Industrial Uses

1. Animal Healthcare

  • Nutritional Supplement in Feed: Major use as a feed additive for poultry, pigs, fish, and pets. Supports fat metabolism, prevents fatty liver, and promotes healthy growth and development. Helps in nerve impulse transmission and cell membrane structure.
  • Growth Promoter: Enhances feed conversion ratio (FCR) and weight gain in livestock. Often included in premixes, concentrates, and complete feeds.

2. Pharmaceuticals

  • Nutraceuticals & Dietary Supplements: Used in human nutrition as a vitamin-like essential nutrient. Helps in liver function, brain development, and muscle movement. Supports prenatal health and is often included in prenatal vitamins.
  • Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API): Used in neurological health supplements for supporting cognitive function and memory. Sometimes combined with inositol in supplements to support brain health.

3. Food & Healthcare Ingredients

  • Nutritional Additive: Added to fortified foods, energy drinks, and functional foods as a source of choline. Essential for fat transport and metabolism, especially in liver health formulations.

4. Agrochemicals

  • Plant Growth Promoter: Occasionally explored as a growth stimulant in plant nutrition, particularly in hydroponics and controlled environment agriculture, although less common than in animal nutrition.

5. Performance Chemicals

  • Intermediate in Organic Synthesis: Used in the production of phospholipids and other bio-based chemicals. Precursor for synthesis of betaine and other derivatives.
