Nootropics and cognitive enhancement supplements have always been a hot-topic in the nutrition industry. One product that has been a staple in this area is Choline, a fundamental supplement for brain health and function.

Your body produces small amounts of Choline in the liver, but not enough to meet daily requirements, making dietary sources or supplementation necessary. You can think of Choline as a fundamental building block for your brain – it's involved in everything from memory formation to muscle control.

There are two main types of Choline supplements we sell here at Capitol Nutrition: CDP Choline, and Choline Bitartrate.
CDP Choline is going to be your premium source of Choline with excellent bioavailability. CDP choline delivers both Choline and Cytidine to maximize its metabolic function.
Choline Bitartrate is another great Choline supplement, in a more wallet friendly form. This form of choline may need slightly hire dosing, but it can deliver the same great effects overall.
