Alpha-Glyceral Phosphoryl Choline (A-GPC) L-Alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine (αGPC, choline alfoscerate) is a precursor in the biosynthesis of neuronal cell phospholipids and has been shown to increase the availability of acetylcholine (Ach) in nerve tissue. The proper functioning of acetylcholine neurotransmission is integral to healthy cognition. Disruptions in acetylcholine neurotransmission are associated with many memory-related or age-associated disorders and result in impairments in learning, memory, and cognitive processing. αGPC, which is an extract from purified soy lecithin, can elevate Ach levels to help the body enhance cognitive skills. αGPC enhances Ach neurotransmission by facilitating cell membrane fluidity and increasing the availability of neurotransmitter precursors.
