High quality Citicoline Sodium Bulk Powder
Product Description
What is Citicoline?
Citicoline (CDP-choline or cytidine 5′-diphosphocholine) is an endogenous nootropic compound that occurs in the body naturally. It is a critical intermediate in synthesizing phospholipids in the cell membrane.
Citicoline is commonly referred to as a “brain nutrient.” It is taken orally and converts to choline and cytidine, the latter of which turns into uridine in the body.
Citicoline vs. Citicoline sodium
Chemically speaking, citicoline and citicoline are different ingredients, although they share similar structures and properties.

Function
- Citicoline Sodium (also known as CDP choline) is a compound extracted from choline, an important nutrient. It is an organic molecule that plays an important role in the synthesis of cell membranes.
- Citicoline Sodium is often used as a brain enhancer due to its ability to improve brain function and cognitive performance. It has been shown to enhance memory, attention, concentration, and learning abilities.
- One of Citicoline Sodium's primary mechanisms of action is its ability to increase acetylcholine levels in the brain. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter involved in a variety of cognitive processes, including memory formation and learning. By increasing acetylcholine levels, Citicoline Sodium may improve synaptic plasticity and enhance communication between neurons.
- In addition, Citicoline Sodium also has neuroprotective effects. It helps maintain the integrity of cell membranes and protects against oxidative stress, inflammation and other forms of brain damage. This makes it potentially beneficial in preventing and treating neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
