Ageless Beauty And Cognitive Enhancement In Women – Citicoline
June 26, 2011 Leave a comment
Antiaging and the extension of youthfulness, both superficially and esthetically, as well as cognitively, continue to be of tremendous importance to women. The notion of “ageless beauty” is ageless in itself.
The combination of Ageless Beauty (achieved surgically and non-surgically) and cognitive preservation — the slowing down of psychological aging — is a marketer’s delight in a world of consumers who happen to be female.
Topically, women’s skin cremes, serums and treatments sell at tremendous markups and have large markets. They contain a variety of ingredients which either cause exfoliation, moisturization or collagen “plumping”. Some of these include Vitamin C acid, topical Q-10, Vitamin E, squalene (squalane) oils, tretenoin, hyaluronic acid, various palmitoyl polypeptides and a variety of other media-popularized fad formulations.
More recently, the results of an interesting study, show that a particular chemical agent, citicoline, may actually actually help preserve cognitive abilities in women as they age. A brief link to an article follows for your information:
- Citicoline may help cognition in women, study says
A study at the University of Utah Brain Institute found that citicoline may maintain and improve cognition in healthy women as they age. Citicoline is found in the brain and liver and can be purchased as a nutritional supplement, and researchers said study participants who got either high or low doses had better attention and made fewer errors on tests than those who took a placebo.

The above article and the study which it describes show some significant promise.
