Citicoline

Compare every Citicoline product across UK retailers on Suppio, ranked by true value - price per active dose, not pack size. Prices refreshed daily.

Also known as CDP-choline — a choline source the body uses to make acetylcholine and cell-membrane phospholipids; a common nootropic ingredient.

We rank Citicoline by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.

What it is

Citicoline is a source of choline, which is a nutrient the body uses to create cell-membrane phospholipids and acetylcholine. It is commonly used as a nootropic, which is a term for substances intended to support brain function. It is also known as CDP-choline.

How it differs from the generic version

The primary difference between a branded version and a generic choline source is consistency. While generic versions can vary in quality between batches, a branded ingredient is standardised, meaning it is processed to ensure the same potency and purity in every dose.

Why brands use the branded version

Supplement companies use branded versions to avoid the cost and effort of performing their own extraction and quality testing. By paying for a trademarked ingredient, they can guarantee a consistent product and use the branded name on their packaging to signal quality to the customer.

Worth knowing

A branded name on a label does not automatically mean the product contains an effective amount. Some brands include a branded ingredient at a very low dose, known as label dressing, just so they can list the name on the packaging.
