Alpha GPC Capsules

Alpha-GPC

Primary Function: Cognitive enhancement, neuroprotection, and acetylcholine support

Molecular Formula: C8H20NO6P
CAS Number: 28319-77-9
Synonyms: L-Alpha Glycerylphosphorylcholine, Choline Alfoscerate

Description:

Alpha-GPC (L-Alpha Glycerylphosphorylcholine) is a highly bioavailable choline donor known for its role in supporting acetylcholine synthesis, neuroplasticity, and cognitive function. It readily crosses the blood-brain barrier, making it a preferred research compound for investigating memory, learning, and age-related cognitive decline.

Research also indicates Alpha-GPC may enhance physical performance and growth hormone output, particularly in high-intensity training models. It is frequently studied in conjunction with other cholinergic agents for its synergistic impact on attention, reaction time, and neuroregeneration.

Mechanism of Action:

• Elevates central acetylcholine levels via choline donation
• Supports phospholipid metabolism and neuronal membrane repair
• Stimulates pituitary release of growth hormone (GH) in certain research settings
• Promotes cerebral blood flow and synaptic plasticity

Key Research Areas:

• Cognitive enhancement and memory recall
• Neurodegenerative disease models (e.g., Alzheimer’s)
• Post-stroke and traumatic brain injury recovery
• Sports performance and GH modulation
• Age-related neuroinflammation and oxidative stress reduction
