What is CDP Choline?
CDP Choline, or Citicoline, is a choline compound found in our brains that acts as a precursor to acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter involved in memory and other brain functions. It helps in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, a key component of brain cell membranes, contributing to improved communication between neurons.
