Examining the essentiality of maternal choline intake during early infant development
2016
Choline is an essential micronutrient with increased requirements during pregnancy and lactation due to a high demand by the developing fetus and infant. Animal studies have demonstrated that choline is essential for brain development, and as a component of all cell membranes it is hypothesized that choline is also required during the postnatal period for the rapidly developing immune system. Choline is not routinely consumed in supplements; therefore, food is the primary exogenous source.
