Helps transport fatty acids into the mitochondria, where it is converted into energy. It is also involved in the formation of acetylcholine, one of the most important neurotransmitters. Studies indicate that it prevents neuronal cell death associated with aging by slowing oxidative damage and brain tissue inflammation.
