Alpha GPC – Cognitive decline is an issue many face with advancing age. In fact, many people, as early as in their late 30s, start to detect short-term memory loss. The brain relies on certain compounds to maintain neuronal function and structure.
L-alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine (GPC) readily converts to acetylcholine in the brain. GPC also helps maintain neuronal structural integrity. Found in the brain and peripheral nervous system, acetylcholine is a messenger molecule that plays an important role in memory, learning, and attention.
The most commonly used memory-enhancing nutrients are precursors to the neurotransmitter “acetylcholine.” Short-term memory function depends on acetylcholine acting as a signal to transmit messages between brain cells. Common acetylcholine precursors are various forms of choline and lecithin. Because acetylcholine helps brain cells to communicate with each other, it plays an important role in learning and memory.
Clinical Research in humans and animals has demonstrated that GPC (l-alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine) helps support higher brain function, mental acuity, and the release of human growth hormone. GPC is a precursor to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and the membrane constituent phosphatidylcholine. Research suggest that it is more bioavailable than other forms of choline for the maintenance of learning and memory.
