Choline has similarities to the B complex vitamins and within this context it is also called vitamin B4. Choline-rich foods are increasingly associated with liver function, homocysteine and lipid metabolism, so that the health significance of this natural product also increasingly attracts the interest of scientific research. Inositol is also called "muscle sugar" because of its sweet taste. This vital substance gets involved in many metabolic processes was and in the past it was classified as vitamin B8. However, since the body can produce small amounts of inositol itself, it is officially no longer classified as a vitamin.

Choline is widely used in nature in the metabolism of the living organisms. In the form of acetylcholine, it is a neurotransmitter that transmits stimulus between nerves and muscles. Choline plays an important role in the body in the transmission of methyl groups, so it contributes to a normal homocysteine metabolism. In addition, as a lipotropic factor, it contributes to normal fat metabolism and maintenance of a normal liver function.

The National Academy of Sciences, the US Institute of Medicine, recommends a daily minimum intake of 425 mg choline for adult women, or 550 mg for adult men. Therefore, the dosage of 450 mg per capsule was chosen consciously.

In foods it is found in small amounts in cereals, vegetables and nuts. Larger amounts are found in egg yolk, beef and pork liver. While 100g of peanuts contain about 50mg of choline, 100g of beef contain about 80mg. For instance, in order to provide the body with the choline content of two capsules of choline-inositol from ZeinPharma, you would need to consume 900 grams of peanuts or 600 grams of beef.

Inositol is practically present in all tissues of the human body. However, the concentration is particularly high in organs that have to achieve maximum performance, such as muscles, brain, kidneys and liver. In the diet, inositol is to be found in nuts, beans or wheat germ, mainly in the form of phytates. However, phytates can interfere with the absorption of important minerals such as calcium, iron and zinc when taken in large quantities. Inositol as a dietary supplement does not have this effect, while it neither loads us with "empty calories".

Due to the fact that the two nutrients work together synergistically, ZeinPharma® cholin- inositol capsules contain both choline and inositol in the optimal ratio of 1:1, in vegan capsules. In this form this “dynamic duo” is highly bioavailable and particularly well tolerated because choline is additionally in its bitartrate form. ZeinPharma® consciously uses only inositol of high purity because it does not affect the absorption of essential minerals and trace elements.

•    Perfect nutritional supplement for fat reduction and muscle building

•    Does not affect the absorption of minerals

•    Well tolerated and side-effect free

•    Very high bio-availability

•    Contributes to normal liver function

Please note that it is unfortunately not suitable for people with trimethylaminuria, since this disease requires a diet low in choline.
