Product Description:

Alpha GPC (sometimes called Choline Alfoscerate) is a highly concentrated version of soy lecithin that works as an effective Acetylcholine precursor. Alpha GPC is a cholinergic supplement that increases the availability of the nutrient choline in the brain. This leads to increased synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine which is implicated in memory, focus, reasoning and learning. It has received Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) status from the FDA and is available without a prescription in most countries.

Uses, benefits, Side Effects

1. Alpha-GPC increases a chemical called acetylcholine in the brain. This brain chemical is important for memory and learning.

2. Alpha-GPC is a prescription drug for treating Alzheimer's disease. It has two forms: one is oral, the other is injection. In the United States,Alpha-GPC is only used as a dietary supplement and is mainly used to improve memory. Other uses of Alpha GPC include the treatment of various dementia, stroke and "minor stroke" (transient ischemic attack, TIA). Alpha-GPC is also used to improve memory, thinking ability and learning ability.

3. Alpha-GPC is the biosynthetic precursor of acetylcholine neurotransmitter, which rapidly transports choline to the brain through the blood-brain barrier. Alpha-GPC is derived from highly purified soybean lecithin.

4. Alpha-GPC or GPC has been widely recorded in published research in two fields.The contribution of animals and humans to at least five (5) iconic human health functions.

Application

In the United States alpha-GPC is only available as a dietary supplement, mostly in products promoted to improve

memory.

Other uses for alpha-GPC include treatment of various kinds of dementia, stroke, and "mini stroke" (transient ischemic attack, TIA). Alpha-GPC is also used for improving memory, thinking skills, and learning.
