What is Citicoline?
Citicoline is a compound the body makes and uses in cell membranes. It is also sold as a supplement ingredient, sometimes under the name CDP-choline.
Why does it show up in memory and focus supplements?
It is common in brain-support products because it is a recognizable ingredient, but evidence that supplement use improves memory or focus in healthy adults is limited.
What does the research say?
General background is available from the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements overview of supplements. Research on this ingredient in finished supplements is limited, and nothing here suggests it improves memory on its own or treats memory loss, dementia or any other condition.
