L-Alpha Glycerylphosphorylcholine (Alpha GPC) is a naturally occurring phospholipid precursor and metabolite. Alpha GPC apparently delivers choline to the brain across the blood-brain barrier.
Studies have investigated its efficacy for cognitive disorders including stroke and Alzheimer’s Disease. An Italian multicentre clinical trial on 2,044 patients suffering from recent stroke were supplied alpha-GPC in doses of 1,000 mg/day for 28 days and 400 mg/day for five ensuing months. The trial confirmed the therapeutic role of alpha-GPC on the cognitive recovery of patients based on four measurement scales, three of which reached statistical significance.[1]
