Nootropics and Choline

What is choline?

Very recently only in 1998, choline is recognized as an essential nutrient,  and this is made by the body for its own needs.it's required for the normal function of the body for normal health. Although the body makes but a large amount also comes from food that we take every day.It's an organic, water-soluble  compound its neither vitamin nor mineral  and often grouped along with the vitamin B complex group due to its similarities,

 it impacts on

Liver function 

Healthy brain  function 

Nerves system  function 

Metabolism  function 

Therefore adequate  amounts  are always  needed for the body to function  properly,(1),(2) 

Let's see

                                       Nootropics and choline

What choline does?

Choline plays a very important  role in many processes  going on in the body some of them are

Cell structure 

It makes the cell membrane 

Cell messaging 

It is involved in  the  production  of  compounds  that acts as cell messengers at transport and metabolism It's required  for removing the cholesterol  from the liver, if it is inadequate  then there is the buildup of cholesterol  levels 

DNA synthesis 

Choline with vitamin -B12, and Folic acid takes part and produce DNA

Nervous system  maintenance 

It's important to produce  acetylcholine which is a neurotransmitter for the nervous system 

And this is also involved  in 

Memory 

Muscle movement 

Heartbeat regulations 

Other basic functions 

How much is required? 

This also depends on  gender and age and health conditions but a healthy individual  needs about 550mg/ day

What are health benefits? 

1., May be helpful to  Heart health 

Choline may reduce the risk of heart  disease  by lowering the homocysteine levels 

2,:-May help in Brain problems 

It regulates and improves 

Memory, mood, and intelligence 

Better memory and processing

Brain development 

Mental health  disorders 

Mood disorders 

Bipolar disorder 

3,:-May help in liver disease 

It reduces  liver risk by 28%

4,:-May help in Cancer

There are mixed results  and more research is  needed

What are the negative impacts? 

Taking too much choline  can be harmful it can create  side effects  such as a drop in blood pressure, sweating, fishy body odor, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting The upper limit is 3500mg/day, this limit is just not possible if you are not taking any choline supplements,(3),(4)

Does it good for nootropics? 

It has all properties to help Brain, and because of that it is good for nootropics and in fact is already present in many supplements meant for nootropics. 

So, where does choline stands, as for as nootropics facts are concerned choline is too important as a nootropic, about nootropics activity its basic molecule involve in brain activities, we think choline and choline derivatives can be a very interesting choice as nootropics?

Nootropics and Carnitine

What is Carnitine?

L-Carnitine is a derivative of naturally occurring amino acid, its very popular,  and used for bodybuilding, fitness, and weight loss programs as a supplement. In a broad sense, it is a nutrient and dietary supplement 

It's produced in labs and it is a synthetic product, the body itself produces it for its needs, very small amounts it can be managed from food, what we eat particularly meat and fish. For some people, vegans or people with certain  genetic  issues, it has to be given as a supplement,(1).,(2)

 Let's see 

                            Nootropics and  Carnitine

The several types of carnitine which are used for supplements  are

L- Carnitine

This is the most required type and standard  bioactive form of carnitine

This is a very inactive form, it should not be used

Acetyl- Carnitine

Most active form for the brain, this is more beneficial for people with neurodegeneration.

Propionyl - L-Carnitine

More active form for blood circulation improves blood flow

L -Carnitine-L-Tartarate

More active form for supplements  meant for sports, weight loss For most people, acetyl-L-Carnitine is the best working type

How it works? 

Its main role in our body is

1,:-Energy production

2,:-Mitochondrial function

In cells carnitine transport fatty acids, where they burn and produce energy,  for this purpose, most carnitine, about 90% only contained in muscles where it produces energy by utilizing fatty acids as fuel, and in turn, it helps in weight loss.

Where it occurs in nature?

                            Carnitine  in Nature

What are the health benefits of  Carnitine? 

Carnitine is associated with energy production that too in muscles, where it utilizes fatty acids rather than carbohydrates.

1,:-May help in weight loss

It really works, research studies confirm this.

2,:-May help in exercise  performance 

These benefits  are indirect and it takes  time, these are long term benefits,(3) 

Recovery

May improve  exercise  recovery 

Muscle oxygen supply

May increase oxygen supply to muscles

Stamina 

May increase blood flow,  delay discomfort, and reduce fatigue 

Muscle Soreness

May reduce muscle  soreness after exercise 

Red blood cell  production 

May increase the production of red blood  cells, which are also responsible  for oxygen 

Transport to full body

3,:-May help brain

It provides  almost all-round  health benefits  in this area studies suggested that

It prevents age-related mental decline

It improves  markers of learning

Although  recommend doses varies from 500 to 2000 gram/day depending on for what the purpose it is  used

Who should take it?

Older adults,  vegans, and vegetarians

Some very specific  use such as for cases of brain, and blood circulation 

Does it good for nootropics? 

If you see it used for more betterment for the brain, so it should  be used as nootropics in fact, it is used in a lot of supplements  meant for nootropics 

So what we have to say about this, from nootropics facts point of view, it's most trusted drug today, about nootropics activity, it has more than enough activity in the area of brain and brain functions, its side effects are also very limited, all said and done it can be very good choice.

Nootropics and DMAE

Let's see 

                               Nootropics and  DMAE

How it works? 

It works by increasing the production of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in sending signals to nerves. Acetylcholine is also supposed to be responsible  for regulating many functions of the brain such as,(3),(4)

Sleep

Muscle contractions

Pain responses

Also, prevent the formation of beta-amyloid buildup in the brain, beta-amyloid is responsible for the age-related decline of brain function,  such as memory  loss

What are the health benefits of DMAE? 

There are not many  research studies in this area, and also whatever  information  we have is an old one

1,:-Support memory 

Very little evidence  in this area, it may be helpful to  protect memory 

2,:-Reduce hyperactivity

In this area, it is reported to  be helpful,  particularly  in children's

Benzilate de deanol

Bisorcate de deanol

Cyclohehylpropionate deanol 

Deanol  aceglumate

Deanol hemisuccinate

Deanol  pidolate

Deanol  tartrate

Does it worth as nootropics? 

In spite of side reactions  and also not much information  available  about these products, this is also one of the most used products in supplements meant for nootropics.,(5) 

So where do we stand, from nootropics facts point of view, this product is great, its effective about nootropics activities also it works, and doctors are using it in a big way, and a lot of research studies information we have, we think it can be used as nootropics, but as it is the drug, you must inform your doctor before taking a decision about this.
