It's mild, but it did help with mental energy and focus FOR ME. It was a pretty clear but subtle benefit. I'm not a medical professional, but i was looking for something to help me a bit as i've gotten older, and generally look for things that appear reasonably safe you know like Coffee. I doubt this would do much for a person in peak health with a great diet and without any issues. I do think though if you are starting to notice things "slow down a bit", and your doing everything else right like exercising, sleeping enough and eating well this can help just a bit depending on what the issue is. I would absolutely prioritize exercise and sleep especially if your aging before that. I use to work out a lot when i was younger, that slowed down with family and my wife and picked that up again and honestly sleep and exercise are very related and make the biggest difference, but even on top of that this helps. I doubt it would be effective though w/o sleep or exercise. At least for me i'm entirely useless w/o sleep. I'm calling this out because my review is based on doing several things that already helped me before i took this. I also have a pretty clean diet. My experience with it is i take about 1-2 pill and it last 6-8 hours, and especially for a few hours after I think better, and have a bit more purpose. I take it a few time a week, not daily. I'm looking at it like fish oil almost. I've not noticed any sort of "addiction" or issues if i stop taking it for prolonged periods, and i don't think it's becomes all that less effective either over time. I put this in a bucket of probably if i ate more eggs or something it may do the same thing. I 'm not a huge meat eater. I eat some chicken, and that's likely a good part of my experience why this and by the way (creatine also mildly helps). I think saying this will help person X-Y depends on a lot of things. I'd say i noticed the effects with in 60 minutes which is pretty rare for me, so clearly it must have been a deficiency or related to some specific issues with me. It's not a stimulant it's very hard to describe i just seem to work mildly better. I'd ask my dr about it but i know they always say don't take anything just do it w/ diet etc etc. That's a bit too theoretical for me sometimes. I'd say maybe give it a shot, if it doesn't work with in a day or two i kind of doubt you 've got an issue. i'd have to imagine you'd need to eat quite a lot of this stuff (below) and the other issue is likely some people aren't so great at making this. It's kind of similar to DHA too in that way. The stuff i take is creatine, this, and fish oil in moderation. it's like 5% benefit exercise and sleep and diet is like 95% but frankly 5% is a lot, just don't forget about the rest (pun intended). ----here are dietary alternatives -- Citicoline (CDP Choline) is not found in large amounts in food sources, but it can be obtained through dietary supplementation. Some food sources that contain small amounts of choline, a nutrient that is the building block of Citicoline, include: Eggs: One egg yolk contains about 147 mg of choline Meat and poultry: Chicken and beef liver are particularly high in choline Seafood: Salmon, cod, and shrimp are good sources of choline Dairy products: Milk, yogurt, and cheese contain small amounts of choline Cruciferous vegetables: Broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts contain small amounts of choline

This is the only, I repeat the only thing I’ve found that REALLY WORKS.. if you loose a word, can’t recall a name, a place just the usual things. This is the best bandaid for recall. I typically end up with every bad side effect from any med or over the counter stuff, no side effects with this. I do think this works on a gut brain reaction. I’m not a chemist but there is a relationship. I think the best way for me to relate the effectiveness of this particular product is to give it a percentage and it improves my recall by 80-90 percent.. Every time I have stopped it within days my brain farts came back..I haven’t tried any other form of this and it works so well I’d pay triple to keep using it. I take one on odd days and two on even days unless I’m doing something that I know I need more acuity then I’ll take two. Good luck isn’t getting older fun???

I read a lot about citicoline before I ordered it, including all the flowery stuff about how it helps with memory, focus, and appetite. And even sleep. It wasn't so much that I was skeptical at first, but I figured, 'Hey, why not give it a shot? What do I have to lose?' There aren't any side effects and its not that expensive. So I bought it and started taking it... And it turns out that all the flowery stuff was true. Placebos don't work on me. I'm honest with myself. If something doesn't work, I admit it and move on. But this stuff does. My memory is improving, I am able to focus better, my moods are generally better, and I sleep very well. My appetite has decreased, which, let me tell you, is pretty amazing. I inhale food (and I have to workout a lot to avoid getting fat). But with this stuff, my appetite is more even. I'm not constantly craving food. I can skip a snack or a meal and not go insane. Having control over your appetite is a pretty great thing. I can totally recommend it just for that alone. There are some other things it helps with, as some studies have shown (and you can just Google it to confirm). It apparently helps reduce beta-amyloid deposits. Those are the things that cause Alzheimer's and can cause TIA and/or full-blown strokes. It also seems to act as a precursor to the stuff that repairs damage from those things, as well. I can't confirm it, of course, but Google can show that it has a lot of promising results. And for a zero side-effect, cheap supplement, that's pretty great.

Product poorly produced (see photo for comparison of first time I bought this to the current order). With that lack of quality I do not want to take the chance of ingesting these!

After about 1 month of two capsules a day I Really notice an improvement with my memory and overall cognition. I wish it was less than what it costs-

Labelled with green dot but capsule is made of bovine (meaning cow) gelatin. Very misleading and risky especially in India.

there are definitely some improvements in my overall mood.

Muy buen producto

A must have 👍👍 works like magic a few days into starting a pill a day .
