CENTR launched the product, its first outside the CBD category, in response to overwhelming consumer demand for nootropics shown to support brain health, like Cognizin®. Cognizin® is Kyowa Hakko's branded form of citicoline, a clinically proven brain health nutrient and nootropic that has been shown to support comprehensive brain health.* It is currently available in more than 200 products on the market globally.
"Our number one goal is to get Cognizin® into the hands of more consumers, and that's why we're so excited about this partnership," said Karen Todd, MBA, RD, Vice President Global Brand Marketing, Kyowa Hakko USA, Inc. "We've put in the work through numerous rigorous human trials to affirm that Cognizin® does what we say it does, and we are so proud that CENTR Brands recognizes this clinical proof."
CENTR Enhanced will initially be available through the Company's DTC e-commerce channel at www.drinkcentr.com while we build distribution within both our existing account footprint and on-board new distributor relationships within independent grocers, health food stores, juice bars and cafes.
