Double Wood Supplements CDP Choline (Citicoline) Supplement, Pharmaceutical Grade, Third Party Tested (60 Capsules 300mg)

I really like the Double Wood company! They have excellent prices, excellent quality, and I think they're US based. When I was looking around for CDP Choline, I was pleased to see they carry it, and bought this bottle. I had no idea how effective it is! For anyone contemplating CDP Choline, this is literally brain food. You'll want to be a little cautious taking it, because it quickly will get your brain firing on all cylinders. It's a "morning" supplement, because it adds energy. What I found is that it helps you to get "above" the confusion of the daily task list. You can see everything more clearly and quickly figure out which and what you want to do. A good example is the movie "Limitless," with Bradley Cooper. But instead of some obscure fictional drug that causes lots of problems, this is an actual food used by the brain itself. You would ordinarily get choline from eggs, liver, fish, poultry, soybeans, and dairy products. So no, except for the soybeans, it's not going to work for vegans. But you have to eat a lot of actual food in order to get useful amounts of choline. One capsule gives you a significant amount, and you'll find that you just think better. I'm 74, a senior citizen as they say, and I started taking 1/day, when I first got the bottle. I noticed immediately that I was able to quickly prioritize my day, re-order things into a smoother flow, and see better ways to accomplish complicated things. Wow! So I folded it into my daily routine. About a month later, I realized I was waking up ready to go. I didn't really need a cup of tea, although I like the taste. I'd realize I'd "forgotten" that morning caffeine. But I also began to notice I would be standing at the kitchen window, looking at the birds and thinking about "stuff." I thought maybe ten minutes had passed, and I'd move to do something else. Then I looked at a clock and realized nearly an hour had gone by! My mind was moving so fast, and going down "rabbit holes" of related information, that time suddenly didn't work the same. This is good stuff, especially for older folks. Just go easy on it, right? Nowadays, I tend to use it for days when I know I'm going to be busy, with a lot going on. Or when I'm getting involved in a particularly complicated project. It has no side effects, non-inflammatory, and is simply a somewhat more concentrated form of the normal choline you get from food. I just didn't expect it to have such an amazing effect! Really good stuff!

It’s a great supplement. It’ll make you think a little faster. Combine with small amount of caffeine. Take it very easy on the caffeine. Take it right after you wake up so it doesn’t keep you up at night. It helps with cognitive speed and and, I think, memory. I’d be careful because it IS a prescription medication in Europe. Good to exercise caution, make certain you are healthy.

This choline is out of this world and has helped with my dysautonomia- - Vasovagal syncope. Used to feel lightheaded and gasping for air while working out and i can push through with no issues. Memory has been razor sharp as well. Feel so motivated to get things done asap. Well done please dont chanfe the formula

very good,,,,,

I have been taking this product for about 6 months and I have felt much better, improving focus and less mental fatigue.

Amazing! I have ptosis in my left eyelid and am waiting on some testing for myesthenia gravis. I did a little research and found that I might be missing acetylcholine. I made the mistake of trying to use a combination of supplements to treat it including uridine and huzperzine A. That was definitely too much But shockingly my eyelid lifted and appears normal. I think that all I need is this supplement and occasional husperzine A. But I would recommend against uridine personally

The main benefit I've experienced since taking CDP Choline (Citicoline) is an undeniable increase in focus. Tasks that used to feel daunting or tedious have become more manageable, and I've found myself able to concentrate for more extended periods. It's not a drastic change, but a steady and noticeable improvement that's made a positive difference in my daily routine. Quality-wise, I've found CDP Choline (Citicoline) to be reliable and well-made. The packaging is straightforward, and the capsules are easy to take. It feels like a product designed with care, not flashiness. Of course, it's essential to approach any supplement with caution and awareness of one's individual needs. Consulting with a healthcare provider to ensure it's suitable for your specific situation is always advised. But if you're seeking a no-nonsense supplement to boost your focus and mental clarity, CDP Choline (Citicoline) might be worth considering. In conclusion, I've found CDP Choline (Citicoline) to be a valuable addition to my daily routine. It offers a tangible boost in focus without going overboard or making outrageous promises. I appreciate its straightforward effectiveness and plan to continue using it as part of my cognitive support.

I gave this 3 stars because of the negative side effects for me personally. Let me say on the positive, it arrived packaged as described and PRIME time!! I tried this supplement for about a week, and noticed I was anxious, I was moody and not myself usual cheerful self. I also felt depression which was really surprising. I did experience lots of dreams that usually I wake up and don't remember but I had full memory of those dreams. So that was unexpected but not bothersome. Let me say, that this product "does" work. Its not a bad product. Just not for my bodies chemistry. I am hypothyroid and currently take medication to manage it on a daily basis. I should know better when taking supplements because a lot of times what these supplements claim, gives me the opposite. I speculate that because I take medications that already cause an increase in my hormones, it likely was the wrong mixture with this supplement causing negative side effects. Point being...before you buy anything, or if you are currently under the care of a physician and being treated with medications, you should consult the doctor first. Again, this likely isn't a bad product, but maybe for the hypothyroid people having a hormonal imbalance, you should ask your doctor first.

Throughout my life I had very good thinking and learning ability. Of course, I always took that for granted....until recently. Lately I realized I was trying to "catch up" with my chores rather then doing them comfortably which got me thinking what could have happen or changed. To be honest it took me some time to analyze my symptoms and realize what is happening. I hope this review maybe helpful to someone. When you get older, your brain also gets older (let alone our destructive behavior/addictions like alcohol and smoking). Just like our bodies needs certain vitamins, our brains could have use some help as well. After reading and researching a lot, I have started supplementing CDP-Choline to increase my Acetylcholine levels and felt benefits within few days. Here is what it does for me: Cons: - Better working memory (I can handle few tasks at the same time easier) - Better memory retention (I would remember details and important things much better then before) - Feel more present/in sync with surroundings (I would feel more engaged with people around and more aware "visually" rather then being concentrated/stack in my thoughts - those who experienced "brain fog" would understand) - Feel more motivated and generally feel better (CDP-Choline also provides Uridine which helps rebuild dopamine receptors - dopamine itself is a reward neurotransmitter, so the more your brain can feel it, the better you feel overall). - So basically I get more thing done easier and feel good about it and myself. Cons: - Not really a concern but I find CDP-Choline from Doublewood to be a bit too potent for me so I take only one tablet per day and even then take some days off to not overdo it - Please note that if you suddenly start feeling depressed/sleepy/lethargic and some muscle tension (for me it is the back of my neck - for you maybe different) then you just took a bit too much of this supplement. No worries there - it will go away in a day or two. You can also take some L-Tyrosine, it has some Acetylcholine Esterase properties (it will break down you excessive Choline levels) to make return to baseline faster. Overall I think this is very beneficial supplement that does not cost you arm and a leg. IMPORTANT: although I did extensive research and tried quite a few things myself already, I do not posses any medical degree so please do your own research before you take anyone's advise on the internet.

Did not fail us during pregnancy, always packed nicely and on time.

Buen producto

I recommend taking Citicholine. I take it in combination with Huperzine A. Huperzine A increases the amount of acetylcholine in your brain and choline (aka acetylcholine) increases the amount of dopamine receptors, improves memory, helps people with alzheimers and possibly schizophrenia and it protects your nervous system. Citicholine in particular is the best form of choline supplements. [Worst]Choline Bitartrate is cheap and has a high density of choline but ineffective because it does not cross the blood brain barrier in this form, making it the worst form of choline for supplementation. [Second best] Alpha-GPC is an effective choice and it contains more choline density than citicholine, but [THE BEST] Citicholine is the best because along with choline, it includes cytidine (The precursor to nucleotide uridine, a key factor in synaptic strength and neural connectivity, a powerful nootropic on its own.). So Citicholine is a two for one mental charger. I felt the difference in my dopamine receptors the first dose I took along with Huperzine A.

When I first ordered the CDP Choline, I only took 300 mg (one capsule) a day, yet could feel the difference it made towards getting rid of brain fog. I then did more research, and discovered I could increase my dosage, and so when my next order came in, I immediately took an additional 2 capsules, (one in morning, two in afternoon). I continued going about my normal day of avoiding writing (I am a writer who has struggled with brain fog), when suddenly I felt energized, and I actually wanted to write; and my head was really clear. Amazing; an almost miraculous feeling. I have read the Citicoline, which this is, is the form more easily absorbed.
