I bought this when I started having problems with my thinking. What I was thinking was not what was coming out of my mouth. I could not even follow a recipe because I would put something in and then totally forget whether I had added that ingredient or not. I would brush my teeth and forget whether I had done it, and I would be right in the middle of a sentence and not only forget what I was about to say, but I would forget what subject I had been talking about. My mind would go blank like someone had just washed a chalkboard. So I bought these to see if they would help.They were easy to take and they did work. But after a week of taking them, I noticed that I had blisters on my tongue and inside my mouth. Then I started itching on my lower back and shoulders, and around my ankles. After another week, suddenly my tongue started burning as if I had scalded it by eating something that was too hot. I suddenly began having intestinal cramps, bloating, gas, and eventually diarrhea. My lips began to swell until they were about 4-5 times their normal size. They split and cracked and peeled until they bled whenever I would lick them. My husband came in from work one morning and asked if he needed to take me to the Urgent Care. My face was swollen and my eyes were swollen past my lids. My upper eyelids were so swollen that I could not even fully open my eyes.Doc put me on Benedryl and I stopped taking the supplements. It took yet another week for the buildup in my body to get worked out of my system. So while I was not outright allergic to it, I did have a "sensitivity" to it that caused a reaction as it built up within my body. So while I like what it did to help my thinking, I can't use it anymore. I hope that what progress I have gained with my thinking won't go back to the way it was after it all gets worked out of my system. But I guess we will see.

Alpha GPC Choline 300 mg Capsules from LongLifeNutri are safe and effective. It boosts my alertness, focus and mental energy to optimum high levels without any side effects. I've been taking 5 x 300 mg capsules per day, spread out over my work day (1 capsule each at 8 am, 9 am, 11 pm, 1 pm, and 3 pm, but if I have to work late, I take a 6th capsule at 5 pm). It does not interfere at all with a good night of sleep, just plan to take the last capsule of the day about 3 hours before bedtime so that you can easily let your mind fall into an unfocused sleep mode.The Safety Information at the LongLifeNutri website recommends "Do not consume more than 8 capsules per day", which is equivalent to 2,400 mg Choline per day and well below the Tolerable Upper Limit (TUL) of 3,500 mg Choline per day that has been established, by the US National Academy of Medicine, as unlikely to cause side effects for adult females and males over 19 years of age. (Facts Reference: Dietary Recommendations in Choline article at Wikipedia).The 2,400 mg Choline per day is also the same as the Therapeutic Level used in a December 2019 published research paper to show that "Lifelong choline supplementation ameliorates Alzheimer’s disease pathology and associated cognitive deficits by attenuating microglia activation." This independent scientific research was supported by grants from the National Institute of Aging and the National Science Foundation. (Scientific Journal Reference: December 2019 issue of Aging Cell, Vol 18, No 6, published by Wiley Open Access, who also published this important paper online on 27 September 2019).

I take this before working out and before bed as studies show Alpha GPC & Choline increase HGH levels which is known to prolong lifespans, anti-aging factors and increase muscle mass. This product seemed to be the best deal on Amazon. The ‘bonus offer’ is a cheap plastic pill container and not the luxurious container shown in product image- one star down for false advertisement. Also, read the supplement facts as the standardized amount is 50% GPC. I’ve read other brands are also only 50% but they don’t label it, I’ll give props for this brand for not being entirely misleading.

Maybe I need to try it much longer, because I don't think this supplement is really doing anything for me or Brandy. I would need a brains specialist or a dedicated Doctor to see if there's any kinds of improvements, whether it's for cognitive health, or any physical, arthritic, or muscular debilitating enhancing, that I hoped to see but the bottom line, is brands may make that difference. Try it, but of course taking it on a regular basis is definitely recommended, something I didn't do from the very beginning. It may work for you, but I'll never get this again, need to be apprehensive when doing Google searches, they're in it too, for the money!

I completely disagree with this skeptical review. This brand of Alpha GPC works so much better than other brands I tried before it. I now added Uridine from the same company and my ADD has been completely managed, sharpening my focus so I can work without being constantly distracted by emails and outside noises. This clarity has never happened to me before while I was taking any other supplements. My other family members are taking this too because we all have very demanding jobs as business owners and get depleted easily. Everyone is different when you're talking about brain chemistry. I'd say to the bad reviewers, look at your other supplements and your protein powders. What BCAA's are you supplementing with along with these? Is it a complete profile derived from clean grass fed whey source, or are you messing with estrogen ridden soy? If you're serious, you should get everything you supplement with in line to complement each other, and then you'll see better results with the utilization of this particular formulation from this brand.
