Just read from the supplement watch website the following:

Choline plays a role in brain development , liver function and cardiovascular health. Choline is available in supplemental form as lecithin (or phosphatidylcholine) as well as purified choline capsules and as an ingredient in sports bars and drinks.

During pregnancy, choline intake of the mother may influence memory and brain development in the growing infant. Studies on choline and lecithin supplementation clearly show an increase in blood choline levels following supplementation with 1 – 5 grams of choline (or 5-15 grams of lecithin).

Any holy goddesses with dear little ones growing inside have tried lecithin supplement to get a genius?

What vitamins and minerals would pregnant women need to increase their intake of while they’re pregnant? This is a question for my nutritional chemistry class and I can’t find a good answer on line or in my book. Any help would be appreciated.
