CDP-choline (citicoline) is a non-peptide cytidine nucleotide-choline conjugate that serves as an intermediate in phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis. It is approved as a prescription drug for stroke and cognitive disorders in Japan and parts of Europe but sold only as a dietary supplement ingredient in the United States, where it is not FDA-approved as a drug. Human evidence is mixed and indication-dependent: small trials report modest memory improvements in healthy/older adults, but the largest phase 3 RCT (COBRIT, n=1,213 traumatic brain injury patients) found no benefit over placebo.

How are CDP-Choline (Citicoline) prices verified on Disclosed Labs?
Every listed vendor holds a Grade C or better trust score, computed independently from lab Certificates of Analysis — not from payments or sponsorships. Prices are scraped and fact-checked daily. Vendors cannot pay to improve their ranking.
Check formulation: Lyophilized powder requires reconstitution before use. Pre-mixed solutions are more convenient but may have a shorter shelf life and higher prices.
Compare per-mg cost: Different strengths and quantities make direct price comparison difficult. Calculate the per-milligram cost to find the true best value.
Verify COAs: Look for vendors that publish per-batch Certificates of Analysis from named, accredited labs. Use the Full safety panel filter to require endotoxin, sterility, and heavy-metals testing on the current batch — not just HPLC purity.
Human evidence is mixed and indication-dependent. Small-to-moderate placebo-controlled RCTs in healthy/older adults and age-associated memory impairment report modest verbal/episodic memory improvements at ~500–1,000 mg/day over weeks to months. However, the largest trial to date—COBRIT, a phase 3 double-blind placebo-controlled RCT in 1,213 traumatic brain injury patients—found no benefit over placebo on functional or cognitive outcomes (GOS-E favorable outcome 35.4% citicoline vs 35.6% placebo; global OR 0.98, 95% CI 0.83–1.15). Evidence for Alzheimer's disease and MCI is described in reviews as insufficient and inconsistent. In preclinical models, aged rats with hippocampal damage showed reduced long-term memory impairment with dietary CDP-choline supplementation, and mice subjected to ischemic stroke showed SIRT1-dependent reduction in cerebral infarct volume.
