Choline is a water-soluble vitamin, which means that it is easily absorbed in the body (as most of the body is made of water and so are most of the foods eaten), but some of it may be lost in cooking.
Choline is a B-vitamin co-factor, which means it is not quite a vitamin, but works with all of the B-vitamins to help them perform their activities more effectively. Choline also works closely with another B-vitamin co-factor (inositol), together with vitamin H (biotin) to help turn the food that is eaten, into energy for the body, through the process of digestion.
Choline also works closely with folic acid (folate) and vitamin B12 (cobalamin) to help them perform their tasks much more effectively.
