Give your Brain a Boost
When it comes to memory formation and learning one of the most important brain chemicals involved is called acetylcholine. This critical neurotransmitter is derived from the precursor choline, and one of the best supplemental sources of choline is Alpha GPC (Alpha- glycerylphosphorylcholine). Through providing your brain with more raw choline, and converting this into acetylcholine, a number of therapeutic benefits can be realized which improve one’s health. Alpha GPC is an extremely potent tool when it comes to improving memory and learning, as well as fighting cognitive decline and symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. When a patient presents with symptoms of impaired cognitive functioning, sometimes experienced as “Brain Fog”, supplementation with Alpha GPC can provide clearer and sharper thinking. Healthy individuals can also use this amazing source of choline to improve cognitive performance. The most choline rich foods include liver and other organ meats which are no longer a common staple in the North American diet. Due to this we have noticed that many people are deficient and can accrue great advantages from supplementing with Alpha GPC. It is an excellent source of fuel for cognitive functioning in the brain.

Methods of Administration
Supplementing with Alpha GPC orally is actually quite effective at increasing choline levels in the body if the patient has a healthy digestive system. Oral doses of 300-600mg a day are tolerated quite well and can be very beneficial for one’s health. Depending on a patient’s condition one may recommend to supplement with Alpha GPC primarily through the oral route. However, if a patient presents with symptoms of imperfect digestive health, more serious health conditions, or is not benefitting enough from oral administration and requires much higher doses, intravenous administration is the best option for raising levels. This allows for 100% absorption directly into the bloodstream and can replenish choline levels in the body much more efficiently. Patients often report clearer thinking and improved cognitive function during their first IV session. Sometimes a few sessions are required to achieve and maintain optimal results.
