Read More . . . CDP-choline, also known as citidine choline, crosses the blood-brain-barrier and is by far the most effective choline to improve mental function and repair neurological dysfunction. Suggested use for this product is: Healthy people over age 40 should take one 250 mg capsule a day of CDP-choline. Those with neurological impairment should take two 250 mg capsules a day under the care of a physician. If after thirty days significant improvement does not occur, then take four 250 mg capsules should be taken every day. After symptoms improve to an acceptable degree, the maintenance dose can be reduced to one capsule a day. In treating cases of acute head trauma, European doctors are immediately prescribing 1000 mg a day. Europeans are using new form of choline to treat various forms of neurological impairment, including stroke, trauma, memory-learning deficits and dementia. This new choline analog is currently in clinical trials in the United States, where FDA approval will be sought for its use in the restoration of cerebral function lost to stroke. The effects have been so dramatic that some patients have actually shown a reduction in the size of the infarct caused by their stroke. We are introducing this new choline analog now so that those with severe neurological impairment can gain access to it immediately! Those with healthy neurologic function may consider lower doses of CDP-choline to protect against brain aging and boost cognitive function. Why Choline Is So Important Brain cells use choline to support the integrity of the cell membrane, protect against neurotoxins, synthesize neurotransmitters, and support brain cell metabolic function. Brain cells produce very small amounts of choline, thereby necessitating dietary sources. Popular dietary supplements that provide choline to the brain are lecithin, phosphatidylcholine, DMAE, centrophenoxine, and choline itself. Choline from food or supplements is absorbed into the bloodstream. From the bloodstream, the blood-brain barrier selectively allows choline into the central nervous system where it is incorporated as phosphatidylcholine into the membranes of brain cells. Phosphatidylcholine is the major structural and functional component of brain cell membranes. Without phosphatidylcholine, brain cells lose their youthful function and suffer the degenerative structural changes associated with aging. CDP-choline is an essential intermediate in the conversion of choline to phosphatidylcholine and may be a key missing link in the quest to protect brain cells against age-related pathological degeneration. CDP-CHOLINE caps contain 250 milligrams of pharmaceutical-grade cytidine 5-diphoshocholine. CDP-choline stands for cytidine 5-diphosphocholine. This unique form of choline readily passes through the blood-brain barrier directly into the central nervous system. Once past the blood-brain barrier, CDP-choline activates the synthesis of critical components in cell membranes, boosts levels of neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, and enhances cerebral energy metabolism. By boosting mitochondrial energy production, CDP-choline causes the re-absorption of cerebral edema caused by trauma or stroke. Toxicology studies have shown that CDP-choline is safe and produces no serious cholinergic side effects. It is well tolerated in doses ranging from 500 mg to 1000 mg a day.
