How Choline Alfoscerate works

Choline alfoscerate, also known as alpha-GPC, supplies choline to the brain. Nerve cells use choline to make acetylcholine, a chemical messenger involved in memory and learning, and to build the phospholipids that form cell membranes. Increasing this supply is thought to support nerve cell function.

What is Choline Alfoscerate used for?

Choline Alfoscerate is prescribed in some countries for memory and thinking problems linked to ageing or dementia, and to support recovery after a stroke or other brain injury. It is used as an add-on treatment and its effects are generally modest. It does not reverse dementia, but some people notice small improvements in attention and memory.
