GPC Liquid

• Very effective form of choline for brain health

Description

Choline is a semi-essential nutrient with a Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of 425 mg/day for women and 550 mg/day for men according to the Institute of Medicine. Many people are unable to obtain adequate amounts of choline from the diet and endogenous synthesis (from phosphatidyleth- nolamine) is limited. Aging, genetic polymorphisms, and estrogen deficiency are factors that can increase the body's demand for choline above the RDA.

Glycerophosphocholine (GPC, also known as L-alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine or choline alfoscerate) is a source of choline found in small amounts in various foods (including breast milk) as well as in all human cells. GPC is a water-soluble molecule and is a more efficient source of choline than choline or phosphatidylcholine (PC) from food or supplements.

GPC is well absorbed orally and is cleaved within the enterocytes into glycerol-1-phosphate and choline. Following ingestion of GPC, plasma choline levels increase rapidly and may remain elevated for up to ten hours. A high plasma concentration of choline stimulates its transport across the blood-brain barrier very efficiently. This increases the choline reserves inside the neurons, where it is then used for the synthesis of PC and acetylcholine.
