What is Alpha GPC and How Can It Improve Cognitive Skills?
Alpha-GPC, which is also known under the name Alpha-glycerophosphocholine, is a naturally occurring choline source in small amounts in food, which, in the form of supplements, has some very interesting properties, both cognitive and physical Can significantly increase performance over numerous different pathways. For these reasons, Alpha-GPC is considered by many to be one of the most effective nootropics available in supplement form.
These effects are due to the fact that of all natural sources of choline with a content of 40% choline, Alpha-GPC has the highest choline concentration. The glycerol phosphate part of Alpha-GPC also appears to support the structure of the cell membrane, which sets Alpha-GPC apart from other sources of choline. Since Alpha-GPC can easily cross the blood-brain barrier, it is able to increase both the systemic choline concentration and the choline concentration in the brain.
Alpha-GPC serves as a precursor for the synthesis of acetylcholine and phospholipids in the brain. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that is required for smooth communication between nerve cells. Numerous studies carried out with Alpha-GPC, in the course of which an increase in acetylcholine levels in the brain and precisely these effects could be observed, show that this is not just pure theory, but that Alpha-GPC is indeed a highly effective nootropic.
However, acetylcholine is not the only neurotransmitter in the brain whose levels are increased by alpha GPC. Studies have shown that alpha GPC supplementation also results in a significant increase in dopamine and serotonin release - effects that could not be observed with supplementation with other sources of choline. One of the effects of increased dopamine and serotonin levels is a significant improvement in mood and wellbeing.
Alpha-GPC properties of interest to bodybuilders and strength athletes
Alpha-GPC is much more than “just” a highly effective nootropic - it also has some performance-enhancing properties that are very interesting for strength athletes and can help to improve body composition.
