CT1 Citicoline - Zetaerre Farmaceutici 100ml

CT1 Citicoline - Zetaerre Farmaceutici - Food Supplement

Food supplement based on Citolin in oral solution.

Ct1 Citicoline is well absorbed after oral, intramuscular or intravenous administration. Plasma levels of choline are significantly increased through these pathways. Oral absorption is practically complete and bioavailability nearly equal to that of IV administration

Years ago, little was known about citicoline. It was known only in neurological medical practice as a common essential nutrient that we get from certain foods and that is found in every cell of our body, particularly the brain and liver. Citicoline (cytidine 5'-diphosphocholine) is now sold in many countries in the form of various nomenclatures as a nootropic supplement with a particular neurological anti-aging imprint. Part of citicoline can be synthesized from choline which we find abundantly in:

egg,

beef,

seafood,

peanuts,

cauliflower,

broccoli.

It is an "essential" nutrient because the human body cannot synthesize it, and even by consuming foods rich in choline it is difficult to reach the useful contributions to activate the benefits of citicoline on the body. Choline is a precious "brick" that participates in the construction of phospholipids used for cell membranes and its role in the brain is particularly important, where it constitutes fundamental portions of neurons and other cells. A key role of choline lies in the synthesis of acetylcholine, our primary excitatory neurotransmitter. Acetylcholine:

operates communications between neurons,

stimulates the activity of the hippocampus,

acts on the cerebral cortex allowing higher executive functions, such as problem solving and reflection Acetylcholine is used for all brain functions ranging from information processing, to exposure capacity, to muscle contraction, to greater learning efficiency and on memory. Think that to pass information and memories from the short term to the long term you need acolinacetyl, as well as to support the formation of another neurotransmitter, dopamine, a substance that increases focus, initiative, productivity.

Low dopamine levels have a noticeable influence on mood, making us more depressed and less proactive. Citicoline, in this case, can be a natural way to increase dopamine and receptors in the brain, providing more desire and propensity to take initiative. Our entire peripheral nervous system could not perform many of its functions without the presence of this fundamental neurotransmitter which serves to:

transmit signals between our brain and the cardiovascular muscles;

bridge between brain, nerves, muscles and bones = promotes movement;

at the cardiovascular level, it acts as a vasodilator, rebalancing the heart rate;

at the gastrointestinal level, it promotes peristalsis;

in the urinary tract it is the basis of the voluntary urge to urinate.

Finally, it should be emphasized that acetylcholine participates in another very important process that guarantees our survival: the perception of pain.

Benefits of citicoline for the brain

The human brain needs a lot of energy to carry out its many functions. About 20% of the energy we consume every day is used by the brain, as well as a high level of oxygen we breathe. But this organ cannot store energy and therefore needs constant replenishment. Generally, energy comes in the form of glucose from the local bloodstream via the carotids.

These two functions (glucose metabolism and cerebral circulation) are supported by citicoline which, for these reasons, has an excellent consideration and application in the medical field, especially in Europe.

Another way in which citicoline assists the increase in brain energy is through the support action of the brain's mitochondria. Citicoline raises the energy produced by the mitochondria, particularly in the frontal cortex, which is responsible for language, thinking, decisions and planning.

Since its launch on the market several years ago, citicoline has always been considered a "nootropic substance", that is, its use turns out to be an excellent support for attention, learning and memory. Its neuroprotective effect has been highlighted by research which is continuing to investigate its potential fields of application. All this, without experiencing particular side effects.

Each brain cell has a semipermeable membrane, a "filter" that lets nutrients, water and oxygen circulate in the cells, leaving potentially harmful substances such as metabolic waste, heavy metals, toxins, pathogens, etc. outside. Citicoline plays a protective role on the integrity of the cell membrane in the brain.

Citicoline has notable effects on cellular aging of the brain. Two main causes are the damage caused by free radicals and inflammation. The same products of oxidative stress are in turn the drivers of inflammation which does nothing but accelerate the processes of cellular aging. Brain inflammation also contributes to a variety of ailments, such as:

Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases;

anxiety and depression;

"brain fog";

memory loss;

stroke.

The frenzy of contemporary life involves phases in which we have a more tired and less performing brain, with the result of a decline in the performance of cognitive activities in terms of attention, concentration or memory, not only among the elderly but also among the youngest. Citicoline has become more and more commonly used by professionals from various sectors, athletes and students who need particularly brilliant mental performance and focus, without causing any stimulation in the heart.
