L-Alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine (alpha-GPC, choline alfoscerate) is a natural choline compound found in the brain. It is also a parasympathomimetic acetylcholine precursor which may have potential for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. Alpha-GPC rapidly delivers choline to the brain across the blood-brain barrier and is a biosynthetic precursor of acetylcholine.It is a non-prescription drug in most countries and in the United States it is classified as generally recognized as safe (GRAS).

Function:

Alpha GPC stands for Alpha-glycerophosphocholine- a mouthful of a name that should tell you that it has something to do with choline. In fact, Alpha GPC is a choline compound found naturally in trace amounts in the body. Now choline is an essential nutrient that is needed by the body for normal functioning and overall good health. Among other things, choline is essential for mental and physical performance.
