Product Description
Citicoline sodium salt is a nontoxic intermediate in the biological synthesis of phosphotidylcholine from choline. Studies indicate that Citicoline sodium salt can increase dopamine receptor densities. In addition, Citicoline sodium salt induces the increases Adrenocorticotropic hormone levels in a Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) independent manner. Other hormones of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis are also increased such as LH, FSH, GH and TSH. Studies conducted on brain cells show that Citicoline sodium salt can reverse the toxic effects caused by hypoxia, ischemia, and trauma. It is suggested that these neuroprotective properties of Citicoline sodium salt may involve reinforcement of intracellular glutathione antioxidative system, attenuation of phospholipase A, activation and prevention of phospholipid degradation, and prevention of glutamate neurotoxicity.

Citicoline Sodium is used to treat age-related memory loss, cerebrovascular diseases such as stroke, dementia, as well as head trauma. Research has shown that it increases a chemical called phosphatidylcholine which is important for brain function. Citicoline might also decrease brain tissue damage when the brain is injured. Citicoline Sodium is also said to help with weight management when used as a dietary supplement.
