Cytidine 5-diphosphocholine (CDP-choline) is an exceptionally bio-available form of choline, now available to buy in vegetarian capsules at Supersmart. It readily crosses the blood-brain barrier into the central nervous system, where it is directly incorporated into the phospholipidic fraction of membranes and microsomes.

What are the Benefits Associated with CDP-choline?

It increases levels of the main neurotransmitters (4-(2-aminoethyl)benzene-1,2-diol and acetylcholine) and directly improves cerebral metabolism through several mechanisms:

• CDP-choline supports cognitive function and facilitates communication between neurons.
• It supports cerebral metabolism and mitochondrial activity in neurons.
• It activates biosynthesis and maintains the quality of phospholipids which make up a third of all brain tissue.
• It helps maintain memory and cognitive function by supporting healthy levels of acetylcholine as well as activity of the nerves which respond to acetylcholine.

What do Studies Show About CDP Choline?

A number of human studies evaluating the ability of CDP-choline to halt age-related decline in memory have shown significant results at dosages of between 1,000 and 2,000 mg a day:

• It is used to help re-absorption of edema caused by cranial trauma and stroke.
• CDP-choline has been studied, with varying results, for its ability to accelerate recovery in patients suffering from post-traumatic coma and in those with ischemic and thrombotic problems.
• Its neuro-protective power makes it an excellent supplement both for treating chronic cognitive decline associated with aging and as an adjunct treatment for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. In animal studies, CDP-choline inhibited neuronal degeneration induced by the damaging beta-amyloid protein which is found abundantly in the brains of Alzheimer's patients.
