> In conclusion, our findings suggest that moderate dietary choline intake, ranging from 332.89 mg/d to 353.93 mg/d, is associated with lower odds of dementia and better cognitive performance.

Gemini tells me that amounts to ~850mg of alpha GPC or ~1900mg of citicoline. Eggs it is then.

How are you going to check Gemini’s math on that?

Claude tells me that’s 4-5 eggs per day or 5x150 mg alpha gpc capsules.

The eggs would be a lot more expensive in both time and materials plus most egg farms seem cruel (especially male chick killing)… I’m leaning towards alpha gpc supplements.

Gemini used 40% choline by weight for alpha GPC and 18% for citicoline, which seems to check out with other sources.

I haven't looked into the studies recently, but there have been some negative findings with alpha GPC supplementation[1]. May be worth a gander.

Eggs are safe as long as you limit yourself to one medium egg per day.

Does a 100% safe and effective source of choline exist? Maybe a combination of eggs and supplements are the way to go?

This stuff goes over my head, but perhaps one can take something to lower TMAO (I see EVOO, allicin, resveratrol, PQQ from a cursory search) to offset choline supplementation. This is assuming TMAO is the cause of increased disease risk and not just a biomarker.
