Nervous system - Citicoline (CDP Choline), 300 mg x 60 capsules Nutricost

CDP Choline/ Citicoline

Food supplement, 60 capsules

CDP Choline / Citicoline, 60 capsules, is a nutritional supplement of the American company Nutricost. The product formula includes CDP choline (citicoline) in an optimal dose per capsule. It does not contain gluten or GMOs. The nutritional supplement contributes to the maintenance of normal cognitive health.

Citicoline is considered a dietary source of choline and cytidine. CDP Choline helps deliver choline and cytidine to the brain. These compounds are known to improve cognitive function and the overall health of the central nervous system, both of which are involved in the regulation of memory, mood, and muscle control, among many other functions. The main difference between citicoline and choline is that choline occurs naturally in the body, while citicoline often needs to be obtained in the form of dietary supplements.

Choline is a macronutrient that is important for liver function, normal brain development, nerve activity, muscle contraction, maintaining energy levels and maintaining a healthy metabolism. The nutrient is present in the form of phosphatidylcholine, a compound that makes up the structural component of fat and thus can be found in a variety of foods that naturally contain certain fats. It plays a role in maintaining some important processes in the body.

Choline is a water-soluble nutrient that is related to other vitamins, such as folate and the other B-complex vitamins. Just like the B vitamins, choline plays a similar role in maintaining energy balance and brain activity, as well as keeping the body's metabolism active.

How does choline work?

• Assists in the methylation process, which is used in DNA synthesis;
• Supports nerve signaling and the body's detoxification processes;
• It is important for the functioning of a key nervous system neurotransmitter called acetylcholine;
• It helps neurons communicate with each other and muscles to contract;
• Takes an active part in anti-aging processes.

Choline is synthesized by the liver in small amounts, but people must also obtain it through dietary sources. Animal protein is the best source of choline, especially liver. Plant sources of choline include beans, nuts, peas, spinach and wheat germ.

Symptoms of choline deficiency may include:

• Fatigue;
• Memory loss;
• Cognitive decline;
• Learning difficulties;
• Muscle aches;
• Damage to neurons;
• Frequent mood swings.

Health benefits:

• Synthesis of DNA molecules and formation of a number of cellular structures

Choline helps the body absorb fat, which is then used to create cell membranes and other structures. Without enough choline in the body, cells cannot properly maintain their structure and send messages to other parts of the body. Choline is necessary for the synthesis of DNA, where all genetic information is encoded.

• Supports the central nervous system

One of the main benefits of choline is that it is used by the body in a variety of ways that are critical to the functioning of neurons, including aiding nerve signaling and maintaining cell membranes in the nervous system. It is believed that choline can improve the signaling capacity of nerves, maintain their structural integrity and protect vital neuronal membranes. It acts as a precursor to some important neurotransmitters, including acetylcholine, which is used to maintain the normal functioning of the nervous system as well as muscle function.

• Supports liver function

Choline is needed for the proper transport of fat from the liver to cells throughout the body. This applies mostly to cholesterol and triglycerides.

• Supports memory and improves brain activity

Another benefit of choline is its ability to support brain activity. As a component of cell membranes and part of the neurotransmitter molecules that are used in nerve signaling, choline plays a role in preserving memory and preventing the development of dementia, memory loss and other signs of age-related cognitive decline.

• Supports muscle function

Choline helps improve mental activity, attention and concentration, which are important for physical activity and sports performance. It improves the function of the nerves innervating the skeletal muscles and can be useful in preventing the onset of fatigue and muscle soreness during and after exercise.

• Optimizes the functioning of the heart

Choline and folic acid help convert homocysteine, which prevents the body from accumulating too much fat and may be helpful in reducing the risk of heart attack or stroke. High levels of homocysteine ​​are associated with the development of cardiovascular disease.
