What is Alpha-GPC

Alpha-GPC also called L-α-Glycerophosphorylcholine is a natural compound of choline that occurs in the brain. It is also an acetylcholine precursor with parasympathomimetic properties, which is being investigated for its potential use in the treatment of brain disorders

Synonyms for Alpha GPC

• Alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine
• L-alpha-glycerophosphocholin
• glycerophosphocholine
• L-alpha-glyceryl-phosphorylcholine
• Choline Alphoscerate

 

This Alpha-GPC supplement works differently than Choline, DMAE or CDP-choline

• Alpha GPC supplement is a highly effective source of choline, which is rapidly converted to acetylcholine in the brain. This makes it a popular choice for cognitive enhancement and neurological support.
• CDP-choline (Citicoline) provides both choline and cytidine. It supports brain function in a broader way, with neuroprotective properties, and works slower and more versatile than Alpha-GPC.
• Choline is an essential nutrient required for several bodily functions, including the production of acetylcholine. It is found in food, but is less directly associated with rapid cognitive effects as Alpha-GPC.
• DMAE similar in structure to choline, but less effective at increasing acetylcholine. It is sometimes used for mood enhancement or skin care, but works by a different mechanism than Alpha-GPC.
