Health benefits at a glance:

First of all, what is CDP-choline? CDP-choline stands for cytidine-5’-diphosphate choline and is an essential nutrient involved in many physiological processes such as communication within and between our cells

Choline is also required for the structural integrity of cell membranes.

Despite the fact that our body can produce the substance in small quantities, a substantial portion of the population consumes inadequate amounts of choline, and dietary intake of the nutrient becomes increasingly important for brain health as we age. (1,2)


Why it works:

Choline is a substance needed by our brains to produce acetylcholine, a major brain/motor neurotransmitter that facilitates communication between neurons — a basic part of healthy brain function. 

This neurotransmitter is essential to healthy cognition, attention, memory function and more. Unfortunately, our brain cells absorb less choline as we age.

Citicoline (CDP-Choline) can provide a form of choline that readily passes through the blood-brain barrier (BBB) directly into the brain, where cells can easily use it to nourish cellular membranes and support neurotransmitter production.


The science behind the product:

CDP-choline can promote the synthesis of neurotransmitters, particularly acetylcholine, in the brain, which is believed to explain many of its beneficial effects. (3)

In the brain, choline serves as a precursor to acetylcholine, a major neurotransmitter that is important for signal transmission between nerves and implicated in cognitive processing.

CDP-choline is also a neuroprotectant and a promoter of neuroplasticity, with a track record of supporting healthy cognition, memory and overall function in numerous clinical trials. (3-5)

In addition to its clinically studied brain power benefits in older adults, low doses of citicoline have been shown to support a healthy mood. (6)

CDP-choline can also support phosphatidylcholine production, an important phospholipid for nerve growth, function, and cellular membrane repair. (3)
