How much Alpha-GPC is in DayShift?

Each DayShift packet contains 300 mg of Alpha-GPC, dosed within the 300 to 700 mg range used in clinical research on cognitive performance.

What is the difference between Alpha-GPC and other choline sources?

Alpha-GPC is one of the most bioavailable forms of choline, meaning the body absorbs and uses more of what you take. Research has shown Alpha-GPC produces substantially higher plasma choline levels than alternatives like citicoline within 30 minutes, and significantly more than cheaper forms like choline bitartrate.

How fast does Alpha-GPC work?

Alpha-GPC is studied as an acute cognitive support compound. Research shows it is absorbed quickly and reaches plasma choline peaks within about 30 minutes of intake, which is why it has been studied for short-term cognitive performance and reaction time.

Alpha-GPC has a strong safety record in clinical trials at the doses used for cognitive support. As with any supplement, consult your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medication.

Q: What does Alpha-GPC do?

Alpha-GPC is studied for its role in supplying choline to the brain, which is then used to make acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter behind focus, attention, learning, and memory. Research has linked Alpha-GPC to acute cognitive performance, reaction time, and working memory.

The Focus & Memory Precursor

Alpha-GPC (Alpha-Glyceryl Phosphorylcholine) is a choline compound studied for its role in supporting acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter your brain uses for focus, memory, and learning.

Unlike many choline sources, Alpha-GPC is absorbed efficiently and delivers choline in a highly bioavailable form, making it one of the most studied choline precursors for cognitive support.

How Alpha-GPC Works

Every time you focus, your brain spends acetylcholine. Alpha-GPC is studied for its role in restocking it. Four mechanisms below.

1.One of the most bioavailable choline sources.

Alpha-GPC has been shown in research to produce higher plasma choline levels than other forms. Your brain needs choline to make acetylcholine, and Alpha-GPC delivers it more efficiently than most sources.

2.Supports acetylcholine production.

Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter behind focus, attention, learning, and memory. Every time you concentrate, your brain spends acetylcholine. Alpha-GPC is studied for its role in supporting healthy levels.

3.Fast, bioavailable absorption.

Alpha-GPC absorbs quickly, raising plasma choline within about 30 minutes, faster than most choline sources. This is why it's studied as an acute cognitive support compound.

4.Supports neural cell membranes.

Alpha-GPC contributes to phosphatidylcholine, a structural component of brain cell membranes. These membranes play a role in healthy cognitive function.

Why We Use It

Alpha-GPC is in DayShift to do one thing no other ingredient can: supply the raw material your brain needs to make the neurotransmitter behind focus and memory.

300 mg per packet, dosed within the clinically studied range. We use Alpha-GPC specifically because it's the choline form shown in research to reach the brain in usable form, unlike cheaper alternatives like choline bitartrate.
