About Alpha-GPC:

*l-Alpha-glycerophosphatidylcholine (GPC-choline, alpha-GPC) is a water-soluble phospholipid metabolite naturally occurring in the body. Alpha-GPC passes through the blood brain barrier providing a source of choline for acetylcholine and phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis. By supporting cell membrane fluidity and integrity, phosphatidylcholine enhances healthy neurotransmitter function and signal transduction.

Supplementation with alpha-GPC may maintain healthy phospholipid turnover in the brain, helping to counteract age-related cellular breakdown of membrane phospholipids. Acetylcholine is a key neurotransmitter in the brain supporting memory and learning. Optimal phospholipid and acetylcholine levels support cognitive, mental, and cerebrovascular health.

An open multi-center clinical trial involving 2044 subjects indicated that alpha-GPC supports cognitive health and has excellent tolerability. Multiple research studies suggest that alpha-GPC plays a role in enhancing mental function, neurological function, and memory. In a multi-center, randomized controlled study, 126 subjects supplemented with alpha-GPC demonstrated improved neuropsychological parameters in behavioral scales and tests.

Additionally, alpha-GPC has the ability to potentiate growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH), thereby supporting healthy growth hormone (GH) levels. The mechanism of support appears to involve increased cholinergic tone. Studies indicate that this effect is particularly pronounced in mature subjects.

Alpha-GPC is an important neurotransmitter and phospholipid precursor providing support for age-related decline in cognitive function, memory, cerebrovascular health, and growth hormone levels.
