Alpha GPC is a natural choline compound that plays a key role in supporting brain function. Although choline is an essential nutrient, many people do not get enough of it. Low levels of choline in the body can affect liver function, brain function, muscle contraction, nervous system function, and metabolism.
You may be at risk for choline deficiency if you are:
- Athlete;
- Postmenopausal woman;
- Pregnant;
- A person who consumes large amounts of alcohol.
Alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine (alpha-GPC), sometimes called alpha-glycerophosphocholine, is a compound containing choline. Alpha GPC is considered a type of nootropic, which is a group of substances that can improve cognitive function and mental performance. It is found in some foods, supplements, or is produced naturally in the body.
Alpha-GPC supplementation increases the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and facilitates cognitive function and memory. In athletes, Alpha-GPC supplementation increases endurance and growth hormone secretion.
Alpha GPC can cross the blood-brain barrier, so it helps deliver choline directly to brain cells. The blood-brain barrier is a protective zone of cells that prevents most substances from reaching the brain to protect it from pathogens and toxins. Some compounds can pass through this filter to reach brain cells.
It is believed that taking alpha GPC can increase levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the brain. Acetylcholine is involved in muscle contraction, blood vessel health, maintaining a normal heart rate, and a number of other functions.
Health benefits of taking Alpha GPC:
- May enhance memory and cognitive activity;
- It can improve blood flow to the brain;
- It can improve thinking skills and learning abilities;
- It can improve muscle contraction and athletic performance;
- Regulates heart rate and arterial blood pressure;
- It can improve blood flow to vital organs.
Alpha GPC may be beneficial for:
- Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia – some research suggests that alpha GPC may improve cognitive function, slow the progression of cognitive decline, and improve symptoms associated with Alzheimer's disease.
- Stroke recovery – alpha GPC may help reduce cell damage after a stroke.
- Epilepsy – Alpha GPC reduces neuronal death and maintains the blood-brain barrier in good structural condition. Researchers believe that the supplement may help improve cognitive function in people with epilepsy.
