The most abundant neurotransmitter in the body and the primary neurotransmitter between neurons and muscles. The stomach, spleen, bladder, liver, sweat glands, blood vessels, and heart are just some of the organs that this neurotransmitter controls. The body's synthesis of acetylcholine is vital because of the neurotransmitters role in motor behavior and memory. Low levels of acetylcholine can contribute to lack of concentration and forgetfulness and may cause light sleep. The body synthesizes acetylcholine from the nutrients choline, lecithin, and DMAE, and ancillary nutrient cofactors, such as vitamins C, B1, B5, and B6, along with the minerals zinc and calcium. Acetylcholine helps control muscle tone, learning, and primitive drives and emotions. It also controls the release of pituitary hormone vasopressin, which is involved in learning and in the regulation of urine output. |
