Citicoline
Citicoline contains the patented compound Cognizen which promotes mental energy and focus.
Research suggests that Cognizen reduces age related decreases in mental functioning enhancing neuroprotection and neuroregenerative properties. Research also suggests Citicoline may help to mitigate age-related cognitive decline by increasing energy reserves and utilization.
A review of citicoline supplementation with older subjects found improvements in a wide range of cognitive and behavioral measures, including memory, attention, behavior, reaction time, relational life, independence and cooperation.
Research suggests citicoline may be neuroprotective in stroke.
A recent 2020 study showed a decrease in Alzheimer Disease symptoms when citicoline was combined with cholinesterase inhibitors in the treatment of the symptoms of this disease. Improvement in behavior, cognition and mood was noted with the combined treatment in a retrospective observational trial compared to treating with donepezil alone.

Magnesium Glycinate
Magnesium is required for energy production and the production of the antioxidant, glutathione.
An adult male needs 420 mg of magnesium and an adult female needs 320 mg per day for optimal functioning. One study suggest that up to 75% of the population may not be meeting their magnesium needs.
Deficiency Signs:
