Alpha-GPC is present in the body in very small amounts and is commercially extracted from soy lecithin. Since sourcing sufficient Alpha-GPC from foods can be almost impossible due to the amounts of food one must eat to gain effective results, it has become a popular supplement. 

Besides its beneficial effects to memory and cognition, Alpha-GPC is commonly supplemented by bodybuilders due to its property to stimulate the production of the human growth hormone.

A pilot study on humans suggested that when Alpha-GPC is taken 90 minutes prior to a workout session, increased performance by nearly 15%.

Many consumers reported that Alpha GPC improves mood, motivation and endurance.

Dosage

Most sources suggest a starting dosage of 300 - 600 mg per day. Every individual should test out their optimum effective dosage.

Stacking

Alpha-GPC is one of the best stacking nootropics out there.

Noopept - for improving cognitive functions

Aniracetam - for improving mood and relief stress

Side-Effects

Although Alpha-GPC is generally well tolerated, some people may suffer nausea, stomach distress, nervousness, fatigue or headache. Mostly these side-effects occur in connection with higher dosages.

Attention

As with any supplement, people with medical conditions should take great care and consult a doctor prior to administration.

Especially pregnant woman and patients taking scopolamine are advised to avoid this supplement.
