What Is Alpha GPC?
L-Alpha glyceryl phosphoryl choline, commonly known for Alpha GPC, is a natural choline compound found in our brain. When we consume soy and other plants, our body breaks down a fatty acid from them and releases the chemical. Studies have shown that Alpha GPC plays an important role for treating Alzheimer’ disease, stroke, and other dementias.
Alpha GPC delivers choline to the brain rapidly through blood-brain barrier and is a biosynthetic precursor of acetylcholine which is an important brain chemical that helps memory and learning enhancement.
In most countries, Alpha GPC is a non-prescription drug. In Europe, it is a prescription medicine in two forms: one is taken by mouth and the other is given as a shot for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. In the United States, Alpha GPC is classified by FDA as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) and mostly available as a dietary supplement.
