NSI Neurocholine™ w/Cognizin™ Citicoline -- 800 mg - 60 Capsules

NSI Neurocholine™ w/Cognizin™ Citicoline -- 800 mg - 60 Capsules

NSI® Neurocholine™ with Cognizin™ Citicoline. Powerful brain-boosting formula supports memory and cognitive function for healthy mental performance. Helps protect and preserve neural tissue for optimal brain health. How Does NSI® Neurocholine™ with Cognizin™ Citicoline work? The human brain is composed of a complex network of neurons, which are specialized cells that communicate with one another through sophisticated chemical and electric signals. Neurons are unable to reproduce themselves, so when they are destroyed, they are lost forever. Besides the normal loss of neurons with age, a number of lifestyle factors, including environmental pollution, internal toxicity, stress and poor nutrition, can adversely affect neuronal health, leading to poor cognitive function and subsequent cognitive decline. NSI® NeuroCholine™ with Cognizin™ Citicoline is a specially formulated brain-health supplement to help protect neurons and nourish the brain with essential nutrients required for optimal function. Delivering 300 mg of choline, a nutrient that supports neurotransmitter synthesis and cell membrane integrity, and 500 mg of Cognizin™ Citicoline, a patented, proprietary form of citicoline that promotes healthy brain metabolism and protects neuronal health, NSI® Neurocholine™ is a powerful daily supplement to support brain health and preserve cognitive abilities. Featured ingredients include:. Choline, 300 mg. Choline, a precursor of the key neurotransmitter acetylcholine (crucial for memory and cognitive function) supports normal communication between nerve cells. It also plays a part in the formation of phosphatidylcholine, the most abundant phospholipid of cell membranes. Phospholipids are fatty acid compounds that help repair and maintain the structure of neuronal cell membranes as well as modulate fluidity and function. Phosphatidylcholine levels in brain cell membranes are known to decline with age, potentially leading to poor cognitive health. Choline supplementation is believed to help protect healthy memory and cognitive function. Cognizin™ Citicoline, 500 mg. Cognizin™ Citicoline is a patented, proprietary form of the B vitamin citicoline. Citicoline is broken down in the body into choline and cytidine. These compounds are used by neurons to build and repair phospholipids, the main structural components of cell membranes. Besides enhancing the brain’s ability to synthesize phospholipids, citicoline is also used to produce neurotransmitters, especially acetylcholine, a key player in memory and cognition. Another way citicoline supports brain health is by increasing the activity of the mitochondria in neurons to produce energy (especially adenosine triphosphate, or ATP) Increased energy production supports neuronal activity at the cellular level, helping with cell membrane repair and maintenance, chemical synthesis and electrical nerve impulse transmission. Healthier individual cell function supports the larger processes of the brain, including memory, learning and other cognitive functions. Cognizin™ Citicoline is a premier branded ingredient manufactured by Kyowa Hakko, U.S.A., Inc.  Cognizin™ Citicoline has been clinically tested for effectiveness with results showing that it:. -- Helps maintain optimal memory and cognitive function with aging. . -- May act as an antioxidant to preserve normal, healthy visual function. . -- May protect neural tissue from the ravages of free radical damage. NSI® Neurocholine™ with Cognizin™ Citicoline is better because it:. • Combines two powerful nutrients to support brain health and help maintain cognitive function in one easy-to-take daily supplement. • Is all-natural and contains ingredients that have been clinically tested for safety and efficacy. Did You Know? All NSI supplements are packaged in HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) bottles. These bottles keep moisture vapor out, protecting the freshness and integrity of their contents, and are 400% more effective compared other brands currently using PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles. HDPE bottles do not break as glass can and are also recyclable so we urge you to please recycle them.
