Brain in high performance mode! Optimal levels of choline in the body - a key nutrient for the brain, which is important for the formation of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Supports cognitive function, memory, normal brain activity and blood microcirculation. 1
Brain in top shape
Citicoline (CDP-choline) is one of the most effective precursors of acetylcholine and phosphatidylcholine . For even better availability and more natural penetration into the brain, we used patented Witspower™, which is made only from natural sources. Acetyl-L-carnitine and ginkgo biloba leaf extract ensure increased blood flow and support cognitive function, memory and normal brain activity 1 .
What is CDP-choline?
CDP-choline (full name cytidine-5'-diphosphocholine) is an advanced, bioactive form of choline that has exceptionally good absorption and potency. In the body, CDP-choline is rapidly absorbed and broken down into two important substances:
- Choline → it is used to create the neurotransmitter acetylcholine
- Cytidine → this is converted into uridine in the brain, which, together with choline, supports the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine
What does this mean in practice? CDP-choline is a two-component formula capable of penetrating the blood-brain barrier into the brain.
What makes Witspower™ CDP-choline different from others?
- Ecological production from natural sources by biosynthesis (microbial fermentation + enzymatic conversion) instead of the traditional chemical route from petrochemical raw materials
- Thanks to this production, citicoline is purer, without chemical impurities that the body would have to metabolize.
- High quality and concentration >99%
- Own control over raw materials thanks to in-house production of CMP (cytidylic acid)
Who is the dietary supplement intended for?
- For all brains in full operation: CEOs, students, multitasking parents and managers and people who need to rely on their heads.
- For those who remember their bank PIN, but not where they just put their phone.
- For those times when you need to be the brains of the team. Literally.
- For all athletes and active individuals who need more choline.
- For the elderly and seniors.
CDP-choline vs. regular synthetic choline
CDP choline is one of the most absorbable forms and, unlike the commonly available form of choline (synthetic choline bitartrate), it crosses the blood-brain barrier very well. The best for the most demanding users.
How does citicoline work in the brain?
CDP-choline is easily broken down into choline and cytidine in the body. These two natural components play an important role in the processes taking place directly in brain cells. Choline is the basis for the synthesis of acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter that ensures the transmission of signals between neurons. Cytidine is converted to CMP, which is then converted to UMP, which is used in the brain to produce uridine. This, in turn, together with choline, participates in the formation of phosphatidylcholine, a basic building block of neuronal cell membranes.
Health claims in accordance with applicable legislation

What other products can CDP choline be used with?
- Caffeine - we recommend getting caffeine from green tea or guarana. If you are still a coffee lover, try coffee with added value - mushrooms.
- B vitamins - especially B6, B9 (folic acid) and B12, work together with choline to combat fatigue and exhaustion and, in addition, support the proper functioning of the nervous system and mental activity.
- Omega 3 fatty acids - DHA is a major component of brain cell membranes. Combined with choline, you create a super combo.
- Rhodiola rosea - a popular adaptogen that perfectly complements CDP choline with its effects.
