Cognizin® Citicoline a potent brain health nutrient
The brain is constantly being attacked by various factors of our
lifestyle including environmental pollution,internal toxicity, stress and a
lack of proper diet and nutrients. Cognizin may help combat the ravages of
these effects by stimulating the nervous system process to maintain optimum
sustainability of the molecular environment of the brain, enabling us to retain
our ability to think cognitively and improve our memories.
- Cognizin brand Citicoline from Kyowa Hakko U.S.A., Inc.
is recognized as a novel and powerful anti-aging ingredient.
- Clinical trials have shown Cognizin is effective for
combating the effects of certain neurodegenerative processes, thereby
allowing for maintenance of optimal memory function.
- Scientific studies have indicated that Cognizin is an
effective aid for maintaining normal cognitive function with aging.
- Additional studies point to the ability of Cognizin to
act as an antioxidant in preserving normal healthy visual function.
- Cognizin protects neural tissue from the ravages of
free radical damage.

citicoline, a potent brain nutrient clinically tested to support mental energy, focus, attention and recall. Tested in human clinical trials and developed using a patented fermentation process, Cognizin is a pure, allergen-free GRAS ingredient that's stable and effective. Citicoline
is a generic name for supplemental CDP-choline, a natural substance found in
all living cells. In human health, CDP-choline
plays important roles in the formation of cell membranes and in supporting
healthy brain function. Citicoline is
sometimes called the brain nutrient because of its roles in supporting
cognition and memory.
Sources of citicoline
There
is very little citicoline in foods. The
highest amounts are found in organ foods (liver and brains) that are not widely
consumed in the United States. Some
citicoline can be formed from the B vitamin choline, which is found in beef and
eggs. Citicoline is available as a
dietary supplement marketed under the brand name Cognizin®.
Citicoline roles in health
The primary biochemical roles of citicoline are maintaining brain cell membranes and supporting synthesis of neurotransmitters, the chemical messengers that enable brain and nerve cells to transmit information from one to another. Studies have also shown that citicoline helps boost brain energy. These roles may translate into functional benefits for brain health, particularly for maintaining healthy cognitive functioning in aging. As early as age 22 we begin to lose neurons at the rate of about one per second, or 31 million per year. Age-related changes also include a decrease in the number and efficiency of the connections between neurons, decreased energy production, and decreased production of neurotransmitters. As a result, cells can become sluggish in their communications with each other. This process is normal and is why people occasionally experience forgetfulness, slower reaction time and dulling of senses such as sight, taste and smell as they become older. Cognizin® citicoline has been shown in scientific studies to help support brain health and function.
