What does it do?

Citicoline sodium is used as a precursor to phospholipids, which are essential components of brain cells, to enhance nervous system function. It is primarily included in medications aimed at treating cognitive decline or aiding in the recovery from nerve damage.

Citicoline sodium promotes the synthesis of phospholipids, which make up the brain cell membrane, stabilizing the cell membrane and assisting in the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, thereby improving brain function. It also protects nerve cells and contributes to the recovery from damage.
