Alpha gpt dosages

Alpha-GPC is a supplement used to enhance cognitive function and focus by increasing acetylcholine transmission in the brain. Here's a detailed look at dosages and the benefits associated with different dosages as discussed by Andrew Huberman:

Dosage Ranges and Uses

1. Standard Cognitive Enhancement:

   • 300-600 mg per day is a common dosage range used to improve focus and mental performance 1 2.

2. High Cognitive Function Improvement & Offset Cognitive Decline:

   • For substantial cognitive effects, especially in older adults or those experiencing cognitive decline, dosages can go up to 1200 mg per day, typically divided into three doses of 400 mg each 1 3.

3. Physical Performance Enhancement:

   • Dosages of 300-600 mg are also used to enhance power output during physical activities such as resistance training or sprinting 3.

4. Personal Use by Andrew Huberman:

   • Andrew Huberman personally takes 300 mg before cognitive work or workouts, about 2-3 times per week. This helps him focus without over-stimulation 4 5.

Safety and Considerations

• Potential Stroke Risk: Some studies suggest that chronic, high-dose use of Alpha-GPC may increase the risk of stroke due to elevated TMAO levels. To mitigate this risk, it's recommended to take 600 mg of garlic alongside Alpha-GPC 6 7.
• Bioavailability and Timing: The half-life of Alpha-GPC is around 4-6 hours, so it's best taken at least once a day and not right before bedtime to avoid sleep disruption 2.

Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen to ensure safety and efficacy tailored to individual health needs.
