Cognizin

What Does Cognizin Do?

Cognizin is a patented, highly bioavailable form of Citicoline (CDP-Choline) that acts as a powerful brain nutrient to sharpen your mental edge. Unlike standard choline sources, it provides the brain with the essential building blocks needed for both structural integrity and signaling power during high-intensity training.

• Sharpened Mental Focus: It increases the synthesis of acetylcholine, the primary neurotransmitter responsible for the mind-muscle connection and cognitive processing.
• Sustained Brain Energy: Cognizin supports the health of mitochondria within brain cells, helping you maintain mental stamina even when your physical energy begins to flag.
• Structural Support: It provides the phospholipids necessary for the repair and maintenance of brain cell membranes, ensuring long-term cognitive health.
• Dopamine Modulation: By increasing dopamine receptor density, it can help improve your mood and motivation to push through the most difficult sets.

Clinical vs. Gym Bro Dosing

Key Insight: The 250mg dose is the clinical sweet spot. Because Cognizin is significantly more bioavailable than generic choline bitartrate, you don't need massive doses to feel the effects. It is best taken 30-45 minutes before your workout to allow for peak plasma levels.

Side Effects & Warnings

• Mild Headaches: In rare cases, increasing acetylcholine levels too rapidly can cause a dull headache or "brain pressure."
• Digestive Distress: Some users may experience slight nausea or stomach discomfort if taken without any food.
• Restlessness: Due to its effect on mental alertness, taking it very late in the evening may interfere with your ability to wind down for sleep.

Tip: If your pre-workout already contains other potent cholinergics like Alpha-GPC, monitor your total choline intake to avoid the irritability or "brain fog" that can occur from excessive acetylcholine accumulation.
