With a diet containing adequate meat, fish, poultry, dairy, and eggs, our youthful bodies will naturally produce sufficient levels of citicoline. But as we age, choline production within the liver can quickly fall short of levels needed. Consuming sufficient levels of choline through diet alone can be a challenge, especially for vegetarians and vegans.

As our life expectancy increases, it becomes crucial to take better care of our brains. Choline has been shown to help raise the level of acetylcholine—the chief neurotransmitter in our brain for cognitive function. Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials have shown regular consumption of citicoline to be potentially beneficial for combatting age-related memory loss.
