What is Alpha-GPC?
Alpha-GPC (L-alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine) is a choline source that breaks down into choline and glycerophosphate. Choline is used to make acetylcholine.
It’s sold here at 50% and 99% purity.

Research on Alpha-GPC
De Jesus Moreno Moreno reported in 2003 that alpha-GPC improved cognitive scores in Alzheimer’s patients in a 180-day trial.
Other studies looked at growth hormone release and exercise.

Powder or capsules: choosing your Alpha-GPC
This listing covers Alpha-GPC in more than one form. The loose powder is the flexible, lower-cost option if you’re weighing your own amounts. The capsules hold a fixed amount each, which saves time when every sample has to be the same.
If you pick the powder, a scale that reads to 0.01g or better is worth having. Our digital scale and micro scoops are made for this kind of work. Either way, keep the container closed tight so moisture stays out.
Making a solution from Alpha-GPC powder
To make a stock solution, decide on the final volume and concentration first. For 30mL at 10mg/mL you’d weigh 300mg of Alpha-GPC, dissolve it in about 25mL of solvent, then top up to exactly 30mL.
Check the compound’s solubility in your chosen solvent before you start, and try a small test amount first. Store the finished solution in a labelled glass bottle.
How we test Alpha-GPC
Every batch of Alpha-GPC is checked with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) before it goes on sale. LC-MS separates a sample into its parts and identifies each one by mass, so it confirms what the compound is and how much of the sample it makes up. The current batch tested at 99% or higher.
Small differences between batches are normal, so write the batch number from the label into your records. If something looks wrong when your order arrives, like discoloured powder or a cloudy solution, set it aside and don’t use it.
Storage and handling
Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a clean, dry scoop for the powder, and keep both forms sealed between uses. Label anything you decant with the compound, amount and date, and keep it out of reach of children and pets.
Common questions about the Alpha-GPC powder and capsules
What can I dissolve Alpha-GPC powder in?
That depends on the compound’s solubility and your protocol. Check the solubility data for your solvent first, and test a small amount before making up a full batch.
What scale do I need?
One that reads to 0.01g at minimum, and 0.001g for very small amounts. Our pocket scale reads to 0.01g.
