Side Effects: Use only as directed. Excessive consumption of choline can cause excessive muscle tension, which may produce symptoms such as a stiff neck, headaches or gastric cramps. A few persons may develop a fishy smell when using a choline supplement due to bacterial degradation of choline in their intestines. If this occurs, try taking your choline in divided doses with meals rather than all at once. Persons with ulcers or a history of ulcers should consult their physician before using a choline supplement since choline may increase stomach acid production.
Recommended Dosage: Four to eight capsules per day in divided doses.
