What is Citicoline?
Citicoline stands for cytidine 5-diphosphocholine, an intermediate in the biosynthesis of membrane phospholipids and brain acetylcholine. This nutrient is approved in Europe and Japan for use in stroke, Parkinson’s disease and other neurological disorders and is sold by the brand name Citicoline. In a way, you could consider it as a more potent form of choline.
Studies show that Citicoline Powder helps make phosphatidylcholine in human brain cell membranes; may increase acetylcholine synthesis; improves mental performance in patients with Alzheimer’s disease; and even improves memory in older people patients with memory deficits. A Belgian study has shown that administration to dogs improves their ability to learn and remember.
Citicoline Powder is a precursor to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, making it most beneficial for overall cognitive function and brain health. Citicoline Powder may improve hippocampal acetylcholine, this is the part of brain responsible for memory formation and may be most helpful for those experiencing age related cognitive decline.
Studies also show that hippocampal acetylcholine levels may be reduced in those who take racetams (such as Piracetam, Aniracetam ,etc.) because of acetylcholine uptake and mobilization.
Most people don’t get enough choline in their diet, which causes cognitive problems alone, and further taking racetams without the proper choline consumption can cause headaches and other various side effects. Research shows that 10% or less of the population consumes adequate choline.
There is also some evidence that suggests Citicoline Powder may positively effect memory formation and learning ability in young adults.
