Citicoline Cognizin 250mg 60 pcs
Benefits & overview
Vital Nutrients uses Cognizin®, a patented and research-based form of Citicoline, a naturally occurring nutrient found in every living cell. Citicoline is an important building block for some of the brain's neurotransmitters (the substances that convey information between the cells of the brain).
Citicoline consists of choline and cytidine together, and is also called CDP-choline. Citicoline is naturally present in the body's tissue, not least in the organs. Choline is related to the B vitamins, which are important for the cells' metabolism, and for the brain to function choline must also have cytidine. Citicoline contains both choline and cytidine, which means the choline can easily be converted in the brain into the important substances acetylcholine and phosphatidylcholine.
Choline acts as a building block for cells and for neurotransmitters that send signals between muscles and nerves. Choline also contributes to normal liver function, normal fat metabolism and normal homocysteine metabolism, which is connected to, among other things, the brain's methylation process. The methylation process is responsible for detoxifying and repairing the body, as well as switching genes on and off. The process is biochemical and is affected by your genetics, lifestyle factors, environmental toxins and imbalances between nutrients. Methylation is required for many important functions in the body, including cell division, the formation of immune cells and metabolism. When the methylation process does not work as it should, we are more easily affected by various health problems.
