In the brain and other neural tissues, Alpha GPC becomes a constituent of cell membranes.* Clinical studies have demonstrated that supplementation with Alpha GPC can support the brain's synthesis of acetyl-choline.* In this way, it helps to promote normal cognitive function and mental acuity.* Natural color variation may occur in this product. Review: The most bio-available form of choline. - CDP-choline comes in at a close second, but the price on desertcart justifies dishing out a little more for this form of choline. I've heard that the effects of Alpha-GPC can be best felt when "recovering" from any activity or event that puts stress on the body and can significantly alter your mental capabilities (Alzheimer's, stroke, etc.). I can attest to this fact as I've noticed great results after sleepless nights working on projects and such. It has boosted the cognitive enhancing effects of caffeine for me in many cases, in the way of making my mind clearer on the task at hand. I'd say about 1/4 times, I won't notice any effects from it, but that other 3/4 of the time makes this product worth it for me in the end. As of this writing, I could not find a less expensive form of this product, so both the price and the effects prompted me to order 4 of them. I hope you derive the same-or better-type of benefits from the product, should you choose to purchase it. Highly recommended. Update 01/21/12: After using this product for months at a time, I felt it was far superior to the CDP-choline (which has fallen farther behind than the "close second" I described it as being previously). I wasn't absolutely sure if what I was feeling was "true" as the placebo effect for many supplements can play a far bigger role than the supplement itself. Which is exactly what the placebo effect is, and my biggest fear when deciding on supplements to take. No one wants to dish out hard-earned money for self-delusional mind-tricks, even if they do "help" in the end. However, even after initial skepticism (which I always have in order to catch myself playing mind-tricks on myself), this product has performed consistently well and as I was searching for the entry on nootropics on wikipedia, I read this: "Alpha-GPC--thought to be the only cholinergic that delivers choline to the brain across the Blood-brain barrier; sold under its chemical name". I have absolutely found this to be the case, as all my other supplements I have taken that float around the nootropic forum discussion haven't had nearly the effect on my learning as these have. And I read this after I had already decided this was the real deal. In other words, I have now become a disciple for the product. I should mention, however, that this product has proven useless by itself (at least for me). When it's combined with a CNS stimulant, such as caffeine or whatever else you're privy to, the effects stand out big time. So, taking it in conjunction with something else will reap the biggest reward for you. Just an opinion based on my observation and many others how frequent forums on nootropics. If you're interested in a particular stack that is popular for its cognitive-enhancing effects, check out my review on 5-hour energy. Note: it is NOT in defense of the product and actually details how to make the "cocktail" of supplements out of 4 products bought cheaply on desertcart. I'm a big believer in that particular stack, as well as this particular product. I use them together which is why I mentioned it here. I hope you've had the same success I've had with these products. Best of luck! Review: Choline Brain Booster - helps improve memory - [+] THE REVIEW I take this primarily to increase the levels of choline in the brain. The benefit of taking Alpha GPC over other choline supplements is that it delivers choline across the blood-brain barrier more quickly and efficiently. For example, I would take this just before taking a test or if I was having brain fog as I would want to boost my brain's cognitive function as fast as possible. When I first started taking Apha GPC, it had an almost overwhelming effect as I could feel the effects very well. I did notice that after taking them for a while, the effects seemed to disapate. Maybe that's because my mind was not as dysfunctional as before, so the effects between a dysfunctional brain and a function one then becomes less. Or, it is also possible that there is sort of diminished effects as the body gets used to the Alpha GPC. I have no idea which is the case; however, I still feel that the improvement is there after taking the product. Pros: - Delivers more choline to the brain - Able to cross the blood-brain barrier more easily Cons: - More expensive than taking other choline supplements [+] ACETYLCHOLINE NEUROTRANSMITTER Acetylcholine (ACh) is a neurotransmitter that is required for the synapses to fire (i.e., the process of thought). Without it, no cognitive function can take place. Therefore, if the brain is not producing enough ACh then it is reasonable to expect diminished cognitive function. The Acetylcholine neurotransmitter is made up of two groups, which are Acetyl group plus the Choline group. This product supplies the Choline group to that equation. Therefore, this product supplies the precursor (i.e., one of the building blocks) to the formation of the acetylcholine neurotransmitter.

I will not put anything in my body made in China!** A: being made in USA does NOT MEAN all ingredients are SOURCED from USA, all Ingredients could Come from China and then PUT together in USA so they can get the Made in USA cert. **Q: How good is this compared to Alpha Brain by Onnit Labs?** A: I've never tried Alpha Brain, but I know Alpha Gpc is the main ingredient. I would er towards the Now Foods version, just based on reputation. **Q: Is this product non-GMO?** A: It is from a soy source, and since 90% or so of all soy is now genetically modified I would be highly surprised if this used non-GMO soy. If they did, they should be stating so as it would be a good selling point. **Q: How much product is included in the pack of 3. I see it shipping wt is 6lbs. I see the shipping wt of the 60 count bottle is .8,** A: I'm assuming you're asking how many capsules are in each bottle? If not, then I apologize in advance for misunderstanding your question. Each bottle contains 60 capsules with a suggested recommended serving of 2 caps twice per day. I only take 1 capsule per day (300 mg. each). I've found taking 2 caps per day is a bit too much for me (600 total mg.). Taking 1 cap hits that "sweet spot" for me, with the added benefit of each bottle being a 2 month supply instead of a 1 month supply or even worse, only a 2 week supply if you followed the recommended dosage. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The most bio-available form of choline. *by M***A on July 25, 2011* CDP-choline comes in at a close second, but the price on Amazon justifies dishing out a little more for this form of choline.

I started using it for memory problems that ... *by S***E on September 18, 2015* This stuff is amazing! I started using it for memory problems that developed following severe sleep deprivation (after 18 mos sleeping 3X a week I lost much of my short term memory and still have lasting memory problems). I would say that it works better than anything else I've tried for increasing cognitive function, and I have tried everything. I have at some point tried almost any supplement you can think of and this is my favorite by far. I noticed a significant difference the very first time I used it, I can't say that about any other supplements I've tried. It far exceeded my expectations. It gives an amazing sense of clarity, as if the brain fog just lifts away. Almost like in those claritin clear commercials. It helps with focus and motivation (I have to study A LOT). However, what surprised me was the amount of energy I have when I take this. I have always had problems with overwhelming fatigue (regardless of how much I sleep), after about 1pm my body suddenly becomes lead and it's a serious struggle to accomplish anything. I have always had problems with overwhelming fatigue even as a child (I'm only 25). There seemed to be no reason for this since I have no health problems and was very active. At one point I became extremely physically fit and worked out 4 hours a day and no amount of exercise helped with the fatigue. Caffeine and nicotine never helped much. I am now thinking that I may have been choline deficient most of my life. However, when I take this the overwhelming fatigue just never happens. This is reason enough to keep taking this. Another thing I noticed is that my appetite (which is normally insatiable and very difficult to control) is severely diminished (a good thing for me), and I have far fewer sugar cravings. I gave these to my grandma and she is far more sensitive to the effects. One capsule in the morning keeps her working like a machine in the garden and around the house. Make sure you take them in the morning! My grandma took them at 2pm once and didn't sleep the whole night. This is an excellent "stimulant", with none of the bad effects of caffeine or nicotine and anything else. It's adaptogenic too! It's actually good for you! Another interesting effect I've noticed is a change in the way I dream. I have always had very vivid dreams with crazy, nonsensical plots. My dreams since taking this are oddly coherent and seem to follow one plot rather than diverging into random nonsense. This is likely just another result of the increased availability of acetylcholine affecting how my neurons fire. I feel like this stuff just evens out my brain. Can't recommend this enough! Highly recommend to anyone with chronic fatigue. ## Frequently Bought Together - NOW Supplements, Alpha GPC 300 mg with Bioavailable Source of Choline, 60 Veg Capsules - NOW Foods Supplements, L-Tyrosine 500 mg, Supports Mental Alertness*, Neurotransmitter Support*, 120 Capsules - NOW Foods Supplements, Lion's Mane 500 mg, Super Mushroom, Made with Organic Lion's Mane Mushrooms, 60 Veg Capsules --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/1865642-now-supplements-alpha-gpc-300-mg-with-bioavailable-source-choline](https://www.desertcart.at/products/1865642-now-supplements-alpha-gpc-300-mg-with-bioavailable-source-choline) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
