Vitamins

CholineCholineFunctionCholine supports cell membrane structure and neurotransmitter production. Eggs are one of the most concentrated everyday sources.Top food sources of Choline →0.028 / 550 mg0%
Vitamin EVitamin EFunctionVitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that helps protect cell membranes from oxidative stress, which ties into recovery from training and daily wear.Top food sources of Vitamin E →2.41 / 15 mg16%
