Description
Citicoline Sodium was originally a nutritional supplement rich in choline and cytosine with neuroprotective activity. Citicoline Sodium, also known as cytidine-5-bisphosphocholine or CDP-choline, is hydrolyzed in the intestine into cytidine and choline. Citicoline Sodium is found in all animal and plant cell membranes and occurs naturally in small amounts in some foods. Sodium helps improve memory, brain function, and mood because it supports brain cell synthesis, brain energy, and concentration. Citicoline Sodium is produced endogenously as an intermediate in the production of phosphatidylcholine from choline and is then hydrolyzed in the small intestine, making choline and cytidine available for further biosynthesis. is a compound that helps increase blood flow and neurotransmitter levels in the brain. It can help protect and enhance brain function in areas such as cognition, attention and memory by increasing the synthesis and release of phosphatidylcholine in brain cells.
