Description

Product Description

Product Description

Alpha GPC is a cholinergic compound found in the brain and is a precursor to creating acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is one of the most important neurotransmitters in the brain that impacts memory, learning, attention and alertness.

Alpha GPC provides some additional advantages by increasing acetylcholine in the central nervous system and seems to be the more efficient choline precursor because of its bioavailability (1).

Properties

Alpha GPC Choline is a cholinergic compound found in the brain and a precursor to creating acetylcholine. Alpha GPC increases acetylcholine in the central nervous system and is an extremely efficient choline precursor because of its bioavailability (2).

Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter in the parts of the brain that impact memory and learning, attention, and alertness –making it one of the most beneficial neurotransmitter compounds for overall cognitive function and brain health (3). 

Supplementing with an acetylcholine precursor may promote an enhancing effect on these areas and support overall brain function.

The ability of Alpha GPC to enhance lower body muscle performance related to isometric exercise is also being studied (5).  Alpha GPC is often found in fitness supplements because of its ability to increase power.

  1. Sid (verified owner) –

    Have no complaints about this product so far. I switched over from CDP Choline to stack with my other nootropics and don’t notice too much of a difference but I generally don’t notice a significant difference in mood or my demeanor from choline. It has so far held off any headache side effects you may receive from time to time if you use other nootropics such as noopept or oxyracetam with no choline supplement to stack them with. I like this company for the variety of powders they have available. Since I use 4-5 different substances in my stack it’s nice to just mix into a drink rather than have to take that many capsules a day.

  2. Alpha_Australia (verified owner) –

    The tub of powder makes no mention of being 50%, and like my previous order the plastic seal had not prevented moisture from entering on the trip to Australia. The powder had congealed before use.

      Hello,

      We generally try to address these matters via our customer service e-mail, but didn’t get one. Ordinarily, we will simply replace your item when there is an issue (we suggest you contact us via e-mail if you have a problem with any of our products in the future).

      Although our tubs don’t explicitly say 50% on them, that is the only version of Alpha GPC we carry; Alpha GPC 99% is hygroscopic and we don’t carry it for this exact reason (it’s also a much more expensive product, so if we did carry it, we would need to charge more for it). Although it is possible that the 50% congealed in a high humidity environment, you are the only customer that has indicated this to be an issue. Also, storage of the product may be an issue as we see your comment was made in February, 2019 and we shipped the product to you in June, 2018. You can also see the certificate of analysis that accompanies our products which indicates Alpha GPC 50% in this instance.

  3. Gina T –

    I have been using these capsules for over a year and have found a marked improvement in overall cognition. It certainly has diminished my brain fog. I’ve been using this with the magnesium and fish oil products and feel that all three combined have made a difference in my sleep and mood as well.

  4. Louis D. (verified owner) –

    Quality! No Compromises! I can feel the difference!
    First time nootropic user here. I was concerned about getting quality materials & using this stuff correctly. After being recommended this brand from a friend, I was subsequently astonished by the results of this, alongside the results of Noopept from PureNootropics, these two are definitely amazing products. This isn’t even a paid review – it’s just that good of stuff.

  5. Robert P. (verified owner) –

    Tried alone, then with Noopept – no positive cognative effects, slight increase in fogginess. Not a fit

  6. Jeffrey R. (verified owner) –

    Seems to provide the desired effect in my stack.

  13. Caleb (verified owner) –

    Best source for choline, the only choline supp I will take! Gets rid of those annoying nootropic headaches that can happen

  14. J (verified owner) –

    Awesome with any racetams to keep headaches at bay.

  15. Laura (verified owner) –

    I started taking these because I was starting to have a lot of problems with my memory, and speech..they worked, not perfect but they help a lot.
    Now, I give these to my dad who has been diagnosed with early onset dementia, I saw a difference right away!
