Usage |
Alpha GPC is a chemical released
when a fatty acid found in soy and other plants breaks down. 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
given as 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”. Alpha-GPC is also used for improving memory, thinking skills, and
learning.
Function and application of alpha GPC
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;
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.
