Cognitive Function: Citicoline has been studied for its potential role in supporting cognitive function and brain health. Some research suggests that citicoline supplementation may improve memory, attention, and other cognitive functions, particularly in older adults and individuals with cognitive impairment or neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
Stroke Recovery: Citicoline has been investigated for its potential neuroprotective effects and its ability to enhance recovery following ischemic stroke, a type of stroke caused by a blockage in a blood vessel supplying the brain. Studies have shown that citicoline supplementation may improve neurological outcomes and functional recovery in stroke patients when used as part of their treatment regimen.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Citicoline has also been studied for its potential benefits in individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Research suggests that citicoline supplementation may help reduce neurological deficits and improve cognitive function in patients recovering from TBI by supporting the repair and regeneration of damaged brain tissue.
Glaucoma: Some studies have investigated the use of citicoline eye drops for the treatment of glaucoma, a condition characterized by increased pressure within the eye that can lead to vision loss. Citicoline eye drops have been shown to have neuroprotective effects on retinal ganglion cells, which are damaged in glaucoma, and may help preserve vision and slow the progression of the disease.
Addiction Treatment: Citicoline has been explored as a potential adjunctive treatment for substance use disorders, including addiction to drugs such as cocaine, methamphetamine, and nicotine. Preliminary research suggests that citicoline supplementation may help reduce cravings, improve mood, and support recovery from addiction by modulating neurotransmitter systems involved in reward processing and addiction-related behaviors.
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Some evidence suggests that citicoline supplementation may have beneficial effects on attention and behavior in children and adolescents with ADHD. Citicoline's role in supporting neurotransmitter function and brain metabolism may contribute to its potential therapeutic effects in ADHD.
We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.
A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.
We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive β X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.
Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
