Alpha-GPC is also used as a nootropic dietary supplement to enhance memory and cognition. In Europe alpha-GPC is a prescription medication for the treatment of Alzheimer s disease. It is available in two forms; one is taken by mouth, and the other is givens a shot. In the United States alpha-GPC is only available as a dietary supplement, mostly in products promoted to improve
memory.Other uses for alpha-GPC include treatment of various kinds of dementia, stroke, and “mini stroke” (transient ischemicattack, TIA). Alpha-GPC is also used for improving memory, thinking skills, and learning.
1. Increases human Growth Hormone (hGH) Increases in endogenous human Growth Hormone (hGH) secretion by the anterior pituitary in conjunction with Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH); that is, both Alpha-GPC and GHRH act concertedly to stimulate the release of hGH, naturally;
2. More strength from work-outs and training programs Acts as a precursor of acetylcholine (ACh); thus, Alpha-GPC activates cholinergic transmission which permits the development of more strength from work-outs and training programs, plus reducing levels of somatostatin in the hypothalamic-pituitary axis;
3. Improved lipotrophic functions in the liver Elevations in blood and tissue levels of the essential nutrient, choline, which supports improved lipotrophic functions (methyl group transferases) in the liver. Research has shown that fatty liver, a condition associated with obesity, diabetes and heavy alcohol consumption, often leads to cirrhosis of the liver or liver failure. Studies conducted by Alan L. Buchman, M.D., associate professor of medicine at The Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University, have shown that fatty liver can be prevented and possibly even eliminated with increased levels of choline. Alpha-GPC also acts synergistically with the body's store (and/or supplementation) of S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM or SAMe) and folic acid, vitamin B12 and vitamin B6 to facilitate methyl group transfers in the brain and liver;
4. Improved balanced and coordination Produces improved balanced and coordination when combined with 'skill set' practice and training as a result of normalized nerve transmission in the brain, and in cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscles.
1.Alpha GPC Help brain recovery following injury, coma, and surgery.
2.Alpha GPC Improve memory and cognitive performance in patients with Alzheimer's dementia.
3.Alpha GPC Improve memory and learning ability.
4.Alpha GPC Counteract brain aging by increasing cholinergic receptor sites, restoring the bioavailability of acetylcholine,increasing nerve growth factor receptors in the brain,and slowing down undesirable structural changes in the brain.
5.Alpha GPC Counter the age-related loss of nerve cells and fibers in the brain.
6.Alpha GPC Protect the brain and other organs against toxic waste buildup.
7.Alpha GPC Support patients recovering from cerebral ischemic attacks.
8.Alpha GPC Increase the release of dopamine, the neurotransmitter that plays a major role in
Parkinson's disease.
