Description

• CDP-choline (cytidine-5′-diphosphate choline) is an endogenous compound normally produced by the body; when it is introduced as a drug, it can be called citicoline.

• Promotes “safe” neuroprotection; shown to possess beneficial physiological actions on cellular function.

• Provides modest but consistent improvement in memory and behavior in cognitively impaired patients.

• Demonstrated to increase SIRT1 protein expression and this is strongly involved in its neuroprotective actions.

• Citicoline inhibits apoptosis associated with cerebral ischemia and several models of neurodegeneration.

• Shown to work in vascular cognitive impairment, vascular dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease, especially when associated with significant cerebrovascular disease.
