CDP Choline (Citicoline Sodium) 50g Bulk Powder

Description

CDP Choline (Citicoline Sodium) 50g

All Supplements come in properly packed and sealed foil pouches

CAS Number 33818-15-4

CDP Choline is a natural choline compound found in the brain. As an acetylcholine precursor, it can cross the brain across the blood-brain barrier. Choline is one of the basic nutrients necessary for optimal cognitive function because choline is a precursor to acetylcholine, a key neurotransmitter without which we couldnâ€™t move, think, remember, or sleep.

What is the difference between CDP Choline & CDP Choline Sodium? When dissolved the sodium is no longer attached so effectively they become the same. Salt versions of compounds can be more stable and dissolve easier in solution.

Suggested Serving size: 250-1500mg a day.

What is the quality or concentration?

With some supplements, you have to read the fine print to find out it's mixed with secondary cheaper products to make it look like you are getting more...

This is just the pure product, and nothing else - no fillers or extras.

It is always a good idea to measure with accurate scales.

How do you work out how much Choline is different Choline supplements
Taking Choline (C5H14NO, Mol. Weight: 104) as a reference...

CDP-Choline (Citicoline, Mol. Weight: 488.33) -> 21% Choline - i.e. multiply by 0.21 to get amount of Choline
CDP-Choline-Na (Mol. Weight: 510.31) -> 20% Choline - i.e. multiply by 0.20 to get amount of Choline
Alpha GPC (L-alpha-Glycerylphosphoryl choline, Mol. Weight: 257) = 104/257 = 40% Choline - i.e. multiply by 0.40 to get amount of Choline
Choline Dihydrogen Citrate (Mol. Weight: 295.29) -> 35% Choline - i.e. multiply by 0.35 to get amount of Choline
Phosphatidylcholine (Mol. Weight: 760.09) -> 14% Choline - i.e. multiply by 0.14 to get amount of Choline.
You can use the same method for other choline compounds if you know the molecular weight (104/molecular weight x 100).

Serving Suggestion...

Use a scoop measure to make a mixture where 1 scoop = your serving size (say 250mg)... in water or Juice, to avoid having to measure with scales each time...

All the Supplements are different weights for a particular volume, so, unfortunately, there is no 'standard' 250mg scoop measure you can buy. Also, 250mg is a fairly small amount, typically too small for a scoop you can buy in the supermarket, but if you mix it with some dry powder like Benefiber or Psyllium powder, protein powder or something like that you can make a mixture where 1 scoop = 250mg.

For 100 servings where 1 scoop = 250mg serving

Pick a small scoop (whatever you have e.g. teaspoon scoop) and see how many scoops 25g comes to. (lets say 25g was 30 of your scoops)
Add 70 scoops of the other powder - then you have a mixture of 100 scoops where you know 1 scoop has 250mg in it.

Consult your physician before use if taking other medication, or if suffering from acute severe illnesses or kidney damage, or if you have type II diabetes or a major depressive disorder.
