Alpha-GPC 50%
Identity Alpha-GPC (L-alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine) is a naturally occurring choline-containing phospholipid metabolite and a direct biosynthetic precursor to acetylcholine. This preparation is standardized to 50% active Alpha-GPC by weight, adsorbed onto an inert carrier (silica or calcium phosphate) to stabilize the highly hygroscopic active.
| Chemical name | L-alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine |
| CAS | 28319-77-9 |
| Molecular formula (active) | C₈H₂₀NO₆P |
| Molecular weight (active) | 257.22 g/mol |
| Active content | 50% (w/w); remainder inert carrier |
| Appearance | White to off-white hygroscopic powder |
| Solubility | Freely soluble in water |
| Storage | 15–25 °C, tightly sealed, desiccated. High hygroscopicity — reseal promptly and minimize air exposure. |
Note on the 50% grade: Pure Alpha-GPC is extremely hygroscopic and difficult to handle as a free-flowing powder. The carrier-adsorbed 50% form improves gravimetric handling and short-term stability for laboratory weighing and solution preparation. For studies requiring the pure compound, pure-grade Alpha-GPC is the appropriate material. Research applications
- Acetylcholine synthesis pathway studies
- Choline bioavailability and neurotransmitter turnover research
- Cholinergic signaling and neuromuscular assays
- Phospholipid metabolism studies
Quality control
- HPLC for assay and purity
- Loss on drying (LOD) for moisture content
- Identity confirmation against reference standards
- Batch-specific COA
