Glycerophosphocholine (GPC)

GPC is a natural choline compound, derived from phosphatidylcholine, necessary for healthy cell function. It is also a nutrient for all cells in the human body. Scientific research has associated GPC with tissue growth and renewal, mental focus and recall and recovery from stroke or circulatory injury.

Study* Links LIPOID (Formerly ALCOLEC®) GPC and Improved Post-Op Brain Function

American Lecithin sponsored a 2010 study that evaluated LIPOID (Formerly (ALCOLEC®) GPC efficacy in protecting cognitive brain function after heart surgery. LIPOID (Formerly ALCOLEC®) GPC has been explored as a protective nutrient in a patient pool of 20 people who received the surgery under general anesthesia.

LIPOID (Formerly ALCOLEC®) GPC (1200mg) was administered in soft gelatin capsules twice a day for 14 days (one week prior to, and a week after, surgery). Post-operative cognitive function was assessed using the psychometric mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and Benton visual retention test (BVRT). After administration for just two weeks, this initial study concluded that α-GPC may help lower risk of postoperative cognitive dysfunction.
