Citicoline
supplement Under reviewA naturally occurring compound that serves as a precursor for essential cellular nutrients, including choline, supporting brain metabolism and cognitive function.
Research summary
Scientific evidence from randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials in healthy humans, including middle-aged adults and older individuals with age-associated memory impairment, demonstrates that citicoline supplementation improves episodic memory, overall memory performance, and attentional function. These benefits are consistent across multiple studies using doses around 250-500 mg daily for 12 weeks, with no significant adverse effects reported. The research consensus supports citicoline as a safe and effective nootropic for maintaining cognitive health in aging populations, though larger trials would strengthen the evidence base. Positive effects on memory are primarily seen in secondary outcomes like composite memory scores and paired associate tests.
