Recommended Intake
How Much Do You Need?
Since the available evidence is not sufficient, there has not been a determined recommended daily intake for choline. However, many medical institutions still have some guidelines for healthy people to ensure overall health and avoid negative deficiency. The exact dosages depend on gender, age, and genetic makeup. Below are the recommended choline values for various groups of age:
– 0 to 6 months old: 125 milligram/day
– 7 to 12 months old: 150 milligram /day
– 1 to 3 years old: 200 milligram /day
– 4 to 8 years old: 250 milligram /day
– 9 to 13 years old: 375 milligram /day
– 14 to 19 years old: 400 to 550 milligram/day
– Adults: 425 to 550 milligram/day
– Pregnant women: 450 milligram/day
