What Is Citicoline (CDP-Choline)?

[@summercherie1748]

EXCELLENT PRESENTATION... WOULD LIKE TO HEAR AND LEARN MORE IN-DEPTH!!

[@thejdocrealminute4648]

Thank you for your support.

[@nadeen1111]

You are awesome! Helped me better understand the research i did but was fuzzy on some things. Sometimes hearing someone else explain it better helps solidify everything

[@thejdocrealminute4648]

Glad it helped!

[@detoxdanny]

That was fantastic 👍 thank you. Would love for you to dive into Uridine. It is very impressive all the things that it does. In the nootropic world, it is know for its HD vision capabilities.

[@thejdocrealminute4648]

That is a great idea. 'Nootropic world' ---> we speak the same language my friend.

CDP-Choline vs Magnesium L-threonate.. Which would you say has a greater impact on memory function. Also would you recommend taking these supplements together in one stack? Or maybe alternating days, since they both have some of the same effects on cognition? Thanks in advance.. you have a new subscriber, love the content.

[@thejdocrealminute4648]

Both are excellent. You can take them on alternate days.

[@Adara007]

Excellent video. I take CDP Choline daily to aid my cognitive faculties. One concerning issue is that the majority of medications are anticholinergic and so many people who are taking prescription medications ranging from antidepressants to antihistamines to analgesic medication are having their brain's choline depleted with time and lack of choline is directly correlated with dementia. As such it would be a good idea for medical practitioners to recommend supplementation with Citicoline for such patients but the majority of primary care practitioners don't do this. Do you think this is because they're not taught about the importance of Citicoline in medical school?

[@lapatria100]

My understanding is that anticholinergics don't necessarily deplete choline, instead they don't allow choline to be used properly through a mechanism known as receptor competition. Muscarinic and nicotinic receptors become blocked by anticholinergic compounds and therefore don't allow the optimal functioning of the acetylcholinergic system.

[@Adara007]

@@lapatria100 You are correct. I was simplifying the effects for those who are not medically trained.

What about Atherosclerosis risk development associated with choline suplementation? Citicoline has the same risk?

[@walterfraccaro6788]

already taking citicoline and love it. I started taking "Noopept" with it. Any thoughts?

[@thejdocrealminute4648]

Perfect combination

[@TheSilverlover999]

is it possible to combine this with sulbutiamine and magnesium threonate? also does this produce a compound called, trimethylene N-oxide (TMAO).?

[@thejdocrealminute4648]

TMA can then get converted in the liver into TMAO, a compound that may increase cardiovascular issues. Citicoline, on the other hand, may be a source of choline less prone to increasing TMAO.

My aunt fell from the stairs and had a traumatic brain injury after 2 weeks in the hospital we delivered her to her house where she is spending her recovery. At first, she can still remember things but every day her memory is getting worse right now she can't remember anything. Is it okay for her to take citicoline as a supplement although she's taking prescribed medication for her recovery? Will it still bring back her memory? Thank you very much for responding to my question. More power to you Doc./sir.

[@user-xk3lj3sc5p]

Could this be beneficial for myelin repair? And if not, what other supplements may be?(MS).

[@thejdocrealminute4648]

Many are out there. I would recommend doing your Google searches: Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2, Omega Fish Oil....etc...

One thing to mention about CDP Choline or any Choline supplements is that too much Choline will result in a major headache.

[@thejdocrealminute4648]

Correct.

What I don't understand is, if CDP choline is just broken down into choline and cytidine in the intestine, why bother taking a citicholine supplement when you can just take choline?

[@Melodia_P]

does it have withdrawal effect? for example, what would happen if i take it only during exam preparation.

[@thejdocrealminute4648]

No withdrawal effect..

Is it true that in long run it can cause heart attacks

ANYTHING taken in excess ----> will cause a heart attack. Plus: there are many other cofactors involved that people do not look at..

Hello doc, for how long you will be taking citicoline to improve cognitive functioning? Is it okay to stop it abruptly after one month of intake? or do we need to taper it down?

Your presentation is all over the place. You start out "pushing" CDP Choline then switch over to Cytidine; then switch back to CDP Choline. What's with that?

[@joefarrow1599]

CDP choline is broken down into choline and cytidine in the intestine. I understood that he was saying that the cytidine which comes from the CDP choline is good

[@jameswarrington9402]

Then why did the doc say he won’t recommend a brand. Surely he would have warned us if every other brand was fake? Then here in the UK and Europe we have trade descriptions laws that are taken seriously.
