4. What is Choline?
● Choline: is a water-soluble vitamin-like
essential nutrient.
● It is a constituent of lecithin, which is
present in many plants & animal organs.
● The term cholines refers to the class of
quaternary ammonium salts containing the
N,N,N-trimethylethanolammonium cation.

5. Choline for memory
● Choline: to improve cognition & protect y
memory.
●

6. Choline for brain health
● Choline: is extremely important for your brain. It helps
brain to work properly, in all aspects.
● The most important functions of choline are helping
with memory, strengthening hippocampus, &
helping to create acetylcholine: the ‘learning
transmitter’.
● As a result, using choline for the brain is a great way
to improve pretty much all the parameters of
cognitive function.
● Not only does it aid in the proper development for
brain, it also helps prevent memory loss.

7. Choline for weight Loss
● Choline marketed for fat reduction or
weight loss is usually found in supplements
that also containin carnitine.
● As a single nutrient, it is usually found
under the names phosphatidylcholine or
phosphatidylinositol.

8. Choline for pets
● Choline: is indicated as part of the therapy
for dogs & cats with seizures (epilepsy).
● Choline appears to be effective in treating
small animal cognitive disorders (cognitive
dysfunction, "doggy and kitty Alzheimer's").

10. More Choline benefits:
● Choline: has potential for significant
reduction in anxiety with increasing choline
levels.
● It didn’t find any correlation between
choline and depression.
● Choline has the potential to improve mood!

11. Choline for Liver
● Choline: To Detoxify your liver
● Choline is involved in a great number of
functions in body, including the proper

blood pressure, increased sweating and
salivation, and a "fishy" body odor.

13. B8 & Inositol

14. Molybdenum

15. Benefits of Iodine

18. Nickel in vitamin uses & benefits
● Nickel; is an ultra trace element, being required in
very small concentrations so it can be used as a
cofactor for some B vitamins.
● Alternate names: Nickel; niquel.
● Nickel is the shiny mineral used in making coins in
the United States and in making electric guitar
strings, batteries, and stainless steel in the rest of the
world.
● It is found in the enzymes bacteria use to break down
urine and in some of the antioxidant enzymes found
in plants.

19. What Does Nickel Do in the
Human Body?
● Everyone consumes trace amounts of
nickel from food, primarily from plants that
contain nickel.
● People may absorb up to 1 mg of nickel
every day from their diets, especially when
they eat dark chocolate, nuts, or soy
products.

20. More info on Nickel in vitamins
benefits
● Scientists know that nickel absorbed from food
tends to stay in the body.
● It is thought to be a cofactor for the B vitamin
biotin & for vitamin B12.
● The body uses both biotin & vitamin B12 in
microgram (millionth of a gram) amounts, it
needs a much smaller amount of nickel for some
enzymes that use these vitamins.
● For this reason, nickel is known as an ultratrace
element.

21. Nickel uses in vitamins & as
Supplements
● Scientists estimate that the human body
needs about 100 micrograms (millionths of
a gram) of nickel every day.
● Since our diets usually provide about a
milligram of nickel a day, about 10 times as
much nickel as our bodies need, nickel
deficiency symptoms are unknown.
● Nickel supplements may assist in recovery
from some disease conditions.

22. Using Nickel Supplements to Assist Recovery from Disease
● Nickel supplements: help the body absorb
iron from food.
● This is helpful if there is a iron-deficiency
anemia, but harmful if there is
hemochromatosis, the hereditary iron-
overload disease.
● Some nutritionally oriented physicians also
recommend nickel supplements for
osteoporosis.
