Choline chloride is an organic compound with the chemical formula C5H14ClNO, also known as 2-(trimethylammonio)ethanol chloride.It is a salt compound with a chloride ion and a choline cation.

Choline chloride is a colorless solid that is soluble in water. It has a strong ammonium chloride flavor. Choline chloride has coagulant properties and is used as a hemostatic agent. It is also commonly used as a reagent in the study of the cholinergic system and in neurology.

In living organisms, choline is an important neurotransmitter involved in many physiological processes, including neurotransmission, memory and muscle movement. Therefore, choline chloride has an important role in medicine and biochemistry.

In conclusion, choline chloride is a pharmacologically active and experimentally investigated compound that has a wide range of applications in medicine and biology.

Basic infermation 

Main pplication

Tissue culture medium, feed additive, clinically used as anti-fatty liver agent.

Used in the treatment of fatty liver and cirrhosis, also used as feed additives, can stimulate ovaries to produce more eggs, litters and livestock, fish, etc. weight gain

Choline chloride can effectively prevent and treat fatty deposits and tissue degeneration in the organs of livestock and poultry. It can promote the absorption and synthesis of amino acids. It can enhance the physical fitness and disease resistance of livestock and poultry, promote growth and development, and improve the egg production rate of poultry. Dosage 1-2g/kg.

It is an efficient nutritional supplement and fat eliminator.

As a feed additive, choline chloride has the following physiological effects: it can prevent fat accumulation in liver and kidney and its tissue degeneration; it can promote the recombination of amino acids; it can improve the utilization of amino acids, especially the essential amino acid methionine, in the body. In Japan, 98% of choline chloride is used as animal feed additives for chickens, pigs, beef cattle, and fish and shrimp. Most of them are processed into powder. 50% of the powder is made by adding excipients with appropriate particle size in the mixer in advance, and then adding aqueous choline chloride solution dropwise, mixing and drying. Some commercial powders are also combined with vitamins, minerals, drugs, etc. Choline chloride is a vitamin B drug and is used for hepatitis, liver degeneration, early cirrhosis, pernicious anemia and other conditions.

Choline chloride is also a plant photosynthesis enhancer, which has a significant effect on increasing yield. Wheat and rice can be sprayed during the gestation period to promote the differentiation of spikelets, more spike grains, spraying during the filling period can accelerate the speed of filling, spike grain full, thousand grain weight increased by 2 to 5 grams. Can also be used for corn, sugar cane, sweet potatoes, potatoes, radish, onions, cotton, tobacco, vegetables, grapes, mangoes, etc. to increase yield, the effect is stable in different climatic and ecological conditions; root tubers and other underground growth crops in the early stage of expansion with 60% water 10-20 ml (6-12 grams of active ingredients) per mu, add 30 liters of water diluted (1500-3000 times), spray 2 - 3 The effect of expansion and yield increase is obvious; ornamental plants such as rhododendron, a pineapple, geraniums, hibiscus, etc. to regulate growth; wheat, barley, oats anti-inversion.

Storage method

Choline chloride aqueous agent should be stored at a temperature of not less than -12℃ to avoid blocking the pipeline after crystallization.

Choline chloride powder should be stored in silos with dehumidification equipment to prevent moisture absorption of the product. Choline chloride powder will cause moisture absorption and clumping of the product, which will lead to blockage of the pipeline. Plant carrier choline chloride powder may have fermentation after long term moisture absorption.
