CDP-Choline

Cytidine Diphosphate Choline is the active Lipotrope form of Choline normally produced within the body but also manufactured as a supplement and Pharmaceutical drug.

CDP-Choline improves Learning ability.

CDP-Choline retards the further progression of Alzheimer’s Disease.

CDP-Choline increases Blood Circulation and Oxygen utilization within the Brain:

CDP-Choline is used as a Brain circulation stimulator to treat disturbances of consciousness that may follow brain injury (e.g. Concussion) or Brain surgery.

CDP-Choline is a valuable co-therapy for Parkinson’s Disease.


CDP-Choline: The New Form of Choline

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 500mg to 1,000mg a day.

The multiple mechanisms of action of CDP-choline indicate that it may be suitable in the treatment of various forms of cerebrovascular disease, head trauma, and some types of brain aging. CDP-choline exhibits a neuroprotective effect where there are blood flow deficits to the brain caused by trauma and stroke.

In studies carried out in patients with head trauma, CDP-choline accelerated recovery form post-traumatic coma and restoration of walking ability. The CDP-treated group demonstrated better functional results and reduced hospital stays. In patients with less-severe head trauma, CDP-choline improved cognitive and memory deficits.
