Alpha-GPC is a naturally occurring choline compound found endogenously in the brain which is also synthesized for oral consumption. Structurally, alpha-GPC is comprised of a choline group bound to a glycerol molecule via a phosphate group. Choline is a quaternary ammonium salt, containing a positively charged ammonium cation substituted with three methyl groups and a hydroxyethyl chain. | Alpha-GPC is a naturally occurring choline compound found endogenously in the brain which is also synthesized for oral consumption.

Choline is a quaternary ammonium salt, containing a positively charged ammonium cation substituted with three methyl groups and a hydroxyethyl chain. Glycerol is a poly substituted alcohol consisting of a propane with one hydroxyl (OH) group bound to each carbon in the chain. | ||
