About Citicoline (CDP Choline)
How it works
Citicoline (stabilized CDP-choline) is a naturally occurring compound the brain uses to build phosphatidylcholine, a major structural component of brain grey matter.* Supplementation supports brain energy metabolism and the synthesis of acetylcholine, a key neurotransmitter for learning and attention.* Clinical research on citicoline has shown support for attention performance in healthy adults and adolescents.*
Who it's for
Students, professionals, and older adults supporting brain health, with or without other nootropic staples like omega-3s.*
Frequently Asked Questions
Citicoline supports brain energy metabolism, memory, and attention.* It is a naturally occurring intermediate in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, a major constituent of brain grey matter, and clinical research shows it supports attention performance in healthy adults and adolescents.*
Citicoline (CDP-choline) is a stabilized, more bioavailable choline source that crosses into the brain and directly supports phosphatidylcholine synthesis: a step closer to the brain-membrane building blocks than plain choline salts.*
Adults take 1 capsule 1-2 times a day with food or as directed by your qualified healthcare professional.
Yes, citicoline pairs commonly with phosphatidylserine, omega-3s, or B vitamins; Jarrow's Neuro Optimizer formula combines several of these in one product.* Consult your healthcare provider about your personal regimen.

Why Jarrow Formulas
Science first, since 1977. For nearly five decades, Jarrow Formulas has formulated supplements around published science: the clinically studied ingredient forms, at the doses research actually used.
- Clinically studied ingredients. We use the specific branded forms found in published human research: GR-1 and RC-14 probiotic strains, Cognizin citicoline, StimuCal MCHA calcium, Kaneka ubiquinol, and more.*
- Bioavailable active forms. Your body shouldn't have to convert what it can absorb directly. That's why we use methylated B12 and folate instead of synthetic forms, and ubiquinol instead of standard Co-Q10 along with enhanced-absorption delivery systems.*
- Purity you can verify. Non-GMO ingredients, gluten-free and vegan options across the line, and quality controls like citrinin-avoidance fermentation and freeze-dried protein processing.
- Formulated to matter. Clinically relevant doses, strain-level identification on probiotics, and supplement facts that say exactly what is inside.
