Alpha GPC - A Natural Source Of The Nutrient Choline

Alpha GPC - A Natural Source Of The Nutrient Choline

As a leading expert in Choline chemistry and industry, we have developed a unique pathway to Alpha GPC by total synthesis with high efficiency at industry scale since 2010. The purity of thus obtained product is above 98%, among the highest in the market. And product is available in both powder(50%, 99%) and liquid(85%).

What Is Alpha Gpc?

Alpha gpc is a chemical released when a fatty acid found in soy and other plants breaks down. It is used as medicine. 

In Europe alpha gpc is a prescription medication for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. It is available in two forms; one is taken by mouth, and the other is given as a shot. In the United States alpha gpc is only available as a dietary supplement, mostly in products promoted to improve memory. 

Other uses for alpha gpc include treatment of various kinds of dementia, stroke, and “mini-stroke” (transient ischemic attack, TIA). Alpha gpc is also used for improving memory, thinking skills, and learning.

Benefits of Alpha GPC

As mentioned, the primary benefit of alpha GPC is as a prodrug for choline, which is used by the brain for a chemical called acetylcholine. This leads to many downstream effects including a reduction in cognitive decline, which is seen in both the elderly and healthy adults alike. The scientific evidence showing improved cognition in adults is not conclusive, but this is due to a lack of knowledge and understanding rather than anything else. 

Elderly people who are aging often have cognitive decline that leads to dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and other memory loss. Alpha GPC has been repeatedly proven to prevent age related cognitive decline and add value to those who use the nootropic.

Another study (and much anecdotal evidence) suggests that alpha GPC can actually be an effective attention / focus enhancer as well. This single study does not lend complete credibility to the argument, but it is among the benefits of alpha GPC that many users tout online. 

Finally, there are studies regarding stimulation that show alpha GPC can improve power output and physical strength as well. One such study reported 14% power output improvement in users who took it 45 minutes before their activity.
