  • Cytidine-5′-diphosphocholine (citicoline)
  • Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)
  • Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)

The above vital substance recommendations (micronutrients) were created with the help of medical experts. All statements are supported by scientific publications with high levels of evidence. For a therapy recommendation, only clinical studies with the highest degrees of evidence (grade 1a/1b and 2a/2b) were used, which due to their high significance prove the therapy recommendation. These data are updated at certain intervals.
