Citicoline

OstroVit Citicoline comes in the form of capsules, which makes it extremely convenient to take.

Each container contains 60 capsules, enough for one month of continuous use (30 servings), providing 500 mg of citicoline and 100 mg of inulin per serving (2 capsules).

Citicoline is used to support brain health, playing an important role in improving memory, learning and cognitive function.

The supplement may be beneficial for people experiencing memory impairment, cognitive decline or who wish to prevent these problems as they age. In addition, citicoline is often used as an adjunct in treatments for Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, stroke and other neurological conditions.

Citicoline also plays an essential role in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, a crucial component of brain cell membranes, thus helping to protect and repair them. This mechanism may contribute to improved neuronal function and reduced oxidative damage.

The recommended dose for OstroVit Citicoline is 2 capsules per day, preferably after a main meal.

It is important that users do not exceed the recommended daily dose and use this dietary supplement as part of a balanced lifestyle.

The supplement is not recommended for people who are allergic to any of the product's ingredients. The product is also not intended for consumption by children, pregnant or breastfeeding women without the consent of a doctor.

If pre-existing medical conditions are present, it is important that users consult a doctor before starting to take this supplement, especially in the case of people undergoing treatment for neurological conditions.

When combined with a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet, regular exercise and stress management, citicoline can contribute significantly to long-term brain health. For example, eating foods rich in choline (such as eggs and liver) can support the effects of citicoline and help the brain function optimally.

In general, citicoline is well tolerated by most people. However, in some cases, minor side effects such as headaches, back pain, nausea or gastrointestinal discomfort may occur. These effects are usually temporary and disappear as the body adjusts to the supplement.

If side effects persist or become severe, it is recommended to discontinue use of the product and consult a doctor.

Citicoline may interact with some drugs, especially those that affect the central nervous system, such as antidepressants, antipsychotics, and blood pressure medications.

The use of citicoline may also influence the effectiveness of some treatments for neurological disorders, such as levodopa for Parkinson's disease.

Before starting to use this supplement, it is essential that users consult their doctor, especially if they are undergoing medical treatment.

In case of overdose, it is recommended to contact a medical professional immediately. Although citicoline has a good safety profile, taking higher doses than recommended may lead to increased side effects.

It is important to strictly follow the dosage regimen to avoid such risks.

Citicoline should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. It should also be kept out of the reach of small children. It is important that the product is used before the expiry date stated on the packaging to ensure its effectiveness and safety.
