Alpha-GPC: Difference between revisions

Line 10:

Alpha-GPC's popularity is largely due to it being the most efficient choline prodrug (able to influence both systemic and brain concentrations of choline). Due to the provision of the other half of the alpha-GPC molecule (glycerophosphate), alpha-GPC also appears to support the structure of cellular membranes, similarly to [[citicoline]].

Athletes have been known to use alpha-GPC due to its ability to enhance growth hormone production and to enhance power output, which has a lone pilot study in support of 600 mg alpha-GPC prior to exercise. <ref>http://jissn.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1550-2783-5-S1-P15</ref>
