Alpha-GPC (L-α-Glycerophosphorylcholine) is a natural choline compound found in the brain. It is found in foods such as eggs, chicken, turkey, fish, almonds, and more. It acts as a precursor to acetylcholine and glycerophosphate. As a supplement, it acts as an essential nutrient for the brain and can lead to reduced risk of neural tube defects and fatty liver disease, improved pancreas function, as well as enhanced bodily control, muscle output, growth hormone production, and cognitive function.
This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet.
Dosing and Storage

Learn More About Alpha-GPC
What is Alpha-GPC?
L-α-Glycerophosphorylcholine (alpha-GPC, choline alfoscerate, sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) is a natural choline compound found in the brain.
Alpha-GPC rapidly delivers choline to the brain across the blood–brain barrier and is a biosynthetic precursor of acetylcholine. It is a non-prescription drug in most countries. The FDA determined that intake of no more than 196.2 mg/person/day is considered generally recognized as safe (GRAS).
There are foods that are high in alpha-GPC, and eating these foods is a great way to easily intake a higher amount of alpha-GPC. Foods like eggs, chicken, turkey, fish, soybeans, almonds, and quinoa are not only good for you but provide an abundant amount of choline!
How Does Alpha-GPC Work?
Alpha-GPC is a water-soluble nutrient that naturally occurs in the body as a precursor to acetylcholine and glycerophosphate. Choline is one of the key neurotransmitters in the brain’s neural network, considered to be an essential nutrient as its role in reducing the risk of neural tube defects, fatty liver disease, and other pathologies has been well-documented. As a supplement, this compound rapidly crosses the blood-brain barrier and helps promote the synthesis of acetylcholine. In addition, Alpha-GPC encourages the development of cell membranes in the cerebral cortex, or “gray matter,” for improved mental processing.
Studies show that Alpha-GPC may enhance bodily control, enhance muscle output and endurance, and increase growth hormone production. It may also improve pancreas health.
In the area of cognition, reported effects include wakefulness, dream potentiation, focus enhancement, mindfulness, memory enhancement, learning enhancement, and motivation enhancement.
Alpha-GPC may have potential in treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and other related disorders.
Note: Alpha-GPC should not be used with Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), used to treat depression and other mental problems.
