No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The objective of this study is to determine the effects of consuming either 3 eggs per day and compare it to daily choline supplement (choline bitartrate) for a dose of approximately 400 mg/day on plasma concentrations of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), trimethylamine N oxide (TMAO) and plasma choline. The goal is to determine if choline given as phosphatidyl choline (from eggs) will have a more beneficial effect on plasma choline and microbiota.
