What Is Alpha-GPC?
Alpha-GPC is a powerful compound which increases choline production.
¡°Choline is an essential nutrient that is required for life¡¯s most basic functions, such as normal cell activity, liver function, and transporting nutrients throughout the body¡± explains Harold Mandel, MD. ¡°Research has shown that only 1 out of every 10 Americans get enough choline.¡±
Better still, choline is used by the brain to produce the critical neurotransmitter acetylcholine. In turn, acetylcholine boosts growth hormone production, cognitive function, and muscle growth.
¡°Growth hormone is necessary for general rejuvenation,¡± Mandel goes on. ¡°Many studies have supported the use of this nutrient for the young and old to help boost cognitive performance and help offset age-related mental decline.¡±
To back Mandel¡¯s statement, a recent study from the Center for Applied Health Science Research in Ohio, showed alpha-GPC had a more pronounced effect on increasing growth hormone when combined with weightlifting.
