years based on recommendations from reddit nootropics at the time. And when I read eggs were a great source for them, I started consuming 2 eggs a day on top of that. I started pruning back some of my supplements as I wasn't sure they were helping. Choline was one of them, including eggs, and I didn't notice any reduction in my cognition.

Then about a year and a half ago, I forgot the reason, I ordered Alpha-GPC along with other supplements I would buy. After a month or so I felt a noticeable difference. I was sharper. Recalls were better. Learning also improved. I am still taking it to this day. My dose is 300mg of it daily, though bottle says I should take 600mg per day. I am taking half dose just out of caution and to observe moderation.

(personal note: I am a middle-aged male with concussion history who takes nootropics to enhance my brain health.)

Everytime I take anything choline related I get severely depressed/angry.

Ony exceptions have been DMAE / Huperzine A.

Anyone know why?

That's weird. Choline is in eggs and all kinds of foods. Does eating eggs make you depressed?

not at all! its weird, but consistent

Yeah I'm buying it in capsule form. I did find that the bulk item melted and solidified in the container. Its price in capsule form is now reasonable so I don't mind paying for it.
