When was the last time you thought about your “cognitive function”? When scientists refer to cognitive function, they are talking about the acquisition of knowledge, manipulation of information, and reasoning. We commonly refer to these functions as perception, attention, learning, decision making, memory, as well as language and calculation abilities.
As our life expectancy increases, it becomes crucial to take better care of our brains. Choline has been shown to help raise the level of acetylcholine—the chief neurotransmitter in our brain for cognitive function. Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials have shown regular consumption of citicoline to be potentially beneficial for combatting age-related memory loss.
With a diet containing adequate meat, fish, poultry, dairy, and eggs, our youthful bodies will naturally produce sufficient levels of citicoline. But as we age, choline production within the liver can quickly fall short of levels needed. Consuming sufficient levels of choline through diet alone can be a challenge, especially for vegetarians and vegans.
Each capsule of NeuroPerform contains 250 mg of citicoline with 14 mg of choline. Both serve as precursors for the production of phosphatidylcholine, a compound the body produces which helps stimulate cognitive performance. Its high bioavailability is due to its ability to pass through the blood-brain barrier, where it can quickly exert its benefits.
