- Its 1,000 mg of cognizin citicoline (filed by NIH under citicoline) is higher than 97% of the 206 citicoline products that print an amount.
The NIH database records one serving a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for adults and children 4 or more years of age. The directions as printed are further down this page.
