Structurally, alpha-GPC is comprised of a choline group bound to a glycerol molecule via a phosphoryl group. | ||
It is Phosphatidylcholine (a lecithin molecule) without its two fatty acids. The molar mass of Alpha-GPC is 257.221g, and is 40% choline by weight (ie. 1,000mg Alpha-GPC confers 400mg free choline). | It is Phosphatidylcholine (a lecithin molecule) without its two fatty acids.
