The most bio-available form of choline.
CDP-choline comes in at a close second, but the price on Amazon justifies dishing out a little more for this form of choline. I've heard that the effects of Alpha-GPC can be best felt when "recovering" from any activity or event that puts stress on the body and can significantly alter your mental capabilities (Alzheimer's, stroke, etc.). I can attest to this fact as I've noticed great results after sleepless nights working on projects and such. It has boosted the cognitive enhancing effects of caffeine for me in many cases, in the way of making my mind clearer on the task at hand. I'd say about 1/4 times, I won't notice any effects from it, but that other 3/4 of the time makes this product worth it for me in the end. As of this writing, I could not find a less expensive form of this product, so both the price and the effects prompted me to order 4 of them. I hope you derive the same-or better-type of benefits from the product, should you choose to purchase it. Highly recommended.Update 01/21/12: After using this product for months at a time, I felt it was far superior to the CDP-choline (which has fallen farther behind than the "close second" I described it as being previously). I wasn't absolutely sure if what I was feeling was "true" as the placebo effect for many supplements can play a far bigger role than the supplement itself. Which is exactly what the placebo effect is, and my biggest fear when deciding on supplements to take. No one wants to dish out hard-earned money for self-delusional mind-tricks, even if they do "help" in the end. However, even after initial skepticism (which I always have in order to catch myself playing mind-tricks on myself), this product has performed consistently well and as I was searching for the entry on nootropics on wikipedia, I read this: "Alpha-GPC--thought to be the only cholinergic that delivers choline to the brain across the Blood-brain barrier; sold under its chemical name". I have absolutely found this to be the case, as all my other supplements I have taken that float around the nootropic forum discussion haven't had nearly the effect on my learning as these have. And I read this after I had already decided this was the real deal. In other words, I have now become a disciple for the product. I should mention, however, that this product has proven useless by itself (at least for me). When it's combined with a CNS stimulant, such as caffeine or whatever else you're privy to, the effects stand out big time. So, taking it in conjunction with something else will reap the biggest reward for you. Just an opinion based on my observation and many others how frequent forums on nootropics. If you're interested in a particular stack that is popular for its cognitive-enhancing effects, check out my review on 5-hour energy. Note: it is NOT in defense of the product and actually details how to make the "cocktail" of supplements out of 4 products bought cheaply on amazon. I'm a big believer in that particular stack, as well as this particular product. I use them together which is why I mentioned it here. I hope you've had the same success I've had with these products. Best of luck!

Choline Brain Booster - helps improve memory
[+] THE REVIEWI take this primarily to increase the levels of choline in the brain. The benefit of taking Alpha GPC over other choline supplements is that it delivers choline across the blood-brain barrier more quickly and efficiently. For example, I would take this just before taking a test or if I was having brain fog as I would want to boost my brain's cognitive function as fast as possible. When I first started taking Apha GPC, it had an almost overwhelming effect as I could feel the effects very well. I did notice that after taking them for a while, the effects seemed to disapate. Maybe that's because my mind was not as dysfunctional as before, so the effects between a dysfunctional brain and a function one then becomes less. Or, it is also possible that there is sort of diminished effects as the body gets used to the Alpha GPC. I have no idea which is the case; however, I still feel that the improvement is there after taking the product.Pros:- Delivers more choline to the brain- Able to cross the blood-brain barrier more easilyCons:- More expensive than taking other choline supplements[+] ACETYLCHOLINE NEUROTRANSMITTERAcetylcholine (ACh) is a neurotransmitter that is required for the synapses to fire (i.e., the process of thought). Without it, no cognitive function can take place. Therefore, if the brain is not producing enough ACh then it is reasonable to expect diminished cognitive function.The Acetylcholine neurotransmitter is made up of two groups, which are Acetyl group plus the Choline group. This product supplies the Choline group to that equation. Therefore, this product supplies the precursor (i.e., one of the building blocks) to the formation of the acetylcholine neurotransmitter.DISCLAIMER: I am not a physician nor am I dispensing medical advice.

Great REM sleep with this combined with Choline
I recently tried this product Ultimate Lucid Dreaming Pills | Memory Awareness Sleeping Supplement | Huperzine A, Alpha GPC + Choline | LucidEsc | 1 Bottle of 30 Vegetarian Caps | to help me dream at night. It works great! I had some crazy good dreams and no nightmares. But the problem is that this was $30 for a 45 day supply. I decided to try to buy the ingredients listed in it and see if the result would be the same. Well i am here to report that it is then same. I take it every other night and have the most awesome dreams that I can remember. I got this choline Best Naturals Choline 650 mg 180 Tablets. I tried the Huperzine A but it gave me a headache. So i am just taking this with the choline and getting great REM sleep. You should try it.
