What is Citicoline?

Citicoline (also known as CDP-choline or cytidine diphosphate-choline) is a naturally occurring compound involved in cell membrane repair, brain metabolism, and neurotransmitter production. It plays a key role in maintaining the structural integrity and function of cell membranes, particularly in neuronal cells.


How Citicoline Works

Citicoline plays a vital role in maintaining cellular stability, supporting neurotransmission for enhanced communication between nerve cells, and promoting metabolic function for optimal brain function.

  1. Supports Phospholipid Synthesis
    • Citicoline provides precursors for the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, a key component of cell membranes. This helps repair and protect brain cells.
  2. Supports Neurotransmitter Levels
    • Citicoline provides choline, essential for the production of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in learning, memory, and attention.
  3. Supports Brain Energy
    • It supports mitochondrial function, boosting ATP production in brain cells and supports cognitive function.
