Added 2019-07-03 12:44:55 +0000 UTCAlpha GPC is a nootropic substance renowned for its potential enhance cognitive functions and memory. Its full name is alpha-glycerophosphocholine, and it is a choline derivative. When taken orally, it effectively delivers choline to the brain, increasing acetylcholine levels (read more about acetylcholine), thus being highly beneficial for students, but also athletes.
Benefits of Alpha GPC in sports performance:
- improved mind-muscle connection/kinesthesia (the perception of body position, its movement, and muscular tensions)
- temporary increased GH (growth hormone) release up to 290% (it level decreases after 1 hour)
- increased muscle strength up to 3% when used regularly (the studies lasted 7 days)
- improved well-being and fatigue prevention
Benefits for students:
As acetylcholine is called a "learning neurotransmiter," Alpha GPC will be the perfect source for increasing this neurotransmitter. Alpha GPC improves:
- focus
- motivation
- mood
- memorization
Side Effects:
By regular doses, none of the following side effects should occur. However, if the dosage is too high, it may induce:
- dizziness
- headaches
- fatigue
- nausea
- nervousness
Dosages:
The dosage should not exceed 1500mg daily. It should be taken 1-3 times per day, 200-500mg per dose. It is best to begin supplementation with the smallest effective dose (200mg) and increase it to 400-500mg with time, if needed.
Stacking:
Alpha GPC is a perfect substance to stack with other nootropics, e.g., noopept, Rhodiola Rosea, Bacopa monnieri, and Gotu kola. For a highly synergistic cholinergic effect, stack it with a small dose of ALCAR.
