Citicoline boosts cognition in healthy women at lower dose

Another contempo extraction looked at the furnishings of lower doses of citicoline if used as a circadian supplement for anamnesis and acknowledgment in advantageous postmenopausal women. This new analysis suggests low-dose citicoline (250-500 mg per day) may accept a role in mitigating the cerebral abatement associated with accustomed aging. Dr. Erin McGlade and colleagues at the Brain Institute at the University of Utah advised 60 advantageous women age 40 to 60 years, none of whom had any affectionate of cerebral deficits above the boilerplate cerebral abatement associated with aging.

The women were disconnected into 3 groups and about assigned to accept 250 or 500 mg citicoline or placebo for 28 days. At the end of the extraction aeon they were accustomed a connected analysis that measures attention. The analysis after-effects announce such problems as inattentiveness, impulsivity, activation/arousal problems, or adversity advancement vigilance. It aswell assesses controlling functions such as time perception, centralized ordering, alive anamnesis and motor control. Participants who accustomed either the low- or high-dose citicoline showed bigger absorption and fabricated decidedly beneath errors on the analysis compared with the placebo group. The authors assured that this is the aboriginal extraction to appearance that citicoline at low doses enhances cerebral functions in advantageous women.
