I wonder if choline supplementation would counteract this effect. In fact, I wonder if choline supplementation might help stave off dementia in general. As much as 90% of the population may be deficient in choline.[0]

- mmanfrin 12y ago(Wild speculation ahead) I think it has to -- almost all of the nootropics that people use (-iracetams) are recommended to be taken with choline supplements, as people tend to get headaches without them. These nootropics were looked at as Alzheimer-preventing or -delaying drugs, and they cause an uptick in choline use that necessitates the supplements. I feel that indicates choline is used in keeping the mind strong against Alzheimers.
- snarfy 12y agoI know that choline supplementation via lecithin pills (turns into choline + inositol) certainly helps my ability to focus.
