Alpha GPC 300 mg, 60 capsules

Alpha GPC 300 mg – natural boost for memory, focus, and recovery

Strengthen your mind with Alpha GPC. It is a dietary supplement that provides L-alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine, a key ingredient to support cognitive function and brain health. 

Why it's worth it.

• highly bioavailable form of choline

• neuronodulator - improves cognitive function and memory, increases focus 

• especially useful for athletes - improves coordination and motor control 

• increases secretion of growth hormone 

• has potential for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases 

• works very well in combination with Huperzine

1. Alpha GPC is used to improve memory, learning, and thinking skills. It does this by increasing acetylcholine in the brain, a chemical that plays an important role in memory and learning functions. Researchers indicate that Alpha GPC improves memory in patients with Alzheimer's and dementia. (source)

2. Improves focus and facilitates learning. There are many studies supporting the benefits of alpha GPC for people with cognitive impairments, but what about its effectiveness in people who do not suffer from dementia? Studies show that Alpha GPC can improve concentration, memory and learning in young, healthy adults as well. (source)

And a study published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition found that alpha GPC supplementation was beneficial for certain physical and mental performance tasks when used by young adults. Serial subtraction test results were 18 percent faster in those receiving 400 milligrams of a-GPC compared to those receiving 200 milligrams of caffeine. In addition, the caffeine group had significantly higher tremor scores compared to the alpha GPC group. (source)

3. Improves athletic performance. Studies confirm the ergogenic properties of Alfa GPC. For this reason, athletes are increasingly interested in a-GPC for its potential ability to improve endurance, power output, and muscle strength. It is known that a-GPC supplementation helps to improve physical strength, promotes the building of lean muscle mass and shortens recovery time after training. There have been a number of studies evaluating the effectiveness of alpha GPC on physical endurance and power. A randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover study conducted in 2008 with seven men experienced in resistance training indicates that a-GPC does indeed affect growth hormone levels (600mg dose). The researchers found that, compared to baseline, peak growth hormone levels increased 44-fold after using alpha GPC, compared to 2.6-fold after using a placebo. Using A-GPC also increased physical strength, with peak bench press strength being 14 percent greater compared to placebo. (source)

Choline is partially processed in the liver, and people with liver dysfunction will not be able to absorb it from food (beef liver, salmon, chickpeas, eggs and chicken breast) and two, it is poorly bioavailable anyway. Alpha GPC is known for its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier when ingested, helping the body convert choline into the very important neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
