Alpha-GPC, provided by Douglas Laboratories®,
supplies 250 mg of glycerophosphocholine, a nutrient important for neurological
health, in each vegetarian capsule. Glycerophosphocholine (also, known as alpha-GPC,
and alpha-glycerophosphatidylcholine) is a water-soluble pro-phospholipid found
in high quantities in adult tissue and breast milk. While not a true
phospholipid, the body can convert it readily into phosphatidylcholine, the most
abundant phospholipid found in the body. Glycerophosphocholine also plays
important roles in the synthesis of acetylcholine and the attachment of
phosphatidylcholine to DHA (docosahexaenoic acid, an essential fatty acid).
Human studies indicate that glycerophosphocholine may play important roles in
maintaining neurological health.† In studies conducted on healthy, young adults,
glycerophosphocholine offered significant protection against medication-induced
memory loss and helped to enhance baseline mental performance. In middle-aged
and elderly adults, glycerophosphocholine supports memory and proper cognitive
function.† This compound has also shown superior benefit when compared to
citicholine and oxiracetam. Glycerophosphocholine also has the ability to
support growth hormone releasing hormone production, which in turn can promote
proper growth hormone levels. Alpha-GPC may be a useful dietary supplement for
individuals wishing to support healthy cognitive and mental functioning. Adults take 1-2 capsules daily or as directed by
physician. No adverse side effects reported. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct
light. Keep out of reach of children. Canal N, Franceschi M, Alberoni M, Castiglioni C, De Moliner
