Jarrow Formulas Citicoline (CDP Choline) 250 mg - 120 Capsules - Supports Brain Health & Attention Performance - Up to 120 Servings (Packaging May Vary)

A must have 👍👍works like magic a few days into starting a pill a day .

I've been dealing with cortisol insufficiency for some time. Energy, drive and focus ebb and flow. After doing quite a bit of research on dopamine and cortisol relationship I realized this might help me recover more quickly. After the first 250mg dose (45 minutes) I actually felt like getting up and doing something. I haven't tested yet but I suspect that I have a defect in an enzyme that plays a role in dopamine production and/or dopamine receptors are genetically under responsive as they might compare to someone without symptoms of low dopamine activity. Regardless, since cdp choline is found to support increased dopamine metabolism and (maybe more importantly) also supports increased dopamine receptor sensitivity, I had to give it a try. It has definitely helped me take more stressful days in stride, be far more productive, helped to better regulate circadian rhythm (I fall asleep like clock work after just a week) and recover from the day. My focus and drive are just so much better. I feel normal again.********fast forward 3 weeks***********After taking 250mg then upping it to 500mg then to 750mg daily (two upon waking mg and one midday) I began to get more done, focus increased further, my sleep cycles were great (asleep by 10, up by 4-5:30am). Everything was perfect and then I started getting these weird headaches that came from nowhere. Along with the headaches was a twinge of nausea also not like sickness nausea or from working out too hard. From past experience this can only be described as a dopaminergic nausea brought on by something neural. After digging a bit I realized that 750mg everyday was outrageous for my needs. I backed off thinking that the supplement was just not right for me after my mornings began to be characterized by doped up, sleepy and driverless. I felt like I took a flexoril the night before (they wreck me).After a few months I reluctantly started taking the product again but this time only 500mg at a time once every THREE days. I did this after learning that this supplement has a halflife (active in your body) of around 72 hours/3days. When I realized that I had just been overdosing it, everything go better.I now stick with 500mg every 3 days (Monday, Thursday, Sunday etc). I'm 190, athletic, and still recovering from sustained trauma mental and physical. Perhaps that helps give a better idea if you're going to use it this way. If you're having weird side effects back off for a bit then realize this is a lingering supplement that probably doesn't need daily dosing for most without serious neurological issues. Before I began dosing it correctly I would've given it maybe 2-3 stars but after working with it and then letting my mom (adrenal insufficiency and recovering from major back surgery) try it, definitely a 5 star product. Easy to misuse and misunderstand but works very well when you get it right.

Labelled with green dot but capsule is made of bovine (meaning cow) gelatin. Very misleading and risky especially in India.

there are definitely some improvements in my overall mood.
