Choline
Buy Choline – A Vitamin-Like Nutrient in Capsules & Complexes
Choline is a water-soluble, vitamin-like nutrient that chemically belongs to the group of quaternary ammonium compounds. The body can produce choline itself in small amounts, but the main part is taken in through food. In this category, you'll find choline supplements from Scheunengut – with a defined choline content, vegan and lab-tested.
Origin & Extraction
In foods, choline occurs mainly in the form of phosphatidylcholine (lecithin). For supplements, it is often obtained as choline bitartrate, choline citrate or as a component of sunflower lecithin and adjusted to a fixed choline proportion.
Standardisation & Format
The declared choline content per capsule or portion is decisive. Choline is available as capsules, powder or in a lecithin form. It is often combined with B vitamins or with betaine and inositol; it can also be found in liver-oriented formulations with milk thistle and artichoke.
What to Look for When Buying
- Transparently declared, standardised choline content
- Origin of the raw materials, such as sunflower lecithin
- Vegan and without unnecessary additives
- Independently lab-tested quality

Häufige Fragen zu Choline
Why is choline important?
Choline is a vitamin-like nutrient that contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism and normal lipid metabolism, as well as to the maintenance of normal liver function. As a building block of phosphatidylcholine, it's also a component of cell membranes. The body only produces small amounts itself, so most of it needs to come from the diet.
What forms is choline available in?
For food supplements, choline is usually obtained as choline bitartrate, choline citrate, or from sunflower lecithin (phosphatidylcholine), and standardised to a fixed choline content. It's available as capsules, powder, or in lecithin form. It's often usefully combined with B vitamins or with betaine and inositol.
What should I look out for when buying?
What matters most is a clearly declared choline content per capsule or portion, as this varies considerably depending on the compound. Our choline products are vegan, lab-tested, and made in Germany without unnecessary additives. Also consider whether you prefer the pure form or a complex with complementary nutrients.
Who is choline of particular interest to?
Choline is found mainly in eggs, meat, and legumes. Anyone eating a purely plant-based diet, or eating few choline-rich foods, may take in somewhat less of it and often prefers a targeted supplement as a result. Our vegan choline products are well suited to this kind of reliable, planned supplementation.
