Alpha GPC is the most bioavailable form of the critical substance choline, and also crosses the blood brain barrier, meaning fast and efficient access into the brain. Alpha GPC then becomes a beneficial constituent of brain cell membranes. Alpha GPC may help to repair damaged neurons and may inhibit age-related destruction of neurons. Alpha GPC increases the brain's synthesis of acetyl-choline, boosting cognitive function and mental acuity.

I really have enjoyed using Alpha GPC. Having played football my whole life. I have taken it to help with my cognition after all the years of heading a ball. I think it will add value in my later years for sure.
