CDP Choline Complex | Citicoline 500mg + Alpha-GPC 150mg + ALCAR + PS | Vitality

CDP Choline Complex — quick summary

Vitality Supplements CDP Choline Complex provides 1005mg of actives per 2-capsule serving: CDP Choline (Citicoline) 500mg, Acetyl-L-Carnitine 250mg, Alpha-GPC 150mg, Phosphatidylserine 100mg (sunflower-derived) and BioPerine black pepper extract 5mg standardised to 95% piperine. It uses two choline sources rather than one. Citicoline is roughly 18% choline by weight and also supplies cytidine; Alpha-GPC is roughly 40% choline. Together they deliver approximately 152mg of choline per serving — above the 82.5mg per-serving threshold required under retained Regulation (EU) 432/2012 to use the three authorised choline health claims: choline contributes to normal lipid metabolism, to the maintenance of normal liver function, and to normal homocysteine metabolism. No authorised health claim exists for cognitive function in relation to citicoline, Alpha-GPC, Acetyl-L-Carnitine or Phosphatidylserine, and none is made. Each pouch contains 60 vegan vegetable-cellulose capsules, a 30-day supply at two capsules daily. Free from gluten, dairy, soy, nuts and GMOs. Every batch is third-party tested at an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory, and UK manufactured. Sold with a 60-day money-back guarantee. As a food supplement, adults take 2 capsules daily with water, preferably with food; do not exceed the recommended daily dose. If pregnant, breastfeeding or on medication, consult a doctor before use. This product is a food supplement and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

The regulatory bit

Most nootropics can claim nothing at all.

Choline is one of the few ingredients in this category with authorised health claims under retained Regulation (EU) 432/2012. They may be used where a food provides at least 82.5mg of choline per serving. This formula supplies roughly 152mg.

Choline contributes to normal lipid metabolism
Choline contributes to the maintenance of normal liver function
Choline contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism

And here is what we cannot say: there is no authorised health claim for cognitive function, memory, focus or concentration in relation to choline, citicoline, Alpha-GPC, Acetyl-L-Carnitine or Phosphatidylserine in the UK or EU. So we make none. We describe the molecules, the doses and the testing — nothing more.

The Formula

Two choline sources — and why that matters.

Most choline products pick one. This one uses both, because they are not the same molecule.

18%
Choline by weight — Citicoline
Citicoline 500mg
Roughly 18% choline by weight, and it also supplies cytidine. It is an intermediate in the Kennedy pathway — the route cells use to build phosphatidylcholine.
40%
Choline by weight — Alpha-GPC
Alpha-GPC 150mg
Roughly 40% choline by weight — a denser choline carrier, water-soluble, found in trace amounts in dairy and organ meats.
152mg
Combined choline per serving
Above the claim threshold
Together the two sources clear the 82.5mg per-serving threshold that the three authorised choline claims require. One source alone at these doses would not.
Formulation

Five actives — the complete breakdown.

Every dose printed on the label. No proprietary blends, no fillers hiding the numbers.

500mg
CDP Choline
Citicoline · CAS 987-78-0 · C₁₄H₂₆N₄O₁₁P₂

CDP Choline (Citicoline)

A naturally occurring nucleotide found in every cell of the body. Biologically it is an intermediate in the Kennedy pathway — the route by which cells synthesise phosphatidylcholine, one of the major structural phospholipids of the cell membrane.

It is roughly 18% choline by weight, and uniquely also supplies cytidine. It is a permitted food supplement ingredient in the UK.

  • 500mg per serving — the largest single active in the formula
  • Supplies both choline and cytidine
  • Vegan · non-GMO · no proprietary blend
  • Third-party tested for identity and potency, every batch
250mg
Acetyl-L-Carnitine
ALCAR · CAS 3040-38-8 · C₉H₁₇NO₄

Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR)

The acetylated ester of L-carnitine, an amino acid derivative the body synthesises from lysine and methionine. Carnitine's established biological role is the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria.

Included at a full 250mg — a stated dose, not a dusting.

  • 250mg per serving, disclosed in full
  • The acetylated form, not plain L-carnitine
  • Vegan · non-GMO
  • Assayed on every batch
150mg
Alpha-GPC
L-Alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine · CAS 28319-77-9 · C₈H₂₀NO₆P

Alpha-GPC

A water-soluble, choline-containing phospholipid found in trace amounts in dairy, organ meats and wheat germ. At roughly 40% choline by weight, it is the densest choline carrier in the formula.

This is the second choline source — the reason the serving clears the threshold for the authorised choline claims.

  • 150mg per serving, in addition to the citicoline
  • ~40% choline by weight
  • Together with citicoline: ~152mg choline per serving
  • Vegan · non-GMO · third-party tested
100mg
Phosphatidylserine
Sunflower-derived · CAS 51446-62-9

Phosphatidylserine — from sunflower, not soy

An aminophospholipid and a structural component of cell membranes, concentrated in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane.

Most phosphatidylserine on the market is soy-derived. Ours is sunflower-derived — which is why this product is soy-free.

  • 100mg per serving
  • Sunflower-derived, not soy — a deliberate choice
  • Suitable for anyone avoiding soy
  • Vegan · non-GMO
5mg
BioPerine®
95% piperine · Piper nigrum · CAS 94-62-2 · C₁₇H₁₉NO₃

BioPerine® Black Pepper Extract

Black pepper extract standardised to 95% piperine, the principal pungent alkaloid of Piper nigrum. Piperine is one of the most widely studied dietary co-factors for the bioavailability of compounds taken alongside it.

Included as a formulation co-factor. This is descriptive context, not a health claim.

  • 5mg per serving, standardised to 95% piperine
  • A named branded extract, not generic black pepper
  • Commonly paired with fat-soluble actives
  • Third-party tested alongside the other actives

Methodology: spec-sheet analysis of UK-available choline and nootropic products, 2026. Claim threshold per retained Regulation (EU) 432/2012: 82.5mg choline per serving (15% of the 550mg reference intake).
How to take

The protocol.
Simple and consistent.

1
Take 2 capsules daily
With water, preferably with food. Do not exceed the stated recommended daily dose.
2
Any time of day — nothing to cycle
There are no stimulants in the formula. No caffeine crash, no cycling off. Consistency matters more than timing.
3
Check with your doctor if relevant
If pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication (in particular anticholinergic or cholinergic medication, levodopa or thyroid medication) or with a medical condition, consult your doctor before use.

Frequently asked questions.

What is CDP Choline (Citicoline)?

+

CDP Choline, also called citicoline, is a naturally occurring nucleotide found in every cell. It is an intermediate in the Kennedy pathway — the route by which the body makes phosphatidylcholine, a major structural phospholipid of cell membranes. It supplies both choline and cytidine. This is a factual description; the product is a food supplement, not a medicine.

What is in each serving?

+

Each 2-capsule serving provides CDP Choline (Citicoline) 500mg, Acetyl-L-Carnitine 250mg, Alpha-GPC 150mg, Phosphatidylserine 100mg and BioPerine® black pepper extract 5mg at 95% piperine — 1005mg in total. Every dose is printed in full. There is no proprietary blend.

Can you make health claims about choline?

+

Yes — three of them. Choline has three authorised health claims under retained Regulation (EU) 432/2012: choline contributes to normal lipid metabolism, to the maintenance of normal liver function, and to normal homocysteine metabolism. These may be used where a food provides at least 82.5mg of choline per serving. This product supplies approximately 152mg per serving from citicoline and Alpha-GPC combined. No authorised health claim exists for cognitive function in relation to these ingredients, so we make none.

Why two choline sources instead of one?

+

Citicoline and Alpha-GPC are different molecules with different choline content by weight — citicoline is roughly 18% choline and also supplies cytidine; Alpha-GPC is roughly 40% choline. This formula includes both rather than choosing between them, which is also how it reaches the choline threshold for the authorised claims.

How and when should I take it?

+

As a food supplement, adults take 2 capsules daily with water, preferably with food. Do not exceed the stated recommended daily dose. There are no stimulants, so there is nothing to cycle and no fixed time of day required — consistency matters more than timing.

Is it vegan? What is in the capsule?

+

Yes. The capsule shell is vegetable cellulose — the only ingredient besides the five actives. The phosphatidylserine is sunflower-derived, not soy-derived. Free from gluten, dairy, soy, nuts and GMOs.

Does it contain caffeine or stimulants?

+

No. CDP Choline Complex is completely stimulant-free. No caffeine, no other stimulant. It can be taken at any time of day and does not need to be cycled.

Are there any cautions or interactions?

+

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking any medication or have a medical condition — in particular anticholinergic or cholinergic medication, levodopa or thyroid medication — consult your doctor before use. Discontinue use and consult a doctor if adverse reactions occur. Food supplements must not replace a varied, balanced diet.

What does third-party tested mean here?

+

An independent ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory tests every finished-product batch before release — identity and potency of all five actives, heavy metals, microbial safety and allergens. A Certificate of Analysis is available on request; email us with the batch number printed on your pouch.

What is your returns and guarantee policy?

+

A 60-day satisfaction guarantee. Email us within 60 days of delivery for a full refund — no return required, no restocking fee. Your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 apply in addition and are unaffected.
