L-Alpha Glycerylphosphorylcholine (Alpha GPC, choline alfoscerate) 28319-77-9 is a natural choline compound found in the brain and in milk. It is also a parasympathomimetic acetylcholine precursor which may have potential for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and is used as a nootropic dietary supplement to enhance memory and cognition.

Function:

1). Help brain recovery following injury, coma, and surgery
2). Improve memory and cognitive performance in patients with Alzheimer's dementia
3). Improve memory and learning ability
4). Counteract brain aging in rats by increasing cholinergic receptor sites, restoring the bioavailability of acetylcholine, increasing nerve growth factor receptors in the brain, and slowing down undesirable structural changes in the brain
5). Counter the age-related loss of nerve cells and fibers in the brain
6). Protect the brain and other organs against toxic waste buildup
7). Increase growth hormon secretion in both the young and the old
8). Support patients recovering from cerebral ischemic attacks
9). Increase the release of dopamine, the neurotransmitter that plays a major role in Parkinson's disease
