Product overview

Alpha-GPC (L-α-Glycerophosphorylcholine) is a natural choline compound found in the brain. It is found in foods such as eggs, chicken, turkey, fish, almonds, and more. It acts as a precursor to acetylcholine and glycerophosphate. As a supplement, it acts as an essential nutrient for the brain and can lead to reduced risk of neural tube defects and fatty liver disease, improved pancreas function, as well as enhanced bodily control, muscle output, growth hormone production, and cognitive function.

Learn more about Alpha-GPC

What is Alpha-GPC?

L-α-Glycerophosphorylcholine (alpha-GPC, choline alfoscerate, sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) is a natural choline compound found in the brain.

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. The FDA determined that intake of no more than 196.2 mg/person/day is considered generally recognized as safe (GRAS).

There are foods that are high in alpha-GPC, and eating these foods is a great way to easily intake a higher amount of alpha-GPC. Foods like eggs, chicken, turkey, fish, soybeans, almonds, and quinoa are not only good for you but provide an abundant amount of choline!

How does Alpha-GPC work?

Alpha-GPC (L-alpha-glycerophosphocholine, choline alfoscerate) is a water-soluble nutrient that naturally occurs in the body as a precursor to acetylcholine and glycerophosphate. Choline is one of the key neurotransmitters in the brain's neural network, considered to be an essential nutrient as its role in reducing the risk of neural tube defects, fatty liver disease, and other pathologies has been well-documented. As a supplement, this compound rapidly crosses the blood-brain barrier and helps promote the synthesis of acetylcholine. In addition, Alpha-GPC encourages the development of cell membranes in the cerebral cortex, or "gray matter," for improved mental processing.

Studies show that Alpha-GPC may enhance bodily control, enhance muscle output and endurance, and increase growth hormone production. It may also improve pancreas health.

In the area of cognition, reported effects include wakefulness, dream potentiation, focus enhancement, mindfulness, memory enhancement, learning enhancement, and motivation enhancement.

Alpha-GPC may have potential in treatment of Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and other related disorders.

Alpha-GPC should not be used with Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (also known as MAOIs), used to treat depression and other mental problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Alpha-GPC?

Alpha-GPC (Alpha-Glycerylphosphorylcholine) is a naturally occurring compound that serves as a precursor to acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter vital for memory, learning, and muscle control. It is widely used to support cognitive health, focus, and physical performance.

What does Alpha-GPC do?

Alpha-GPC supports:

  • Cognitive Function: By increasing acetylcholine levels, it enhances memory, learning, and focus.
  • Physical Performance: It promotes growth hormone secretion and supports muscle recovery, making it popular among athletes.
  • Brain Health: Alpha-GPC improves communication between brain cells and helps protect against age-related cognitive decline.
How does Alpha-GPC work?

Alpha-GPC works by crossing the blood-brain barrier and increasing the availability of choline in the brain. This choline is used to produce acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that plays a critical role in memory, learning, and muscle function. Additionally, it supports cell membrane repair and overall brain health.

Is Alpha-GPC safe?

Yes, Alpha-GPC is generally considered safe when taken within the recommended dosage. Clinical studies have shown it to be well-tolerated, with mild side effects (e.g., headaches or digestive discomfort) occurring rarely. However, individuals with specific health conditions or those taking medications should consult their healthcare provider before use.

Is Alpha-GPC natural?

Yes, Alpha-GPC is a natural compound. It is found in small amounts in certain foods and is a component of cell membranes in the human body. The Alpha-GPC in supplements is typically derived through a purification process to ensure high potency and bioavailability.

How much Alpha-GPC should I take?

The recommended daily dose of Alpha-GPC is 300–600 mg, depending on your individual needs and health goals. Athletes or those using it for cognitive enhancement may require higher doses, often up to 1,200 mg per day, divided into multiple doses. Hansen Supplements includes a free measuring spoon for precise dosing. For even greater accuracy, consider using our precision scale, available here.

How long does Alpha-GPC last?

The effects of Alpha-GPC typically last for 4 to 6 hours, depending on the dose and individual metabolism. For sustained benefits, some users divide their daily dose into two or three smaller doses throughout the day.

Is it okay to take Alpha-GPC every day?

Yes, taking Alpha-GPC daily is generally considered safe when adhering to recommended dosages. Clinical studies have administered doses up to 1,200 mg per day for extended periods without significant adverse effects. Reported side effects are typically mild and may include heartburn, headache, insomnia, dizziness, or skin rash.

Does Alpha-GPC break a fast?

Alpha-GPC is unlikely to break a fast because it contains minimal calories. However, as it may trigger some metabolic processes, such as increased acetylcholine production, it could potentially have a small impact on fasting benefits. If fasting for autophagy or ketosis, consult a healthcare provider to ensure Alpha-GPC aligns with your fasting goals.
