Replace "choline" with "choline bitartrate" for accuracy. Add phosphatidylcholine (red link), the lecithin stuff you get from eggs and soy. (It does have an agreeable smooth milky taste!) Mention dietary sources, if you are the egg-eating type.

Precursors such as [[choline]], [[citicoline]] and [[alpha-GPC]] are direct building blocks for acetylcholine and supplementing them may allow it to accumulate at higher levels than that which it otherwise would.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors=((Zeisel, S.

Supplements such as [[choline bitartrate]], [[citicoline]], [[alpha-GPC]], and [[phosphatidylcholine]] provide choline, the direct building block for acetylcholine. Supplementing them may allow ACh to accumulate at higher levels than that which it otherwise would. Choline is an essential dietary nutrient; for food sources and recommended intake levels, see {{Wikipedia|choline}}.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors=((Zeisel, S.
