INTRODUCTION
L-Alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine (alpha-GPC or choline alfoscerate) is a choline-containing phospholipid. When ingested, alpha-GPC is metabolized into choline and glycerol-1-phosphate. Choline is a precursor of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in memory, attention, and skeletal muscle contraction. Glycerol-1-phosphate is used to support cellular membranes.
Alpha-GPC appears to easily cross the blood-brain barrier and is rapidly absorbed. It is currently the best cholinergic for increasing plasma and brain choline levels.
Manufacture
Industrially, alpha-GPC is produced by the chemical or enzymatic deacylation of phosphatidylcholine enriched soya phospholipids followed by chromatographic purification. Alpha-GPC may also be derived in small amounts from highly purified soy lecithin as well as from purified sunflower lecithin.

Applications
| Alpha-GPC is a prescription medication for the treatment of Alzheimer s disease. It is available in two forms; one is taken by mouth, and the other is given as a shot. In the United States alpha-GPC is only available as a dietary supplement, mostly in products promoted to improve memory. |
| Alpha-GPC include treatment of various kinds of dementia, stroke, and “mini stroke” (transient ischemic attack, TIA). |
| Alpha GPC rapidly delivers choline to the brain across the blood–brain barrier and is a biosynthetic precursor of the acetylcholine neurotransmitter. |

It is a nucleoside consisting of the base guanine and the sugar riboseIt has two phosphate groups, which affects its function and interactions with enzymes. It is a salt form where two sodium ions are […]
INTRODUCTION Rheological additives are essential components in paint formulations used to control the flow and viscosity of the paint. Modified rheological additives are advanced formulations of traditional rheological additives. They are designed to offer improved performance, versatility, or specific functional properties in applications like paints, coatings etc. Synonym Alkyl quaternary ammonium bentonite CAS no. 68153-34-4 […]
Curcumin, a compound found in turmeric, is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Introducing 95% curcumin in both human and animal applications involves understanding its high potency, ensuring effective delivery and absorption
Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) is one of the most important and widely used white pigments in the world. It’s a versatile compound found in an array of products across various industries. Its exceptional properties make it an essential ingredient in everything from paints and coatings to adhesives and cosmetics. TiO₂ exists in two primary grades: Anatase and Rutile.
Hydriodic acid is a strong acid solution of hydrogen iodide in water at nominal concentrations of 47% and 57%. Its stabilized formulation ensures consistent quality and reliability in various applications. This compound often appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sharp, pungent odor, characteristic of hydrogen halides.
n-Propylamine, known as propylamine in trade, is a versatile primary amine with a lone pair of electrons on nitrogen atom. It makes the amino group reactive and the amine thus undergoes chiefly nucleophilic substitution reactions with substrate.
Iodine is anon-metallic, dark-grey/purple-black, lustrous, solid element. It is the heaviest and the rarest of stable halogens that can be found on the crust of earth.About fifty percent of all iodine produced and manufactured worldwide is used to form Organoiodine compounds. Iodine is an important element for many health-sustaining processes and essential for human thyroid health.
