Nutricost Alpha-GPC 300mg
by Nutricost
"The premium choline source for brain and power — 300mg Alpha-GPC for acetylcholine production and growth hormone"
Overview
Nutricost Alpha-GPC provides 300mg of alpha-glycerophosphocholine — the most bioavailable form of choline that crosses the blood-brain barrier to support acetylcholine production. Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter responsible for memory, learning, and muscle contraction. Alpha-GPC is unique among choline sources because it also stimulates growth hormone release — a 600mg dose increased growth hormone by 44% in one study. It's a staple in both nootropic stacks (for cognition) and pre-workout stacks (for power output and mind-muscle connection).
