Natural Compound Proven to Improve Memory, Spark Energy and Protect Against Mental 'Burn Out' that Accompanies Aging

NEW ORLEANS, June 8 /PRNewswire/ -- A recent study out of McLean Hospital, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School, confirms that Cognizin(R) Citicoline, a dietary supplement composed of a powerful natural anti-aging compound, that has been shown to support the improvement of brain function by promoting neural and cognitive performance, will be presented at this year's International Society of Sports Nutrition Annual Conference in New Orleans by Dr. Deborah Yurgelun-Todd on Tuesday, June 16, 2009. The International Society of Sports Nutrition is the only non-profit academic society dedicated to promoting the science and application of evidence-based sports nutrition and supplementation.

The study, entitled "Citicoline Enhances Frontal Lobe Bioenergetics as Measured by Phosphorus Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy," was published in the Journal of NMR in BioMedicine (Vol 21, Issue 10, Dec 2008, 1066-1075). The citicoline used in the study is manufactured by Kyowa Hakko, an international health ingredients manufacturer, using a proprietary formula under the brand name Cognizin(R).

Several prior studies of Cognizin(R) Citicoline, as well as this one conducted at McLean Hospital, a Harvard Medical School affiliate in early 2008 and presented at the Society for Neuroscience's 37th Annual Meeting, demonstrated the supplement's effectiveness in providing essential structural components for synthesizing brain cell membranes and helping subjects maintain normal cognitive function as they age. It achieves these results by increasing the production of several neurotransmitters in the central nervous system, including acetylcholine, norepinephrine and dopamine.

In the study, 16 subjects were randomly chosen to receive 500 mg and 2000 mg daily o
