Brief Introduction

Alpha-GPC (Alpha-glycerophosphocholine or sometimes just glycerophosphocholine) is a choline-containing supplement that, although found in a variety of food products that are also rich in choline, appears to be pharmacologically active at higher doses.

Alpha-GPC is mostly marketed due to it conferring dietary choline to the body following oral ingestion, and being the most efficient choline prodrug at doing so (able to influence both systemic and brain concentrations of choline). Due to the provision of the other half of the alpha-GPC molecule (glycerophosphate), alpha-GPC also appears to support the structure of cellular membranes, which is not a common mechanism attributed to choline prodrugs (only CDP-choline is associated with lipid membranes in this sense).

Oral supplementation of alpha-GPC is of interest for nootropic purposes, as it appears to have cognitive-enhancing properties (no human evidence exists to support this in otherwise-healthy youth, but it does have support in rodents) and attenuate the rate of cognitive decline in the elderly. In regards to reducing the rate of cognitive decline, alpha-GPC at high doses (1,200 mg) does appear to be somewhat effective in mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease and works nicely with the standard therapy (acetylcholinesterase inhibitors).

Athletes are at times interested in alpha-GPC due to its ability to enhance growth hormone production (of which only acute spikes have been reported so far, so it may fall to the same problems that arginine has on growth hormone) and to enhance power output, which has a lone pilot study in support of 600 mg alpha-GPC prior to exercise. Although ergogenic properties of alpha-GPC cannot be ruled out and look promising, it requires more evidence.

Main Functions

Many benefits may be reaped from taking Alpha GPC regularly.  Here is a list of the different Alpha GPC benefits:

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.

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.

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.

Increased strength and rapid post-exertion recovery: Because it stimulates the production of human growth hormone, 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%.

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 production of human growth hormone, which has energizing, anti-aging, and longevity effects.

Choline source in nootropic stacks: Alpha GPC is a preferred choline source for many nootropic users, who find its rapid and reliable action a perfect pairing with racetam supplements. In combination with other nootropics, it provides ample choline to achieve optimal cognitive enhancement effects and can prevent the minor headaches sometimes reported as racetam side effects.
