GPC choline superior for cognitive function

[Guest guest]

Has anyone heard or used this as supplement

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choline_alfoscerate

It is supposed to be over the counter in US only but nutricentre does show it on their site

We bought it OTC in the US and tried it on Dan advice but caused big behavioural problems for our son when i asked Dr H about this he thought DS might do better with phophatadylcholine (sorry spelling not my strong point).But maybe we have special issues (unknown to us at the time) eg highish histamine and pyroluria. Doesen't Walsh say choline is contraindicated in these cases whereas inositol is helpful. I know Muscroft dosen't recommend choline to patients because of potential probs.

-,

Do you have a link or could you tell me which supplements are

helpful/harmful to high histamines,the Walsh info if you have

it handy.

My daughter seems to get allergy symptoms from a lot of the methyl

donars,and has problems with amines.

I have also just read something that suggests bacteria in the gut

produce amines.I knew fermented foods were a problem and realise now

that this may be a reason my daughter does so poorly on probiotics.

I need to investigate this a lot more.

I thought this link was interesting.
