How Citicoline+Piracetam works

Citicoline is a neuroprotectant. It protects the nerve cells by blocking the release of certain chemicals (such as glutamate and other free radicals) within the brain and nervous system that damages the nerve cells.

Piracetam is a GABA analogue. It improves oxygen supply to the brain and nervous system and protects it from further injury. Together, they repair the brain cells and regulate proper nerve signal transmissions across the brain and the nervous system.
