Choline
[C5H14NO]+ (104.10753340000001)
Choline is a basic constituent of lecithin that is found in many plants and animal organs. It is important as a precursor of acetylcholine, as a methyl donor in various metabolic processes, and in lipid metabolism. Choline is now considered to be an essential vitamin. While humans can synthesize small amounts (by converting phosphatidylethanolamine to phosphatidylcholine), it must be consumed in the diet to maintain health. Required levels are between 425 mg/day (female) and 550 mg/day (male). Milk, eggs, liver, and peanuts are especially rich in choline. Most choline is found in phospholipids, namely phosphatidylcholine or lecithin. Choline can be oxidized to form betaine, which is a methyl source for many reactions (i.e. conversion of homocysteine into methionine). Lack of sufficient amounts of choline in the diet can lead to a fatty liver condition and general liver damage. This arises from the lack of VLDL, which is necessary to transport fats away from the liver.

Pelargonidin
Pelargonidin, also known as pelargonidin chloride (CAS: 134-04-3) is an anthocyanin. Anthocyanins are water-soluble glycosides and acylglycosides of anthocyanidins, which are polyhydroxy and polymethoxyl derivatives of a 2-phenylbenzopyrylium (flavylium) cation. They are widely distributed in foods of plant origin, especially in fruits and vegetables with dark red and blue colours. Numerous epidemiologic and clinical trials show that fruits and vegetables, many of which are rich in anthocyanins, may be related to the decreased incidence of many chronic and degenerative diseases, including heart disease, cancer, and aging. Antioxidant mechanisms were suggested as potential means of disease prevention. Anthocyanins are strong antioxidants in vitro. In most cases, fruits and vegetables with high anthocyanin content were shown to have higher antioxidant capacity than other fruits and vegetables. Whether anthocyanins are effective antioxidants in vivo remains an open question primarily because of the relatively low apparent absorption of anthocyanins compared with other phenolic compounds (PMID: 15465754). BioTransformer predicts that pelargonidin is a product of 5-[(6-{[(2-carboxyacetyl)oxy]methyl}-3,4,5-trihydroxyoxan-2-yl)oxy]-3,7-dihydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1λ⁴-chromen-1-ylium metabolism via a glycoside-hydrolysis reaction occurring in human gut microbiota and catalyzed by an EC.3.2.1.X enzyme (PMID: 30612223). Anthocyanin pigment present in many plants, flowers and fruits, e.g. cherries, raspberries, radishes, orchids, brassicas, Petunia subspecies Glycosides also widely distributed. Pelargonidin is found in many foods, some of which are almond, radish (variety), garden tomato, and tarragon.
