Cognizin Citicoline, 250 mg, 60 Veggie Caps

CDP choline passes directly from the bloodstream into the cell membranes of the central nervous system. It helps the brain synthesize a class of neurotransmitters known as phosphodiesters, which are found in the cell membranes of brain tissue. As people age, the level of phosphodiesters in the brain falls, which can affect memory and other essential brain functions. Important phosphodiesters include phosphatidylcholine and glycerophosphoethanolamine.

I've been struggling with memory and cognitive issues for a few years now. I've tried a number of different products, with very little success. But when I added Healthy Origins' Cognizin Citicoline, within a few weeks there was a noticeable improvement. The suggested dosage of one to two capsules daily with a meal (I took one pill mornings and another evenings) is enough to make an impact. According to a brochure describing Cognizin, it helps to increase brain energy, plus provides necessary components to help facilitate brain cell communication. It also supports formation of chemicals that regulate cognitive function. The primary citicoline ingredient is a natural chemical found in all cells in the body, and it provides essential nutrients for these cells, especially those found in the brain. After six weeks use of Cognizin, brain scanning technology showed increased brain activity, particularly when performing tasks requiring memory or sustained attention. Focus, concentration and decision-making can all be enhanced by taking Healthy Origins' Cognizin Citicoline. I've experienced the difference, and am grateful to have finally found something that has helped.

My husband has been on this product since the first part of this year and citicoline has been a tremendous support in his recovery from a stroke. He took it for six weeks at 1000mg in the morning and 1000mg in the afternoon. Since then he has been on a 500mg maintenance dose. I've recommended it to many stroke survivors and to a friend who has early stage Alzheimers. After just 5 days her memory seemed to "turn on"! Incredible supplelment for those who need it. Patty

I used to take Jarrows DMAE daily for my brain fog but they discontinued the product. I tried Cognizin and can honestly say that it is more effective than regular DMAE(yet a little pricier). I will probably take reg DMAE daily but for busy, stressful days most definitely Cognizin Citicholine. A super clear head is assured.

I'm in pretty good shape for my age, but was starting to experience more and more of those dreaded "senior moments. It was clear that something had to be done. Using these, along with vinpocetine (twice daily), I've had a major improvement in memory and mood. I seem to have speedier recall, more energy, and I'm much more verbally fluent than I was just a few weeks ago. I have more energy for projects and am not so easily distracted. I would heartily recommend these to anyone seeking a little more brain-power and focus.

If you are suffering from a mental health condition, this is one supplement that is almost certainly going to provide some relief if you take it consistently over an extended period of time. This is especially true if you are taking medication and have concerns about the side-effects. I started taking this a few weeks ago, and have noticed fewer headaches, improved sleep, and better mood and clarity of thought. I take about 1000mg a day, half in the morning and half at night. This is the best-priced citicoline in capsule form that I have found, which is vital because it is difficult to measure the dose of a powder, especially if you already take other medicaitons and can't be bothered to mess around.

I took these two together so can't speak to them individually, Jarrow Formulas Neuro Optimizer and Healthy Origins Cognizin Citicoline. I noticed that I had trouble remembering actors names such as Brad Pitt or Drew Barrimore while I could easily recall the face in my mind's eye the name remained on the tip of my tongue. I attributed it to dimentia associated with aging but after just a day or two of these supplements the problem disappeared. I think that the real problem is lack of proper nutrition in the foods available today perhaps due to overuse of commercial fertilizers etc, read The China Study and books by John Robbins. I am 58.

Cognizin promotes sharp mental processing for anyone. However, Citicoline also supports norepinephrine and dopamine, suggesting more issue-specific help for ADHD.

one dose and my son had major gains in gross, fine motor and energy level. will be using this again but the current dose is too high for him. will do better with 20 mg or less as there is increased wakefulness and insomnia. no language gains, so I might have to look elsewhere for that

Citicoline can be a lifesaver when used within the first hour of stroke, combined with gotu kola or piracetam, also if dementia, bad memory , concentration problems, confused thinking. Improves thought and thinking. Don't take late in the day or evening, otherwise one may get bad sleep. May help in Alzheimer disease combined with other supplements, like DMAE, Gotu Kola, Centrophenoxine, Hypericin, Piracetam and the like.
