LIPOID GPC
Alpha-Glycerophosphocholine (a-GPC)

Alpha-GPC (L-alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine) is a naturally occurring, water-soluble source of choline — an essential nutrient that most U.S. adults consume below the Adequate Intake. Unlike phosphatidylcholine, alpha-GPC carries no fatty acid chains, so it resists oxidative degradation and contributes no lipid off-notes to finished formulations.

Research on alpha-GPC has examined its role as a precursor in acetylcholine synthesis and its use in cognitive and exercise-performance applications.

Nutrition manufacturers and wholesalers use ALC’s alpha-GPC grades in beverages, liquid formulations, softgels, and two-piece capsules. Concentrations range from 50% (carrier-loaded for handling and flow) to ≥99%.

Alpha-GPC, a source of choline and precursor to acetylcholine, may support cognitive function, including attention and memory

Alpha-GPC has been investigated for its potential role in supporting physical performance, such as muscular strength, in physically active individuals.
