I don't think chiline is converted to acetylcholine, rather to phosphoitidylcholine (one of two pathways).@youngsinatra
Do you know much about the conversion of Choline to betaine in the body? I was reading about how cholines primary metabolic process is making betaine, and then the rest to cycle to acetylcholine and something else. But it seemed the only way it would be excreted would be after the betaine conversion. I read that pqq is the cofactor to the enzyme Choline dehydrogenase which makes this conversion to betaine. Maybe this is a stupid question- but is it possible for choline to build up in the body and not produce betaine if you don’t have adequate supply of PPQ ?
