Supports Memory And Cognitive Health*

Our Price: $41.90

Alpha-GPC is an important neurotransmitter and phospholipid precursor providing support for age-related decline in cognitive function, memory, and cerebrovascular health. Unlike most membrane phospholipids, it is water-soluble, lacking the hydrophobic tail groups.*

Alpha-GPC passes through the blood-brain barrier, providing a source of choline for acetylcholine and phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis. By supporting cell membrane fluidity and integrity, phosphatidylcholine enhances healthy neurotransmitter function and signal transduction. Alpha-GPC may support healthy phospholipid turnover in the brain, thereby helping counteract age-related cellular breakdown of membrane phospholipids. Acetylcholine is a key neurotransmitter in the brain that supports memory and learning. Optimal phospholipid and acetylcholine levels support cognitive, mental and cerebrovascular health.*

Alpha-GPC also has the ability to potentiate growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH), thereby supporting healthy growth hormone (GH) levels. The mechanism of support appears to involve increased cholinergic tone.*

Alpha-GPC is derived from highly purified soy lecithin. Vitamin C (ascorbyl palmitate) is derived from corn dextrose fermentation. Hypo-allergenic plant fiber is derived from pine cellulose. There is no detectable GMO material in this product.
