Acetylcholine

Acetylcholine is involved in a broad set of brain and nervous system functions. Acetylcholine is important for memory, learning, attention, and muscle contraction. Nutritional yeast provides both B1 and B5 simultaneously and can produce a calming effect reported within four to five minutes. Neither pickle juice nor kombucha supports acetylcholine formation to the degree that apple cider vinegar does. Acetylcholine is the chemical signal that tells a muscle to contract or relax. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that travels through the nervous system rather than the bloodstream. Acetylcholine is the key neurotransmitter of the parasympathetic nervous system. Acetylcholine is specifically responsible for the formation of new memories. Acetylcholine supports the growth of new synapses between brain cells. Acetylcholine is the primary neurotransmitter at the neuromuscular junction, the point where a nerve fiber meets a muscle fiber. Choline is the direct precursor to acetylcholine. Vitamins B1 and B5 are required cofactors for acetylcholine production beyond choline alone. Alzheimer's medications often try to raise acetylcholine levels because the acetylcholine system degrades earl…
