Choline: The Unsung Nutrient Every Woman Needs During Menopause & Perimenopause

When it comes to supplements, most people have heard of Vitamin D, Magnesium, or Iron. But choline? It often flies under the radar, yet it plays a huge role in helping your body function at its best. And for women navigating perimenopause or menopause, it might just be the missing piece in your wellness routine.

What is Choline and Why Does It Matter?

Choline is an essential nutrient involved in many of your body’s most important systems. It supports:

Brain function and memory

Nervous system communication

Fat metabolism

Cell membrane structure

Low choline levels have been linked to symptoms like brain fog, forgetfulness, fatigue, and even mood changes — all of which are already common in perimenopause and menopause.

How Much Choline Do You Need?

The recommended daily amount for adult women is 425mg per day. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, the requirement goes up to 450–550mg.

Let’s put that into food perspective:

1 large egg: ∼147mg

85g salmon: ∼56mg

1 cup broccoli: ∼63mg

1 slice whole grain bread: ∼15mg

While you can get choline from food, most people fall short of the daily recommended amount without even realising. This is especially true for women experiencing brain fog, hot sweats, and fatigue during perimenopause and menopause.
