CDP-Choline
supplement
CDP-choline stands for cytidine 5-diphosphocholine, an intermediate in the
biosynthesis of membrane phospholipids and brain acetylcholine. CDP-choline is approved in
Europe and Japan for use in stroke, Parkinson’s disease and other neurological
disorders and is sold with the brand name
Citicoline. In a way, you could consider
CDP-choline as more potent form of choline. Studies show that CDP-choline helps make
phosphatidylcholine in human brain cell membranes in older individuals; may increase
acetylcholine synthesis; improves mental performance in patients with Alzheimer's disease;
and even improves memory in elderly patients with memory deficits. A Belgian study has
shown that CDP-choline administration to dogs improves their ability to learn and
remember.
CDP-Choline, 250 mg, 60 Capsules
Stabilized CDP-Choline (cytidine 5'diphosphocholine) is a
naturally occurring, water soluble biological compound that is an essential
intermediate for the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, a major constituent of
the grey matter of brain tissue (30%). CDP choline is metabolized to yield the
free nucleotide cytidine and choline. Scientific research demonstrates that CDP
Choline consumption promotes brain metabolism by enhancing the synthesis of
acetylcholine, restoring phospholipid content in the brain and regulation of
neuronal membrane excitability.

CDP-choline Research Update
The administration of oral CDP-choline may be of use in reversing age-related
changes in the brain. CDP-choline helps to increase levels of
CDP-choline may be helpful in reducing damage after a stroke.
CDP-choline may be helpful in Alzheimer's disease.
Safety of CDP-Choline
Toxicology studies show that CDP-choline is safe and produces no serious side
effects in doses ranging from 500 mg to 1,000 mg a day (Secades 1995). However,
most of the studies lasted less than a few weeks. Long-term safety is not known.
CDP-Choline Recommendations
CDP-choline has been used successfully in Europe for many years but
clinical experience in the US is limited. This nutrient appears to have a more
direct and immediate effect on the brain than its cousin choline. However, it is
difficult to predict at this time the long-term benefits or risks of regular
use. CDP-choline is a promising nutrient and I suspect that with time it will
become more popular. We are not aware of specific human studies
regarding the role of cdp-choline in
erectile
dysfunction as of September 2007.
CDP choline questions
Q. Can CDP-choline be taken together with
Phenylalanine?
A. Too much stimulation may occur if both are taken in full
dosages.
Q. CDP Choline work great for prioritization, and transitioning from one task to another. Seems to have long term benefits even when I quit taking it for two weeks. I take Now Foods CoEnzyme B Complex with it (they work great together).
