MOA: Citicoline seems to increase a brain chemical called phosphatidylcholine. his brain chemical is important !or brain !"nction. Citicoline mi#ht also decrease brain tiss"e dama#e $hen the brain is in%"red. Possibly Effective for:

A#e-related memory problems. Citicoline seems to help memory loss in people a#ed 5& to '5 years. (tro)e reco*ery.
