Alpha-GPC: The Memory Enhancer
Alpha-GPC is a choline compound that boosts acetylcholine production, the primary neurotransmitter for learning, memory, and cognitive function in aging dogs.
Why does my dog forget commands?
Acetylcholine is the brain's learning and memory neurotransmitter. As dogs age, acetylcholine production declines dramatically, impairing memory formation, recall, and learning ability.
This manifests as:
- Memory LossForgets previously learned commands
- Learning DifficultySlower to learn new commands or tasks
- Cognitive DeclineReduced mental engagement and focus

Restoring the Memory Neurotransmitter
Alpha-GPC is a precursor to acetylcholine, directly boosting production of the brain's primary learning and memory neurotransmitter.
Acetylcholine Production
Alpha-GPC directly increases acetylcholine synthesis, restoring the neurotransmitter essential for memory and learning.
Memory Enhancement
Improves memory formation, retention, and recall—helping senior dogs maintain cognitive function and learn new tasks.
Brain Cell Support
Supports neuronal membrane integrity and synaptic plasticity for optimal brain cell communication.
How Alpha-GPC Works
Choline Precursor
Alpha-GPC is a highly bioavailable form of choline that crosses the blood-brain barrier efficiently. Once in the brain, it serves as a direct precursor to acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter critical for learning and memory formation.
Synaptic Plasticity Enhancement
By increasing acetylcholine, Alpha-GPC enhances synaptic plasticity—the brain's ability to form new connections. This is fundamental to learning, memory formation, and cognitive aging prevention.
Membrane Phospholipid Support
Alpha-GPC also provides phosphatidylcholine, a critical component of neuronal membranes. This dual action—acetylcholine production plus membrane support—makes it uniquely effective for cognitive aging.
