Cerebra-GPC is 100% Purified PhosChol with the fatty acids removed. It is a simple formulation of purified GPC and water, which comes together as a clear, concentrated, sweet tasting solution that is easy to administer to adults and children.
GPC is a safe, stable, and rapidly absorbed source of free choline, which easily enters the brain and has many functions in the body. It is important for the structural integrity of cell membranes, cholinergic neurotransmission, transmembrane signalling, methyl metabolism, and lipid-cholesterol transport and metabolism. Choline is a precursor for phosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin, platelet-activating factor, betaine, and other phospholipids.
GPC is a nutrient present in all mammalian cells and other life forms. It is a rapidly absorbed source of choline, which easily enters the brain and has many functions in the body.
Choline is important for the structural integrity of cell membranes, cholinergic neurotransmission, transmembrane signalling, methyl metabolism, and lipid-cholesterol transport and metabolism. Choline speeds the synthesis and release of acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter involved in numerous important functions in the body. Choline is an essential nutrient since the de novo synthesis of choline is not always sufficient to meet human requirements for choline.
It should be noted that foods that are good sources of choline and choline esters are typically higher in fat and/or cholesterol. Many Americans, in view of recommendations from various private and government public health organizations, are decreasing fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol in their diet. The consumption of less fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol will lead to a concomitant decrease in choline intake.
Choline is a vitamin-like, essential nutrient. But free choline is poorly bioavailable and unstable in the water phase. GPC is a physiological form of choline in the body.
Cerebra GPC is water soluble and able to efficiently increase choline levels in the blood and the brain.
Glycerophosphocholine is a natural, physiological, water-soluble and stable precursor of choline. It is part of the daily nutrition and its levels are reduced on account of changed dietary composition. The fortification of different foods with GPC can supply GPC and choline as readily absorbed nutrients for cholinergenic metabolic functions such as neurological and mental performance
