Dietary choline supplements, but not eggs, up fasting TMAO levels
A recent study has shown no significant rise in trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) or platelet reactivity in healthy individuals who consumed four eggs daily, despite high choline content in egg yolks. However, choline bitartrate supplements providing similar total choline has increased both TMAO and platelet reactivity, indicating that the form and source of dietary choline differentially contribute to systemic TMAO levels and platelet responsiveness.
