Citicoline

Citicoline, also known as CDP-choline or cytidine diphosphate choline, is a naturally occurring nucleotide that serves in cells as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine. Nustras supplies citicoline as a white crystalline powder for use as an ingredient in nutritional and pharmaceutical formulations.

Citicoline is formulated into supplements in capsule, tablet, softgel and powder form, into nutritional premixes, into functional beverages and powdered drink mixes, and into pharmaceutical preparations where citicoline is specified. It is water-soluble and blends readily with other powdered ingredients.

The material is a white crystalline powder, hygroscopic, with CAS number 987-78-0, molecular formula C14H26N4O11P2 and molecular weight 488.32, standardised to specification. Identity is confirmed by infrared spectroscopy and assay by HPLC, and water content, pH, related substances, heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies citicoline in bulk commercial quantities, in sealed packaging and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Citicoline is an accepted supplement ingredient in several major markets, with status that varies by jurisdiction; buyers confirm the permitted form, level and claim for their application.
