Alpha-GPC, also known as choline alfoscerate and alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine, is a choline-containing compound found naturally in the brain as well as in small amounts in foods like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy.Alpha-GPC is also a natural phospholipid.
Studies and evidence show that alpha-GPC is considered one of the most efficient sources of choline, a fat-soluble member of the B vitamin complex. This indicates that alpha-GPC may effectively increase concentrations of choline.
Many potential alpha-GPC uses focus on its state as a precursor to acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that helps the brain send signals to nerves throughout the body. Acetylcholine has been shown to play an important role in memory formation, concentration, logical reasoning, and learning.
Studies indicate that alpha-GPC may support greater synaptic plasticity. This is essentially your brain’s method of adaptation and changing to new information, controlling how your neurons communicate with one another, which results in the process of creating and recalling memories. This may translate to improved retrieval and retention of information. According to research, alpha-GPC may enhance your overall learning capacity and problem solving abilities.
Alpha-GPC is reported to support cognitive health. While there are no randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials showing this is true in healthy adults, anecdotal evidence shows support.
We offer a naturally derived, non-GMO alpha-GPC product manufactured with organic ingredients. Alpha-GPC is also GRAS-affirmed by the FDA, meaning it is Generally Recognized As Safe.
Our Alpha-GPC 99% Powder is a nearly pure product for those who desire full potency, but we also offer Alpha-GPC 50% Powder for those concerned with alpha-GPC’s sensitive hygroscopic nature.
As a dietary supplement, take 300mg of Alpha-GPC once daily.
Alpha GPC and Hygroscopy
Alpha-GPC is a hygroscopic compound, which means it draws in moisture from the air around it, physically changing it from a powder to a gel-like substance when not stored properly. While this hygroscopic effect doesn’t necessarily mean the product has degraded, it is a sign of improper storage. Storing your Alpha-GPC in airtight containers (think vacuum seal) is helpful. While we take steps to ensure this does not happen to your product, should Alpha-GPC 99% arrive with clumps, simply break them up prior to use.
Why don’t we sell an Alpha-GPC 100% Powder? Alpha-GPC with a purity of greater than 99% will undergo hygroscopy very quickly as soon as it meets the air.
Always discuss the addition of nootropics and supplements with your doctor or another trusted healthcare professional, and stay informed about how a product might affect you--everyone is different.
Nootropics Depot offers both a 30g and 60g jar of Alpha GPC 99% powder.

After I got this and found out they have a pure powder form also, I ordered it as well. The reason it is 50 percent, is to keep it from retaining moisture. The pure form was very sticky. So when I run out, going with this form on repeat.
The best to rack with ALL Racetams... and taste like Marshmallow!!! Yum!

Next time I'll get the 50% powder. This stuff is great but it's sticky and absorbs moisture fast. It's hard to portion out because it sticks to any spoon or scoop. Overall, I'm still happy with it.
Although I live in a humid area and highly purified GPC is prone to absorb moisture, I haven’t a problem with it. I keep it tightly sealed in the refrigerator and add an extra packet or two of moisture absorber. This was my third purchase and both of the first two were ‘good to the last drop’.
I Stack this (300mg) with Oxiracetam (~500mg) and Noopept (20mg) and thé synergy is perfect ! I'm Web Developper ans this stack help me A LOT on learning/working phase . Thank you !!!
Alpha GPS the 99% stuff is great for me it has helped me lower the amount of coffe I drink from brewing about 60 to 70 grams every morning to sometimes down to 20 grams of coffe, the real benefit however is that it keeps my mental tank full, sorta speak, I cannot definitively say that it improves my cognition in that I learn things faster, perhaps just the tiniest bit, however I will say that when I take this stuff early in the morning I get home and still have the mental energy to do chores or hobbies with out feeling mental fatigue. I tried racetams and didn't much enjoyed them though they do have great benefits but they felt very much like stimulants to me. If you have ever had a great day when you slept well and your mind felt, somewhat keen, well that's what Alpha GPC does for me, and it extends this through out the day, I don't like taking anytime after 2 because I have one of those minds that just doesn't shut down, and giving it more 'energy' would not help. Oh yeah and if you play sports, perhaps it's just me but it helped me improve my tennis game immensely, If you had those days where everything clicks / the zone, well this 'gives' you that. I don't want this review to come off as if its some miracle drug, it is not, however for those that are self aware and conscious of their mental and physical performance, you will notice a difference, at a certain level of awareness you notice that 5 to 12 percent improvement in your ability and you can recognize it's huge thing. Buy this stuff, I just wish they could keep it in stock.
ND promptly helped me when I reached out to customer support when ordering. Shipped fast..took like two days to south TX. I've ordered this product previously but not in such a pure state. Plan to store appropriately, otherwise it will turn to jelly. I take Alpha-GPC before class or before sitting down to study. This product keeps me absorbed in my studies rather than floating in my brain-space. I keep the dose low and sometimes pair with supps like Hup or Uridine. I also like to dose before strength-training.
Perhaps this just isn't for me. I don't hate the supplement or anything, and don't think poorly of it. It's just my reaction to the supplement is all. At least it tastes sweet!
If dry storage isn't an issue this is the best value and great quality.
nootropics depot, best quality, best education, and indeed best customer service!
Alpha -Gpc 99% powder
The most potent version of choline, and Nootropics Depot does a justice.
I find that Alpha-GPC does wonders for me! Nootropics Depot strikes again! Shipping is impeccable with every purchase so far.
Perfect. Had no issue with product quality or shipping. Great as always. I only give it 4 stars because it's not my favorite choline source. Long time racetam and stim user, have supplemented with all choline sources. Alpha-GPC is my 2nd fav, with CDP-choline as number 1. I'd get both honestly and see what's best for you.
Although the 99% can attract moisture, it's worth the tradeoff for me because it dissolves nicely in my mouth (and tastes sweet). I wash it down with water. The 50% gets clumpy and imo is best for making capsules (which I'm too lazy to do since I have so many powdered supps).
Definitely worth the money, as described. Noticeable difference in energy levels when taking.
I had also ordered some alpha-gpc from another website, the other websites gpc was clumpier, this Gov is pretty fine and seems to absorb better.
I have a stack that I take spaced out and cycled. It's quite a lot so I use Alpha-GPC 100% for my choline source. Here's the catch with the 99-100% alpha gpc, it will cake up and gel up if exposed to air for long periods of time so the best thing to is get a couple jars and fill them up and cap them, and then take the bottle of alpha-gpc and vac seal it so no air gets to it. It's THE best product for choline source and at a fantastic price! 10/10 - ND 4 LIFE!
I have personally stacked this Alpha GPC with Armodafinil, Phenylpiracetam and Noopept. Makes a noticeable difference, especially when stacked. On the downside, it is extremely hydroscopic, it absorbs water very easily and might form small clumps in the container.
Best
