I found Choline Citrate powder crystals tastes good to me in fruit juices. It's also tolerable as a small spoonful, though overly acidic. Other forms of powdered choline are notorious for tasting bad in drinks.
Choline is an essential nutrient with a daily requirement of ½ gram (425-550 mg), or more for experimental uses, so powdered is easier to pay for than capsules.

Mike85154; 2005Nov02; Choline Citrate Review:
> ... smells like fish...
The fresh bottle gives a slight whiff of fish but no fish taste to me. Trimethylamine is the fishy odor converted from all forms of choline. Common mouth bacteria can do the conversion, so only clean spoons should touch the bulk powder. I can't find on the web whether the fishy conversion can happen just from air oxygen when the hygroscopic Choline Citrate gets damp. If either starts to happen, I'll store most of the bottle in the freezer.
> ...gives bad headaches...
Maybe not a normal problem of choline. People with "bad" (vascular) headaches that respond to caffeine rather than aspirin may have migraine genes. Some aminos and herbs can unmask them by bouncing around hormone levels, possibly by reducing natural cortisol activity. Quelling migraine genes can require the mother of all cycled stacks.
