During intense workouts, the nervous system is put under strain and its recovery is severely hampered. Fatigue leads to a decrease in attention and certain supplements can remedy this.
What is citicoline?
Nutrimuscle Citicoline is a special form of choline. The latter is an essential nutrient, present in the brain, which supports cognitive functions (memory, decision-making, perception or attention). We explain in detail how citicoline can increase your focus and attention.
With the help of brain messengers called neurotransmitters, thoughts, concentration and attention are able to circulate. These same neurotransmitters send tiny chemical messages across the billions of our synapses. These synapses, powered by brain cells, allow information to pass from one neuron to another.
This neurotransmission process is made possible by an essential nutrient: citicoline!
What are the benefits of Nutrimuscle citicoline for athletes?
Citicoline has many benefits that are sought after during high intensity or long duration training. The latter:
- Supports focus and attention
- Promotes brain energy and health
- Increases neurotransmitter activity
- Maintains the integrity of brain membranes
Citicoline supplementation is therefore relevant for athletes or anyone wishing to boost their concentration skills, especially since studies carried out in France and the United States highlight enormous choline deficiencies in the general population (around 90%) (1, 2).
When citicoline is supplemented, when it is absorbed by the body, it is hydrolyzed into two molecules:
- Choline
- Uridine
These molecules travel through the bloodstream to the brain, where they combine to form citicoline. From this point on, citicoline supports brain functions that contribute to the proper circulation of blood throughout the body and the maintenance of cellular structures.
What did testers say about Nutrimuscle citicoline?
34 people have tested Nutrimuscle citicoline, here are some figures that show what they thought of it:
73% of testers felt effects after taking Nutrimuscle citicoline.
When asked: "Did you feel a better neuromuscular connection, yes or no?" 78% answered yes.
We also asked testers to specify the effects felt during the day, here are their answers:
“Acute mind. Better concentration when performing complex tasks.”
" Better concentration in combination with Omega 3 and multivitamin, all taken in the morning or at noon."
“Faster recovery, less fatigue.”
“Better concentration, easier to complete an action without stopping.”
What they thought of citicoline in a few words:
"Interesting booster effect before training. But a supplement that can also be used for occasions when you need increased concentration and better intellectual performance. Ultimately very versatile and not just for athletes."
"During strength training exercises, this allows me to be more focused on the movement, and better feel the quality of execution, especially at the end of the series."
"The taste is pleasant, the miscibility is very good and the absorption is easy. In terms of effects, I felt better concentration during my work, less eye fatigue. I think that this supplement has very strong health benefits, especially for the brain."
