What is the recommended dosage for Citicoline?

General: 250-500 mg/day; Cognitive Support: 500-2,000 mg/day

What are the side effects of Citicoline?

Potential side effects include: Headache, Insomnia (if taken late in the day), Mild gastrointestinal discomfort, Rare: restlessness or overstimulation.

Citicoline (CDP-choline) is a naturally occurring compound that provides both choline and cytidine, which converts to uridine in the body. It supports phospholipid synthesis in brain cell membranes and has been studied extensively for memory, attention, and neuroprotective effects.

What dosage of Citicoline has been used in studies?

Clinical trials have used doses ranging from 250 mg to 2,000 mg per day. The most commonly studied dose for cognitive support in healthy adults is 250 mg to 500 mg daily. Higher doses have been used in clinical settings for neurological conditions. Consult your doctor for guidance.

What are the potential side effects of Citicoline?

Citicoline is generally well tolerated with a strong safety profile in clinical trials. Rare side effects may include headache, insomnia, diarrhea, and nausea. It may interact with levodopa and other dopaminergic medications. Consult your healthcare provider before use.

About

Citicoline (CDP-choline) is a naturally occurring compound that donates choline for acetylcholine synthesis and cytidine for uridine production. It supports phosphatidylcholine synthesis essential for neuronal membrane repair and enhances dopamine receptor density in the frontal cortex. Clinical studies show improvements in attention, memory, and cognitive recovery, particularly in elderly populations.

How It Works

Donates choline for acetylcholine synthesis and cytidine for uridine production; supports phosphatidylcholine synthesis essential for neuronal membrane repair and integrity; enhances dopamine receptor density in the frontal cortex.
