J Nutr Sci Vitaminol (Tokyo). 2022;68(Supplement):S34-S36. doi: 10.3177/jnsv.68.S34.

Abstract

Nutrients are sometimes handled differently in different countries. Choline is not yet a popular research topic, and it may be difficult to recognize its importance as a nutrient. Choline, which is the topic of this paper, is handled differently in different countries. However, the one thing that can be said to be common among all countries is that no country has a sufficient intake of choline that meets the target level.

Keywords: adequate intake; choline; growth hormone; vitamins-like material.
