Applications:
What is L-Alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine?
L-Alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine (alpha-GPC, choline alfoscerate) is a natural choline compound found in the brain. It is also a parasympathomimetic acetylcholine precursor which may have potential for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.
Health Benefits of L-Alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine
1. Memory enhancement:
Alpha GPC is best known for its ability to improve memory. This effect is mainly due to the increased amount of choline it makes available for conversion to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is strongly associated with cognitive functions and the ability to form and recall memories. Studies show it is an effective treatment for memory loss caused by multiple age-related disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease and various forms of dementia. It has even proven to be effective at restoring memory in healthy young volunteers following temporary chemically-induced amnesia.
2. Energy booster:
Though it is best known for its memory and general cognitive enhancement effects, Alpha GPC may also act as a mild stimulant. Some users say it provides a lasting energy boost when taken before a workout.
3. Neuroprotectant:
Alpha GPC protects and supports overall brain health by encouraging the development of new brain cells and enhancing the body’s ability to repair damaged cell membranes. This property is a particularly important anti-aging benefit.
4. Increased strength and rapid post-exertion recovery:
Because it stimulates the human health, Alpha GPC is a valuable supplement for athletes or anyone who wants to perform better, build lean muscle mass, feel peak energy during a workout and recover quickly afterward. A pilot study indicated that a 600 mg dose of Alpha GPC taken 90 minutes before bench pressing increased power by 14%.
5. Mood and mental stamina:
Many users report that taking Alpha GPC gives them more mental energy and improves their mood. This may be explained, at least in part, by the additional choline the supplement provides, which increases alertness and enhances clarity of thought. It may also have to do with Alpha GPC’s ability to stimulate the human health, which has energizing, anti-aging, and longevity effects.
