Citicoline

MODERATE EVIDENCESupplementLast updated

AVELOR SUMMARY

Citicoline provides both choline AND cytidine (which converts to uridine). Unlike regular choline supplements, citicoline supports phosphatidylcholine synthesis in neuronal membranes DIRECTLY. A 2005 Cochrane review found it improved cognitive function in cerebrovascular disease. Cognizin® is the branded form used in most studies. Dose: 250-500mg 2x/day. Superior to choline bitartrate or choline chloride for brain-specific effects. --- *Reviewed by the Dose AI Research Team and Clinical Advisory Board* *Last updated: 2026-04-06*
