Alpha-Glycerophosphocholine
The Memory Molecule
Alpha-GPC is a highly bioavailable form of choline that efficiently crosses the blood-brain barrier. Once in the brain, it serves as a precursor to acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter most closely associated with memory, learning, and cognitive function. This dual action makes it one of the most effective choline sources for supporting brain health and cognitive performance in dogs.

Scientific animation showing the mechanism of action of Alpha-Glycerophosphocholine
After ingestion, Alpha-GPC is rapidly absorbed and crosses the blood-brain barrier. In the brain, it is metabolized to release choline, which combines with acetyl-CoA to form acetylcholine. This neurotransmitter is essential for memory formation, learning, and muscle control. Alpha-GPC also contributes to phosphatidylcholine synthesis, supporting neuronal membrane structure and function. The result is enhanced neural communication and improved cognitive performance.
Timing: Best given in the morning with food
Highly bioavailable; lower doses are effective compared to other choline sources.
Alpha-GPC is well-tolerated in dogs with an excellent safety profile. May cause mild GI upset in sensitive individuals. Consult your veterinarian before use.
