Citicoline (also known as CDP-choline) is not a primary treatment for fatty liver disease (such as NAFLD – non-alcoholic fatty liver disease), but it may have indirect supportive benefits due to its role in liver metabolism and fat regulation.
Here's what we know:
🔬 Mechanism of Action:
-
Citicoline provides choline, a nutrient that’s essential for liver function.
-
Choline helps in the export of fat from the liver by contributing to VLDL (very low-density lipoprotein) synthesis, which transports triglycerides out of the liver.
-
Choline deficiency is linked to liver fat accumulation (steatosis).
🧪 Research Evidence:
-
Animal studies have shown that citicoline may reduce liver fat and improve metabolic markers.
-
Human studies are limited, and citicoline is not yet a standard treatment for fatty liver.
-
A few studies suggest it could have neuroprotective and metabolic benefits, including improved insulin sensitivity and lipid metabolism, which are relevant to NAFLD.
✅ May Help:
-
If fatty liver is related to choline deficiency, citicoline or other choline supplements might help prevent or reduce liver fat accumulation.
-
It could be supportive alongside lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, weight loss).
❌ Does Not Replace:
-
Citicoline is not a substitute for main treatments like:
-
Weight loss
-
Low-carb or Mediterranean diet
-
Exercise
-
Controlling diabetes or cholesterol
-
🔍 Summary:
Citicoline might be beneficial as a supportive supplement in fatty liver disease, especially if there's a choline deficiency—but it’s not a primary or FDA-approved treatment. More human studies are needed.

He explains that we only have a “ feeling” of free will. It’s a bit like finding a huge bundle of currency notes ….but on taking them to the bank they are declared counterfeit. Our feeling of free will is “real “ but it is counterfeit.

The decision is made based on our genes and environmental conditioning (everything that happened in life up to now), which we have no control of. We have that feeling of being a chooser, because the mental activity, the reaction of the brain is to always claim whatever action happens naturally: choosing happens -> I'm the chooser, seeing happens -> I'm the seer, ..

Apart from 'Doing n Experiencing' there is a WITNESS aspect of us, our awareness is so caught up with the endless affairs 'Doing n Experiencing' DRAMA.
Soon we realize the WITNESS aspect of ourselves, which is changeless n Blissful! 
, 'Doing/Experiencing' becomes insignificant, the Drama of
'Time-Space-Causation' becomes insignificant.
