QUALIA MIND FORMULATION - Key Ingredients

COGNIZIN® CITICOLINE - Citicoline

Citicoline | CDP-choline | Cytidine 5'-diphosphocholine 

TOP BENEFITS OF COGNIZIN® CITICOLINE

Supports mental energy *

Supports focus and attention *

Supports brain health and cognitive performance *

WHAT IS COGNIZIN® CITICOLINE?

Cognizin® is a branded citicoline (CDP-choline) that provides nutritional support for brain energy, attention, focus, and recall. Citicoline is a choline and cytidine-containing intermediate in the generation of phosphatidylcholine from choline. It can be used to augment the body and brain choline pool. Citicoline and Alpha-glycerophosphocholine (alpha-GPC) are considered the nootropic forms of choline, with both being able to increase brain choline levels, act as building blocks for acetylcholine, and support choline-dependent functions. Following ingestion, citicoline yields choline and cytidine, the latter being converted into uridine in humans. These compounds can be used to produce the phosphatidylcholine needed for the structure and function of healthy cell membranes. Phosphatidylcholine can also be used for acetylcholine synthesis . Acetylcholine is central to brain neurotransmission; it plays a supportive role in attention, concentration, mental focus, and memory. Acetylcholine is also used in both the fight or flight and rest and relax parts of the autonomic nervous system, and it is a signaling molecule for activating muscles. Cognizin® is a branded citicoline (CDP-choline) that provides nutritional support for brain energy, attention, focus, and recall.*

COGNIZIN® CITICOLINE FORMULATING PRINCIPLES AND RATIONALE

Cognizin® Citicoline is typically consumed in amounts between 250 and 500 mg/day when used alone as a nootropic in healthy adults. Neurohacker believes the evidence suggests a threshold response (see Neurohacker Dosing Principles) for citicoline when given to healthy people, which means the majority of functional benefits occur at the lower end of the range, with a doubling of the serving from 250 to 500 mg producing only modest additional functional gains. The amount included in a formulation may be below the amount used in studies when it has been given alone, because Neurohacker Collective’s experience with citicoline is that, when used with other ingredients that influence choline levels and metabolism, a more modest serving can be sufficient.*  

ALPHA-GLYCEROPHOSPHOCHOLINE (ALPHA-GPC)

Supports cognitive function*

Supports exercise performance* 

WHAT IS ALPHA-GPC?

Alpha-glycerophosphocholine (alpha-GPC) is a choline-containing phospholipid that can be used to augment the body and brain choline pool. In this role it serves as a precursor for both acetylcholine and phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis. Alpha-GPC and citicoline (i.e., CDP-choline) are considered the nootropic forms of choline, with both forms able to increase brain choline levels, act as building blocks for acetylcholine, and support choline-dependent neurotransmission . However, of the two, alpha-GPC contains a higher proportion of choline, so a lower dose of alpha-GPC gives greater choline support than a similar dose of citicoline. This means that by weight alpha-GPC is the more efficient choline precursor. Following an oral dose, alpha-GPC metabolizes into choline and the phospholipid glycerophosphate. The choline can be used for acetylcholine synthesis and neurotransmission. Acetylcholine is central to brain neurotransmission; it’s also used in both the fight or flight and rest and relax parts of the autonomic nervous system; and it is a signaling molecule for activating muscles. Because alpha-GPC is a precursor in the biosynthesis of acetylcholine, it plays a supportive role in a variety of cognitive functions, including attention, concentration, mental focus, and memory formation and recall. Alpha-GPC also supports aspects of muscle performance, and is involved in maintaining organs and tissues. And, because alpha-GPC can be readily metabolized into phosphatidylcholine, it can be used to support the structure and function of cell membranes. Alpha-GPC is found in low amounts in a variety of foods and in breast milk .*
