Neurocil Description

Each capsule contains: Citicoline (as sodium) 500 mg.
Citicoline is a derivative of choline and cytidine that is involved in the biosynthesis of lecithin. It is claimed to increase blood flow and oxygen consumption in the brain and has given in the treatment of cerebrovascular disorders, parkinsonism and head injury. Citicoline is an interneuronal communication enhancer. It increases the neurotransmission levels because it favors the synthesis and production speed of dopamine in the striatum, acting then as a dopaminergic agonist thru the inhibition of tyrosine-hydroxylase. Citicoline acts as a presynaptic cholinergic agent which favors the synthesis of acetylcholine. It also decreases the release of serotonin. Citicoline makes the neuron more active, causing astrocytes to loosen their grip on the capillaries, thus improving microcirculation. It has the ability to slightly increase cerebral blood flow and exerts an anti-aggregation effect on the platelets.
