The Combination of Citicoline and Omega-3 on Attention in Healthy Subjects

The goal of this study is to determine the effects of Citicoline plus Omega-3 or Omega-3
alone versus placebo on attention in non-demented healthy older adults.

This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The investigators
hypothesize that supplementation of Citicoline plus Omega-3 will improve attention in healthy
adults age 55 years and older, compared to placebo. The study is designed as 3-arm, parallel
group study comparing placebo, Omega-3 only, and Citicoline plus Omega-3.
