Overview

NOW Alpha-GPC provides 300mg of alpha-glycerophosphocholine, the most bioavailable form of choline that readily crosses the blood-brain barrier. Alpha-GPC is a direct precursor to acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter essential for memory, learning, and muscle contraction. Research supports alpha-GPC for cognitive enhancement, memory support, and even growth hormone secretion. It's the preferred choline source in nootropic stacks.
