“In today's hyperactive world where we are all connected 24/7, there is huge interest in maximizing the power of one's brain.

It's even being proposed as a new Olympic sport. Supporting cognitive adaptability and improving mental sharpness are considered to be essential with shots of caffeine no longer being the only option,” she adds.
“Many of their new product formulas now contain Cognizin Citicoline, a brain ingredient which is GRAS and EU Novel Food [status] approved. It is a non-stimulant in comparison to caffeine and has been clinically proven to improve attention, focus and motor speed. Citicoline also improves the phospholipid balance which is essential for normal brain function,” Ritchie says.
Cognizin has been studied in a variety of human clinical trials, with the most recent human clinical trial focusing on the benefits of Cognizin on healthy, middle-aged men and women.
Conducted at the Brain Imaging Center at McLean Hospital, researchers found increases in brain activity among participants that had taken a Cognizin supplement for six weeks. Differences were noticeable in those participants that performed tasks that required sustained attention.
Kyowa Hakko also reports that clinical trials have also found that Cognizin Citicoline supports healthy mitochondrial function. Healthy mitochondrial function results in higher levels of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) – our bodies primary energy storage molecule – in brain cells.
