CDP-choline brain supplement information
CDP-choline is used in Europe by the brand name Citicoline. Stabilized CDP-Choline (cytidine 5'diphosphocholine) is a naturally occurring, water soluble biological compound that is an essential intermediate for the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, a major constituent of the grey matter of brain tissue (30%).  It is metabolized to yield the free nucleotide cytidine and choline.  Scientific research demonstrates that CDP Choline consumption promotes brain metabolism by enhancing the synthesis of acetylcholine, restoring phospholipid content in the brain and regulation of neuronal membrane excitability and osmolarity (by its effect on the ATP-dependent sodium and potassium pumps).

CDP-choline side effects
High dosages of CDP-choline may cause nausea and mild insomnia, especially if the CDP-choline supplement is taken in the evening. To avoid insomnia, take your CDP-choline supplement no later than mid afternoon. Another potential CDP-choline side effect is elevated body temperature which could occur on dosages greater than 500 mg.

Questions
Q. How does one know which is more appropriate to take as a supplement, choline or CDP-choline?
   A. The most reliable way to tell which supplement works better for you is to take choline by itself for a few days, stop for 2 days and then try a CDP-choline supplement for a few days. This way you can tell for yourself which supplement works better for your needs.

Q. Is it okay to take CDP-choline the same day as Mind Power Rx?
   A. We prefer they be taken on alternate days. You can take a capsule of Mind Power Rx one day, and the next day take a capsule of CDP-choline.

Q. Is it okay to take a capsule of CDP-choline along with a choline supplement?
   A. We suggest you space them apart by a few hours.

Q. Is it safe to take a CDP-choline pill daily for many months?
   A. Long term human research is not available regarding the benefits or safety of a CDP-Choline supplement when taken regularly for many months or years. To be on the safe side, take 2 days off a week and a full week off each month.

Q.I have a question regarding this product. On the bottle there a recommendation to take 1-2 capsules with food. On the Q and A regarding CDP-choline, the recommendation is on an empty stomach (there's no mention about how much time before food?). 
It's very important for me to know what's best?
    A.The best way to find out what works best for you is to try one capsule with food and the next day try one capsule half an hour before eating to see which works for you better. Some people prefer this mind enhancer with a meal, others prefer to take it on an empty stomach.

Buy CDP-Choline supplement on sale today. If you buy a cdp choline supplement along with Mind Power Rx, we suggest not taking them the same day. You can alternate their use. This is also true if you buy a third mind enhancer such as acetyl l-carnitine. Each day you can alternate their use and have one day a week when you take a break and not use any of these brain enhancers.
