Product Description

L-Alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine (alpha-GPC, choline alfoscerate) is a key brain cell membrane phospholipid and cholinergic precursor. AlphaGPC is an important neurotransmitter and phospholipid precursor providing support for age-related decline in cognitive function, memory, and cerebrovascular health. AlphaGPC is a source of choline for the synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, with a greater ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier than conventional choline sources. In Europe,alphaGPCit is prescribed to treat Alzheimer’s disease. In the United States,AlphaGPC is an over-the-counter nootropic dietary choline supplement, intended to improve memory and cognitive function, and as well as encourage muscle building.

Structural characteristics of GPC molecules

From the perspective of molecular structure, Alpha GPC is composed of choline,glycerin and phosphate. Choline accounts for 40% of each GPC molecule, while as for Choline only about 20%.

 

Alpha GPC is a highly polar molecule that could easily cross the blood-brain barrier, making it highly bioavailable.

Function of Alpha GPC

 

1) Improve memory and cognitive performance in patients with Alzheimer's dementia.

2) Alpha GPC improve memory and learning ability.

3) Help brain recovery following surgery, injury and coma.

4) Counter the age-related loss of nerve cells and fibers in the brain.

5) Protect the brain and other organs against toxic waste buildup.

6) Support patients recovering from cerebral ischemic attack.

7) Increase the release of dopamine, plays a major role in parkinson's disease.

8) Counteract brain aging by increasing cholinergic receptor sites, increasing nerve growth factor receptors in the brain, restoring the bioavailability of acetylcholine, slowing down undesirable structural changes in the brain.

What is side effects of Alpha GPC?

 

Alpha GPC is generally safe as a naturally occurring chemical. However, there are some side effects to be aware of.

Headaches and nausea are some of the most common side effects, but some people find that they can also experience nervousness, heartburn, irritability and diarrhea. These side effects are often a sign that you have too much choline in your body and should decrease your dose..

If you are taking a low dose and still experience a headaches, nausea or dizziness, you may be consuming choline too much of it in a natural diet.

Some reviews found that some people used Alpha GPC for vivid dreams, especially during at the evening filming. There are also difficulties falling or staying asleep if take it too chose to the time of go to bed.

 

 

What are the health benefits of Alpha-GPC?

There are numerous effects of Alpha-GPC that are supported by research in the science community, it boosts cognitive performance. the cognition improvement can be powerful, and it can help negate brain fog and fatigue.The primary effects and the potential as a powerful nootropic.

 

Improve memory and learning ability.
Increases the release of dopamine.
Supports athletic performance.
Raises levels of growth hormone.
