User Reviews for citicoline

This supplement did what it advertised. I felt more focused and had a clear head for once. However. The down side is that this after two days of taking this supplement I had a grand Mal seizure. I have epilepsy and my seizures are brought on by various things but this supplement was the only variable. I take klonapin for my seizures and maybe there was a contraindication.. I am posting here in case other people with epilepsy consider taking this. It is a good product but not for people with epilepsy. Read More Read Less

Advertised as effective for reducing mucous in the throat-phlegm. It was expensive and IT DID NOT WORK at all for me. I would like to see the scientific data backing up this claim.

I am 56 years old, take a 1000mg a day. But I will sometimes skip weekends or holidays. I started with I noticed improvement in my memory recall after 2 weeks. I buy it from Amazon. I can’t find it in a drug store.

It really helped my memory recall, I’m 64 and had been having trouble recalling words occasionally and this has been a miracle for that use. However, I noticed that if I skipped taking it after I’d used it for a week or so, my feet started hurting and felt achy all over-which I never have had before, so a tad concerned. I also had some chest pain after I started taking again after a few days. I use the brand Healthy Origins, which seems like a safe company, so yes if you’re older talk to your Dr first b fore taking, which I didn’t. And of course I have no desire for physical during covid, so not good.Read More Read Less

Although there are claims that there is no evidence that this stuff works on people diagnosed with Dementia I can say it does work rather well with my mother. It is very noticeable when she hasn't taken it. Problem is the type I found at CVS is a rather large capsule.

Whether my imagination or not, I believe it helps with my age-related cognitive functioning.

very bad side effects affecting my emotional well being and what I felt in my brain. I could not take it. Bad side effects.

I took this for a couple of months before discovering that the latest scientific research has determined that the phosphatidylcholine that citicoline (and egg yolk, etc.) becomes in the body, especially when combined with carnitine, a common amino acid in meat, has been found to be a major factor in the development of atherosclerosis: "23% higher risk of cardiovascular events and a 55% higher risk of mortality" according to one study. Do a web search and see for yourself. I stopped taking it immediately - I didn't notice any particular effect other than overstimulation and difficulty sleeping if taken near bedtime.Read More Read Less

Instant (withon days) improvement of simple day to day memory loss....

Onset of significant increase in hypertension

This was my miracle supplement. I got my memory back, my anxiety calmed down *so* much, my digestion improved, my thinking cleared. I have massive cognitive problems and this supplement is so powerful, it legitimately saved my life, my career, my relationships, everything. My mind/personality still aren't completely back to what they were before I had a kind of brain trauma, but CDP-Choline plus Acetyl-L-Carnitine have been such a huge help in getting my life back

Made me relaxed and reduced pain as well as nausea...

Started taking 500 mg, once a day, and since the third day my memory and focus is back to what it was 20 years ago.

I experienced an improvement almost immediately in my ability to research and record NZ history. Afraid to test this improvement by ceasing the intake, as I don't want to find myself back in a mental fog

My mum's doctor prescribed this med for her. Indeed, it's very effective to her.

I was having trouble focusing on my intellectually demanding work. I wasn't sure if it was due to my low dose of lamictal for cyclothymia or that I was getting Alzheimer's, which runs in my family. On citicholine I feel sharp again. What a relief!

I had a stroke 7/27/12 and was told I would never be able to return to work or walk again. I have recovered my memory and walking well.

I have been taking 2400 mgs per day for 1.5 years. I find my thinking is clearer, I am better able to focus, and my memory has improved greatly. It was recommended for my 85 year old father by his neurosurgeon and I asked if it would help me. He said yes and told me to start out on 600 mgs and gradually increase.

Noticed a definite improvement in alertness, and memory within days of taking my first dose. Notice a difference if I miss even one day. I feel less "foggy" than I did before taking it.
