Cognizin Featured in Brain Beverage

NEW YORKKyowa Hakko USAs patent-pending formulation Cognizin ® Citicoline is featured in a new supplement from Nawgan Products LLC. Nawgan Berry is a functional health liquid supplement that pre-blends Cognizin® with other ingredients to enhance cognitive function.

Created by Dr. Robert Paul, founder of Nawgan Products and a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist, the non-carbonated Nawgan supplement supports memory and cognitive skills in four ways. The lycopene in the beverage provides anti-inflammatory protection; natural vitamin E provides anti-oxidant health benefits; alpha-glyceryl phosphoryl choline and citicoline (Cognizin®) helps increase acetylcholine levels in the brain, which is critical for memory and cognitive skill. Cognizin® also helps provide structural support to brain cells.

Research conducted at Harvard Medical School showed Cognizin®, a branded citicoline ingredient, significantly increased brain metabolites among healthy adults (Silveri et al., 2008).  Numerous other studies reported citicoline benefits cognitive function using multiple pathways including increasing the precursors involved in the production of acetylcholine and providing phospholipid support to brain cells critical for healthy maintenance of neuronal structure

Nawgan is available in both a non-caffeinated and caffeinated version.  According to Dr. Paul, a caffeinated version is offered because scientific literature revealed important neuroprotective properties of caffeine. Nawgan is low in calories and sodium, and contains no artificial sweeteners, colors, flavors or preservatives. Lycopene, the carotenoid compound in the beverage formulation and the ingredient that makes a tomato red, is what provides the natural red Nawgan Berry color. Nawgan Products has selected aluminum packaging for its product because it provides protection for natural ingredients from both air and light.
