Product Description
Product Description
Pure Nootropics’ Optimal Choline Complex combines CDP Choline and Alpha GPC to achieve superior results. Both CDP Choline and Alpha GPC are essential nutrients which are precursors to acetylcholine. 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.
Additionally, our Optimal Choline Complex facilitates increases in strength outputs, making it one of the best all round performance supplements you can take.
Optimal Choline Complex Properties
CDP Choline (also known as citicoline) is an essential nutrient and precursor to creating the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (1).
Alpha GPC Choline, is also a cholinergic compound found in the brain and a precursor to creating acetylcholine, functioning similarly to CDP Choline in acetylcholine synthesis.
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 (2).
Optimal Choline Complex Dosage
Pure Nootropics’ Optimal Choline Complex capsules provide 200 mg of Citicoline and 100 mg of Alpha GPC. Suggested use of Optimal Choline Complex capsules for adults is 1 capsule by mouth up to two times per day, with or without food, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.

Without a doubt, boosting acetylcholine levels is the first step when beginning a nootropics stack or regimen. This is a great product and I highly recommend seeing the benefits it can provide for yourself. This being a blend of two of the more/most bioavailable forms, this is a good choline supplement to start on.
I would like to see more options on blend ratios, but offering both in one supplement is a highly effective format.
Christopher (verified owner) –
Pure Nootropics’ Optimal Choline Complex is a product I’ve been searching for for quite some time at various nootropic retail Websites. It’ priced well for the highly effecttlve balance of Choline types supplied nicely in a bottle of (green) capsules. Again, amazing product and works extremely well, and synergistically when taken with the racetams. Another top rate product from Pure Nootropics. This type of choli e, as opposed to Choline Bitartrate, especially is great. I’ve just ordered more, in fact, for the fourth time in a row.
Tom Twist –
It is amazing how it works.. Its awesome.
Myles (verified owner) –
I had started getting headaches after using the various racetam supplements (Py/Oxi/phenyl). My prefered use of the racetam’s is just taking one in the morning before a large day of studying with a good nights sleep. As far as this product is concerned, I’ve found that a 1:2 racetam to choline ratio has abolished my headaches. To my knowledge its well priced and I believe is a must buy if you are considering using racetam’s long term.

Imagine having CDP Choline and Alpha GPC both in one. Take it and combine it with any type of other stacks and you have your daily doses of Choline. Best combination is to combine it with Modalert.

Some mornings I neglect to reach for my Op.Choline Complex – within the hour I notice my usual sharp clarity diminishing – oh, oh. Optimal Choline Complex is quite the fix for increased clarity!
James –
Good stuff, works really well for me.
William Adams –
good supplement. good service.

I bought this along with the Fasoracetam, so I’ll be copy/pasting the review since I’ve been using them together since it wouldn’t make sense to leave a different review.
Anyways, I’ve been really enjoying the focus, I am usually a scatter brain and it’s hard for me to focus on my writing and reading and this has been incredible for keeping me focused. I’ve not been using it for too long, so it may be in-part placebo affect, but after about 15mins to an hour after consumption, I notice a really strong sense of clarity and focus, and I feel great.
