Acetylcholine (ACh):<br><br>The most abundant
neurotransmitter in the body and the primary neurotransmitter
between neurons and muscles. The stomach, spleen,
bladder, liver, sweat glands, blood vessels, and heart are
just some of the organs that this neurotransmitter
controls. The body's synthesis of acetylcholine is vital
because of the neurotransmitters role in motor behavior
and memory. Low levels of acetylcholine can
contribute to lack of concentration and forgetfulness and
may cause light sleep. The body synthesizes
acetylcholine from the nutrients choline, lecithin, and DMAE,
and ancillary nutrient cofactors, such as vitamins C,
B1, B5, and B6, along with the minerals zinc and
calcium. Acetylcholine helps control muscle tone,
learning, and primitive drives and emotions. It also
controls the release of pituitary hormone vasopressin,
which is involved in learning and in the regulation of
urine
output.<br><br><a
