VitaCholine®

Balchem’s VitaCholine brings an advanced level of performance to the fi tness and nutrition market by fi lling the gap in proper dietary health left by insuffi cient choline intake. Not a trendy supplement or a contrived health aid, choline is an essential building block long recognized for cellular and organ health that enhances muscle performance and stamina. Choline brings myriad benefi ts to the training table, but what stands out is choline’s ability to improve muscle communication and muscle recovery during repetitive motion, resulting in better overall training output – very important qualities in fi tness or competitive athletics. Unfortunately most people, even those that try to eat right, don’t get enough choline in their diets. Worse, when the normal sources of choline are exhausted the body will pillage other key systems and organs. Bottom line? Keeping choline levels up can help to maximize performance and too little can actually push performance below the average.

Choline: Fuel for the FurnaceWorking on the cellular level, choline promotes and regulates proper metabolism for increased energy and endurance. Choline controls the deposition of fat, allowing the body to store it effi ciently or tap it immediately as an energy source for muscle use.

Choline: A Bandwidth Booster for Better ControlCholine enhances the sending of messages between the brain and muscle fi bers for more effi cient and precise movements, and improved coordination. Even better, choline’s aid in maintaining the nervous system delays the onset of central fatigue during strenuous activity.

Choline: Says ‘Yes’ to Optimizing ‘NO’ – Nitric Oxide Choline is a protector of Nitric Oxide, critical to maximal muscle exertion during training and recovery afterward. Nitric Oxide enables muscles to receive more blood and therefore, more oxygen and nutrients. The problem with NO is that the molecule lasts for only a second in the bloodstream and then has to be replaced. Enough choline optimizes NO, with obvious advantages to all and to body builders in particular.

Choline: To the Rescue Homocysteine has been linked to disorders of virtually every major system in the body, and is a byproduct of the production of creatine, which is necessary for muscle function. Greater muscle activity means more creatine and that means more homocysteine which cripples Nitric Oxide. Coming to the rescue, choline converts homocysteine into essential amino acids and other compounds that support muscle performance.

Choline: Extending the Walls of Endurance Choline offers a variety of competitive advantages based on its diverse biochemical functions. For example, by its conversion into betaine, it works to improve physical stamina and increase a body’s capacity for physical activity. Choline reduces the symptoms of fatigue, allowing the body to work harder longer.
