CDP-Cholin (Citicolin) is a dietary supplement. It is imporant for nerve cell mebranes and functioning and is thought to possess antioxidative und neuroprotective properties.
A clinical trial in patients with Alzheimer’s showed significant benefits im compariosn to placebo.. Of a total of 349 patients, those treated with citicolin did not show a deterioration of cognitive functioning during a 9-month observation period. The difference was significant in comparison to placebo.
Comment: Current medication for Alzheimer’s seems to work – but it doesn’t achieve miracles. Any possible future additional therapy approach is therefore good news.
