Is this Cognizin? No.
People search for "Jarrow citicoline Cognizin", so let's clear it up. This is stabilized cytidine 5'-diphosphocholine. Cognizin is a trademarked citicoline from Kyowa Hakko with its own body of clinical research and a higher price to match. Both are citicoline, but they aren't the same material, and you should know that before you buy rather than after.
What citicoline actually is
Your body uses citicoline to make phosphatidylcholine, which is a building block of cell membranes, including the ones around brain cells. It's also a source of choline, an essential nutrient most people fall short on from food alone. Choline is what your body uses to produce acetylcholine, which does a lot of the work behind memory and focus.
Each capsule gives you 250 mg. Suggested use is one capsule up to twice a day with food.
How to take it
With food. If you take a second capsule, put it earlier in the day rather than at night. Some people find a late dose makes it harder to wind down, though this varies a fair bit.
Give it a few weeks. Like most nootropic ingredients, citicoline isn't something you feel sharply on day one, and anyone describing it that way is overselling.
Before you start
Check with your doctor if you're pregnant, nursing, trying to conceive, under 18 or taking medication. The capsule shell is bovine gelatin, so it isn't vegetarian.
