- Boosts Growth Hormone (GH) Secretion
- Studies show Alpha-GPC (≥600mg) can enhance GH release, improving muscle strength and recovery.
- Popular among athletes and bodybuilders.
- Enhances Power Output
- Some evidence suggests it improves explosive strength (e.g., in resistance training).
3. Medical & Clinical Uses
- Dementia & Cognitive Decline
- Used in Europe as a prescription drug (e.g., Delecit®) for vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s.
- Post-Stroke Rehabilitation
- May help restore cognitive function after ischemic stroke.
4. Functional Foods & Supplements
