Can taking choline supplements in your 50s prevent Alzheimer’s disease

And it said

:brain: Choline might help—but it’s not a guaranteed shield against Alzheimer’s. Recent studies suggest that moderate choline intake is associated with a lower risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, especially in middle-aged adults. But the relationship isn’t linear—too little or too much choline may actually increase risk, forming a U-shaped curve in terms of benefit.

Here’s what the research shows:

  • :bar_chart: A large UK Biobank study followed over 125,000 participants aged 40–70 for nearly 12 years. Those with moderate choline intake (around 333–354 mg/day) had 20–24% lower risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer’s compared to those with low intake.
  • :egg: That’s roughly the amount of choline found in two eggs.
  • :test_tube: Choline is essential for producing acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in memory and learning. It also helps maintain cell membranes and regulate gene expression.
  • :warning: Excessive choline intake may lead to the production of TMAO, a compound linked to heart disease and possibly cognitive decline.

So, if you’re in your 50s, adding choline-rich foods like eggs, fish, and legumes—or supplements if needed—might support brain health. But it’s best to aim for moderation, not megadoses. And always check with a healthcare provider before starting any supplement regimen.
