Citicoline is a complex organic molecule, a form of B-vitamin choline that acts as an intermediate in many biosynthetic pathways, for example, in the biosynthesis of cell membrane phospholipids. As a dietary supplement, citicoline is a source of choline and cytidine, two components that are quickly absorbed in the intestine and across the blood-brain barrier. The neuroprotective properties of citicoline improves mental performance increasing the levels of other brain-related chemicals like dopamine and norepinephrine, helping with recovery in stroke patients, reducing memory loss due to aging and improving vision in patients with glaucoma.
