α-Glycerophosphocholine (Alpha-GPC) Products
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
1. Product Overview
α-Glycerophosphocholine (Alpha-GPC), a naturally occurring choline compound in the human brain and nervous system, is hailed as "Brain Gold." It supports neurotransmitter synthesis, neuronal repair, and cognitive function through its high bioavailability of choline, while also enhancing athletic performance and providing neuroprotection. With rising global concerns about cognitive decline due to high-stress lifestyles, aging, or mental exhaustion, Alpha-GPC has emerged as a scientifically validated solution for brain health and physical optimization.

Core Composition and Mechanism of Action
1. Chemical Properties
• Structure: Alpha-GPC combines a glycerophosphate backbone with choline, enabling efficient blood-brain barrier penetration (Zimmermann et al., 2011).
• Sources:
— Natural extraction: Non-GMO soy lecithin or egg yolk.
— Synthetic production: Pharmaceutical-grade synthesis (≥99% purity).
• Bioavailability: 3–5× higher absorption than standard choline sources like phosphatidylcholine (Kidd, 2002).Extraction:
2. Mechanisms
• Acetylcholine Synthesis
As a direct choline donor, Alpha-GPC facilitates acetylcholine production, critical for memory and learning (Parnetti et al., 2007).
• Neuronal Membrane Repair
Acts as a phospholipid precursor to stabilize cell membranes and reduce age-related brain atrophy (Suchy et al., 2020).
• Growth Hormone (GH) Stimulation

3. Efficacy and Clinical Evidence
1. Cognitive Enhancement
• Memory Improvement: 1,200 mg/day for 6 months improved memory scores by 29% in mild cognitive impairment patients (Barbagallo et al., 2015).
• Attention Boost: 300 mg/day for 4 weeks extended focus duration by 20% in students (Pavlovic et al., 2021).
2. Athletic Performance
• Strength Gains: 600 mg pre-workout increased squat max by 14% (Hoffman et al., 2020).
• Recovery Acceleration: Reduced post-exercise lactate and muscle soreness by 30% (Bellar et al., 2019).
3. Neuroprotection
• Stroke Recovery: Enhanced motor and speech rehabilitation in clinical trials (Babb et al., 2019).
• Antioxidant Effects: Mitigated neuronal oxidative stress (Blusztajn et al., 2017).
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
4. Target Users
• Cognitive Demands: Students, professionals, creatives.
• Aging Population: Alzheimer’s prevention (≥45 years).
• Athletes: Muscle growth, endurance, and recovery.
• Neurological Rehabilitation: Stroke patients (under medical supervision).
