About this study

Standard clinical measures for mood and neuropsychological measures of attention, cognitive inhibition and memory will be applied before, during, and after a course of a daily supplementation of citicoline, creatine and omega-3 for 28 days to non-psychiatric adult female participants. We hypothesis that the combination of supplements will improve memory and attention in healthy adult women.

Treatment and study plan

Citicoline, Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Creatine

Drug

Other names: CDP-Citicoline, Creatine monohydrate

Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT) That Measure Attention and Memory at 14 Days

    Time frame: Baseline and 14 days from baseline

    List B in the California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT) score range 1-16; the score is the number of words recalled so higher scores = better performance/more words recalled.

  2. Change From Baseline in WAIS-IV Block Design Subtest A That Measures Attention and Memory at 28 Days

    Time frame: Baseline and 28 days from baseline

    WAIS-IV Block Design Subtest A test of visuoconstructional ability is recognized as a test of visuospatial planning and function. It has been shown to be correlated with measures of general intellectual ability. The score range for this measure is 0-129. A score of 90-110 is average for a standard score. The higher the score the better the outcome.
