Citicoline is drug-grade material, used clinically for stroke and TBI in several countries. Here, it’s a nutritional adjunct alongside three other choline sources and trial-grade ginkgo. Do not take with blood thinners.
Citicoline is used clinically as an actual medication for stroke, TBI and cognitive impairment in several countries. This formula supplies it as a nutritional adjunct alongside three other choline sources and standardized ginkgo. Never a substitute for medical evaluation of an acute neurological event. Do not take with blood thinners.
Citicoline is used clinically as an actual medication in several countries for stroke, traumatic brain injury, and cognitive impairment. This product supplies it inside an undisclosed blend, as a nutritional adjunct. It is never a substitute for medical evaluation and treatment of an acute neurological event.
Most choline supplements use a simple salt form. Citicoline is the most brain-bioavailable choline form known, and it has real drug-grade clinical history behind it — not marketing language, actual medical use.
In several countries, citicoline is prescribed clinically for stroke recovery, traumatic brain injury, and diagnosed cognitive impairment, under medical supervision. Here, it functions as one ingredient in a nutritional formula, at an undisclosed amount within the blend. The clinical history is real; the dose in this product is not the same as a prescribed clinical dose, and this formula should never be mistaken for treatment of an acute neurological event.
Choline bitartrate is disclosed at 24mg — the only specific figure on this label. Phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine, Alpha GPC, and citicoline all contribute choline through different mechanisms and different delivery routes, but their individual amounts sit inside the undisclosed proprietary blend. Total elemental choline cannot be calculated from this label. That's stated plainly here rather than implied to be more precise than it is.
| Claim | Where It Stands |
|---|---|
| Citicoline in stroke, TBI, cognitive impairment | Real drug-grade history, genuinely mixed on chronic prevention specifically. |
| Citicoline vs. phosphatidylcholine and TMAO | Real finding: citicoline-derived choline is less prone to TMAO conversion than some other choline sources. |
| Ginkgo at 24%/6% standardization | Matches trial-grade material. Mixed on dementia prevention specifically in large modern trials. |
| Citicoline safety profile | Well established, safe and well tolerated across decades of clinical use. |
| Component | Role |
|---|---|
| Choline (bitartrate) 24mg | The only disclosed amount. Simplest choline salt form. |
| Ginkgo Biloba 24% ginkgolides, 6% terpene lactones | Real trial-grade standardization. Circulatory and antioxidant mechanism. |
| Phosphatidylcholine sunflower | Membrane phospholipid and choline source at once. |
| Phosphatidylserine soybean | The allergen source in this formula. Separately researched membrane phospholipid. |
| Alpha GPC | Highly bioavailable choline donor, crosses efficiently into the brain. |
| Turmeric curcumin extract | NF-kB anti-inflammatory mechanism. |
| Citicoline Cytidine 5-Diphosphocholine | The most clinically significant ingredient. Used as an actual drug for stroke, TBI, and cognitive impairment. The most brain-bioavailable choline form known. |
General cognitive support, memory and focus — four choline-donor mechanisms plus ginkgo circulatory support address several angles at once.
Aging-related cognitive concern — brain choline uptake declines with age, and citicoline has real trial history in this population.
Recovery support alongside medical care — citicoline is a clinical adjunct in stroke and TBI recovery in several countries. Never a substitute.
Already running Complete Neuro or Complete Synapse — a genuinely different mechanism set. See the pairing table below for how these three divide the work.
The label says one tablet daily. Dr. Frazier's standard tier matches it, taken in the morning. A split dose, one tablet AM and one at midday, runs above label under physician direction. A higher tier, two tablets AM and one at midday, is reserved for a genuine clinical indication, physician-directed and monitored. Morning and midday only — avoid late evening given the choline and circulatory activity.
Because the systems this formula targets have specific segmental supply. Vagal outflow, C1 to C2, feeds the cholinergic system this formula supports directly. The vertebral artery pathway governing cerebral perfusion, C1 to C3, is directly relevant to the ginkgo circulatory mechanism. The superior cervical ganglion, T1 to T4, governs sympathetic vasomotor tone to the head and neck.
Supplementation supplies the choline and circulatory substrate. Restoring normal segmental motion at each of these levels addresses the nervous-system signaling and blood flow governing how well the body uses it.

Both things are true at the same time, and this page won't pretend otherwise to make the answer simpler.
The manufacturer's printed label states a direct contraindication: do not take this product if you are taking Coumadin, warfarin, or any other blood thinner. That's an absolute instruction on the label itself, not a caution to weigh case by case.
Separately, the underlying scientific question — whether ginkgo specifically produces a measurable bleeding effect — is genuinely contested in controlled trials. The mechanism is plausible; the trial evidence on measurable effect is inconsistent. That's an honest statement about the state of the research, and it exists alongside the label instruction, not in place of it. A patient on a blood thinner follows the label's absolute instruction. A researcher or clinician evaluating the underlying ginkgo literature encounters genuinely mixed trial data. Neither statement contradicts the other; they're answering different questions.
Because four of the six active ingredients sit inside an undisclosed proprietary blend, and only the bitartrate figure is broken out. This page states that limitation directly rather than implying you can calculate a total dose from the label — you can't, and pretending otherwise would be dishonest about what the label actually discloses.

| Each Tablet Contains | Amount |
|---|---|
| Choline (as bitartrate) | 24 mg |
| Proprietary blend — Ginkgo Biloba Extract (24% ginkgosides, 6% terpene lactones), Phosphatidylcholine (sunflower), Phosphatidylserine (soybean), Alpha GPC, Turmeric (curcumin) extract, Citicoline | 143 mg |
Only the bitartrate amount is disclosed. Total elemental choline across all four sources cannot be calculated from this label.
Other ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, tricalcium phosphate, silicate, vegetable stearic acid, vegetable magnesium stearate. Vegetarian, gluten free.
Contains soybean (from phosphatidylserine) — an absolute exclusion for soy allergy.
Manufacturer contraindication, stated directly: do not take if you are taking Coumadin, warfarin, or any other blood thinner.
Suggested use: 1 tablet daily, or as directed. Absolute Health standard matches label, taken in the morning; split AM/midday dosing and a higher clinical-indication tier both run above label under physician direction. Morning and midday only.
Cautions: ginkgo carries a plausible but trial-inconsistent bleeding-risk mechanism; stop two weeks before any scheduled surgery regardless, and coordinate with a prescriber on anticoagulant therapy. Turmeric stimulates bile flow; caution in biliary obstruction or an active gallbladder attack. Physician direction appropriate in pregnancy and nursing given the undisclosed blend content.
Refer out: new or worsening cognitive symptoms, confusion, or any acute neurological change warrant prompt medical evaluation, not nutritional support.
| Product | Dose | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Complete Neuro | Per protocol | Defends the peripheral nerve instead. Distal, burning, tingling presentations, not central choline density. |
| Complete Synapse | 1 daily | Builds central synaptic function with DHEA, a hormone precursor excluding pregnancy, lactation, under 18, and any prescription medication without direction. This formula carries none of those exclusions. |
| Complete MG | 1 AM and 1 PM to 2 and 2 | General cofactor and circulatory support alongside the choline and ginkgo mechanisms here. |
| C-1000-TR | 1 daily to 5 daily | Antioxidant support alongside the ginkgo and citicoline mechanisms. |

In several countries, yes — literally, not figuratively. Citicoline is used clinically as an actual medication for stroke, traumatic brain injury, and cognitive impairment outside the United States. In this formula, it's supplied inside an undisclosed proprietary blend as a nutritional adjunct, not a prescribed dose for treating any of those conditions. It is never a substitute for medical evaluation and treatment of an acute neurological event — new or worsening confusion, sudden cognitive change, or any acute neurological symptom needs emergency medical attention, not this formula.
Because they work through different mechanisms and different delivery routes, even though the label doesn't let you calculate the total elemental choline. Choline bitartrate is the simplest salt form, disclosed at 24mg. Phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylserine are membrane phospholipids that also donate choline. Alpha GPC crosses efficiently into the brain. Citicoline is the most brain-bioavailable form known, and the one with real clinical drug history behind it. Four different tools, one undisclosed combined amount — this page states that limitation directly rather than implying the label tells you more than it does.
No — the manufacturer's label states this as a direct contraindication: do not take if you are taking Coumadin, warfarin, or any other blood thinner. That's stated as an absolute on the printed label, not a caution to weigh. Separately, the underlying ginkgo-and-bleeding mechanism is genuinely contested in controlled trials — plausible, but inconsistent on measurable effect. Both things are true at once: the trial evidence on ginkgo specifically is mixed, and the manufacturer's printed contraindication for this product is not. Follow the label.
Each addresses a genuinely different piece of the nervous system. Complete Neuro defends the peripheral nerve — distal, burning, tingling presentations, not central choline density. Complete Synapse builds central synaptic function through DHEA, a hormone precursor that excludes pregnancy, lactation, anyone under 18, and anyone on prescription medication without physician direction. This formula carries none of those DHEA-related exclusions, which matters for a patient who wants central cognitive support without a hormone precursor in the mix.
The standardization is real — 24% ginkgolides, 6% terpene lactones matches trial-grade material, not a diluted extract. But large modern trials on dementia prevention specifically have been mixed. The honest position is that the circulatory and antioxidant mechanism is real and the standardization is genuine, while the dementia-prevention claim specifically has not held up consistently in the largest, most recent trials.
One genuine finding is worth knowing: citicoline-derived choline is less prone to conversion into TMAO than some other choline sources. TMAO is a compound of ongoing research interest in cardiovascular risk, and this is a real, documented difference in how citicoline is metabolized compared to plain choline salts — not a claim about outcomes, just a documented metabolic distinction.
