choline

I know that choline supplementation via lecithin pills (turns into choline + inositol) certainly helps my ability to focus.

Headaches are caused by a reduction of the amount of choline, and eating eggs or taking a choline supplement makes the headache go away.

Before people freak out about drugs/nootropics, choline is found in highest ammounts in eggs, beef livers, chicken hearts.

Be sure to take some choline (Alpha GCP seems good) along with any racetam, especially if you get headaches from the racetams, they can cause your brain to eat up choline.

Profound effects of combining choline and piracetam on memory enhancement and cholinergic function in aged rats.

There have been a number of studies done with choline supplements in a variety forms.

Uridine + Choline + DHA increases the rate of neurogenisis than simply DHA alone.

Plus with the massive amount of choline you have to take alongside the product, it became an inconvenience rather than an aid.

These nootropics were looked at as Alzheimer-preventing or -delaying drugs, and they cause an uptick in choline use that necessitates the supplements.

Because of this, all of them were taken with copious amounts of choline.

I would say it's pretty likely that increasing choline intake would have a significant effect on cognition.

Take uridine supplements (sublingually) and make sure you get adequate choline intake.

"Dimethylaminoethanol is related to choline and is a biochemical precursor to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine" (ACh).

> Choline precursors don't seem to have these same "down-regulation" harmful side effects when taken in moderation to bring brain acetylcholine levels back into "normal range." "Don't seem"?

Choline is essential for proper memory funciton as well.

Choline's positive effects on memory and the brain are very well known and increases in acetylcholine are one of the main methods of actions of nootropics in the racetam class.
