1,000 mg of Cognizin per serving in vegan capsules, so the patented form in one capsule instead of two. Note that this is double the 500 mg per day used in the healthy-adult trials; 1,000 mg appears mainly in single-dose laboratory studies and in supervised clinical populations, so choose it only if you specifically want the higher amount.
The 250 mg capsule is the smallest common size, which is what makes it useful for starting low or for building an exact daily total: one capsule is the low end of what healthy-adult trials have tested, and two reach the 500 mg per day used in the largest of them. 120 capsules per bottle.
500 mg per capsule with 120 capsules per bottle, the largest count at this dose among the options here, which is what drives the cost per serving down. A reasonable default if you already know 500 mg is the size you want.
500 mg per serving in vegan capsules, 100 per bottle. 500 mg is the most common citicoline capsule size, and it is also the daily dose used in the healthy-adult memory trials covered on this site, so one capsule matches what was actually studied.
Life Extension’s citicoline, 60 capsules per bottle. Worth considering if you would rather buy from a long-established supplement company than chase the lowest cost per capsule from an unfamiliar brand.
1,000 mg per serving, 120 capsules. Generic citicoline rather than branded Cognizin, and that is the trade-off in one line: a lower cost per serving, without the patented form those trials named. Note that 1,000 mg is double the 500 mg per day the healthy-adult trials tested.
