The body is able to synthesize it’s own lipotropic factors when given all the ingredients: choline, inositol, betaine, folic acid and B vitamins. These elements are key to the proper metabolism and elimination of homocysteine, a potent oxidant (something you don’t want).*
Food Sources are diets that include:
- B-complex – see Vitamin B
- Choline from egg yolks, organ meats, soybeans, fish
- Inositol from beans, brown rice, nuts, meat, whole grains
When supplementing, look for products with:
- a complete formula including choline, inositol, betaine, folic acid and B vitamins
