Citicoline, abbreviated as CC, is a naturally occurring choline phosphate, a nucleoside derivative, involved in the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine in the body, and an activator of brain metabolism. In recent years, more and more studies have shown that it has neuroprotective and neurorepair effects and has therapeutic potential for a variety of neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease.

What does citicoline do for you?

1. Neuroprotective effect of Citicoline on the in vitro cell model of Parkinson's disease induced by 6-OHDA.
Citicoline is a brain metabolic activator that can promote brain cell respiration, increase cerebral blood flow, improve cerebral blood circulation, promote brain substance metabolism, and improve brain function. It can be used as an adjuvant treatment for Parkinson's syndrome and Alzheimer's disease.
2. Citicoline is a clinically used neuroactivator that can promote the biosynthesis of lecithin and restore nerve tissue function. It enhances the function of the ascending reticular formation activation system and reduces cerebrovascular resistance. It can be used to restore consciousness disorders caused by acute craniocerebral trauma and brain surgery.

What is citicoline used for?

1. It has been included in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia as a cell metabolism improving drug.
2. Citicoline is an important precursor for lecithin synthesis.
3. Applied in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. It is widely used in clinical practice for a variety of brain diseases.
