Re: Citicoline vs. Choline

[Guest guest]

Be very careful with Choline because of the amount of B vitamins - know your

chemistry! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choline

Some info/article on Citicoline in our Files section.

Citicholine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citicoline

Citicoline activates the biosynthesis of structural phospholipids of neuronal

membranes, increases brain metabolism, and influences levels of different

neurotransmitters. Citicoline has been shown to increase acetylcholine,

norepinephrine and dopamine levels in the central nervous system.

Citicoline benefit

Citicoline has been proposed to protect nerve cells in conditions where there is

low oxygen availability. In animal studies,, citicoline has been found to

improves learning and memory. Citicoline may be used as a treatment for cerebral

vascular disease, after head trauma of varying severity, and cognitive disorders

of different causes. Citicoline helps recovery from post-traumatic coma and

neurological deficits and in those who have had an ischemic cerebral vascular

disease such as stroke. Additional uses of citicoline include age related

cognitive decline and degenerative neurological diseases such as Alzheimer

disease. More research is needed to determine whether citicoline has any benefit

in Parkinson's disease, drug addictions, and alcoholism, as well as in amblyopia

and glaucoma. http://www.raysahelian.com/citicoline.html

Make sure you do your own research and again I say buyer beware

Citicoline can act as a stimulant, so in those of us with CMT, it may help with

the fatigue issue. However, research on it's use for CMT is scant and I suggest

you discuss using it with your doctors.

In my experience citicoline has been amazing. I won't go without it.
