Jarrow Alpha GPC 300 mg, 60 cap

Jarrow Formulations Alpha GPC ((L-alphaglycerylphosphorylcholine, also known as choline alfoscerate) is a phospholipid metabolite found concentrated in neuronal membranes. Made from lecithin, Alpha GPC is extremely well absorbed and crosses the blood brain barrier.

In the brain, Alpha GPC supports brain function and learning processes by directly increasing the synthesis and secretion of acetylcholine. Alpha GPC protects neurons and improves signal transmission by serving as a precursor to membrane phospholipids.

Alpha GPC is used as a tool to help stall the progression of cognitive decline

Functions in the Body
 
Acetylcholine
Alpha-GPC is a precursor of acetylcholine and administration of alpha-GPC has been shown to increase the synthesis and release of acetylcholine from the hippocampus.(3)

Choline
Alpha-GPC is a source of choline, which can be used in the body for the production of phosphatidylcholine and acetylcholine.(4)

GABAnergic neuronal system
There is some indication that alpha-GPC may also play a role in the activation of the GABAnergic neuronal system. In animal studies, administration of alpha-GPC caused increased GABA release.

Human growth hormone
Administration of alpha-GPC results in small increases in human growth hormone (hGH) and a potentiation of the effects of growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) in both young and elderly individuals, with effects in the elderly being more pronounced.

Alpha-GPC, which is also known as L-alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine and choline alfoscerate, is an intermediate in phospholipid metabolism that naturally occurs in humans. Structurally, it is made up of choline, glycerol, and phosphate. It is a primary storage form of choline and occurs in cells throughout the human body. In addition to being a recognized source of choline, it can stimulate the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine and the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.

Numerous studies report that its ability to increase the synthesis and release of acetylcholine make it a promising candidate as a cognitive enhancing agent in the treatment of the elderly as well as patients with senility and Alzheimer’s disease.
Alpha-GPC is a product of catabolic phospholipid degradation as well as a precursor for the production of phospholipids. Thus, alpha-GPC plays a key role in both the synthesis and the catabolic recycling of phospholipids.

Alpha-GPC has also been shown to be a natural human growth hormone (hGH) secretagogue. Studies report that it increases growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH)-induced secretion of human growth hormone (hGH) in both normal elderly and young subjects as well as in elderly patients with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

Because alpha-GPC influences phospholipid metabolism, the production of acetylcholine, and human growth hormone secretion, researchers are suggesting that it may be therapeutically useful in a wide range of conditions related to aging, long-term stress, chronic or acute disease states, and various anti-aging applications.

Cognitive decline is an issue many will face with advancing age. In fact, many people, as early as in their late 30s, start to detect short-term memory loss. The brain relies on certain compounds to maintain neuronal function and structure.

L-alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine (GPC) readily converts to acetylcholine in the brain. GPC also helps maintain neuronal structural integrity. Found in the brain and peripheral nervous system, acetylcholine is a messenger molecule that plays an important role in memory, learning, and attention.

 Each Jarrow Formulas® Alpha GPC 250 liquid-filled capsule contains 300 mg of elemental Alpha GPC.

What are the benefits of Vitamins and Minerals?

Vitamins are essential to sustain life and we must get them from our natural foods or dietary supplements. The nutrition they provide help people feel better, more energetic and assist the body with normal functions. Vitamins and minerals are necessary for our growth, vitality and well-being.

Vitamins and minerals are essential for our body but they are no replacement for food. A vitamin or mineral has no caloric or energy value by itself, but when taken as a dietary supplement to your daily food intake, they can help supplement your daily diet by balancing out the deficiencies of improper eating habits, overcooked foods and non-nutritive, processed foods. Sometimes vitamins are used as therapies for various ailments and disease.

What role do minerals play to keep us healthy?

In addition to vitamins, your body needs minerals to aid in the assimilation of the vitamins. Minerals help accelerate the billions of chemical reactions occurring in your body all the time. Some help in the efficient metabolization of proteins, fat and carbohydrates. Others help regulate the utilization of certain vitamins. Minerals actually become components of the body structure - bones, cartilage, toenails and fingernails, and they contribute toward hardness and strength.

I have heard that taking Vitamin E increases DHEA levels in body, is that true?

Vitamin E has recently been shown to protect/ preserve critical DHEA levels in the brain. It is suspected that preserving DHEA levels in the brain may delay the onset of many mental degenerative diseases associated with "getting older". According to a study done by Japanese researchers, vitamin E deficient diet notably reduced brain (adrenal) DHEA levels. However, using more vitamin E did not increase adrenal DHEA levels beyond normal values.
When can magnesium deficiency occur?

Even though dietary surveys suggest that many Americans do not consume magnesium in recommended amounts, magnesium deficiency is rarely seen in the United States in adults. When magnesium deficiency does occur, it is usually due to excessive loss of magnesium in urine, gastrointestinal system disorders that cause a loss of magnesium or limit magnesium absorption, or a chronically low intake of magnesium.
Who may need extra magnesium?

Magnesium supplementation is usually indicated when a specific health problem or condition causes an excessive loss of magnesium or limits magnesium absorption. Healthy adults who eat a varied diet do not generally need to take a magnesium supplement.
