Citicoline

OstroVit Citicoline comes in capsule form, making 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 who experience memory impairment, cognitive decline or who want 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 cell membranes in the brain, thereby helping to protect and repair them. This mechanism may help improve neuronal function and reduce 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 this supplement, especially in the case of people undergoing treatment for neurological conditions.

In combination with a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise and stress management, citicoline can make a significant contribution to maintaining long-term brain health. For example, eating choline-rich foods (such as eggs and liver) may 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 headache, backache, nausea or gastrointestinal discomfort may occur. These effects are usually transient and disappear as the body gets used to the supplement.

If side effects persist or become severe, it is recommended to stop taking the product and consult a doctor.

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

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 taking any medication.

In case of overdose, it is recommended to contact a specialist 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 dosing 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.
