Q&A

Frequently asked questions

Which is better: Alpha-GPC or Citicoline?
Alpha-GPC is highly effective for increasing growth hormone and power output (ideal for workouts and acute memory). Citicoline provides uridine, which is better for structural brain health, focus, and long-term neuroprotection.
Why does Noopept require a choline source like Citicoline?
Noopept increases the uptake and utilization of acetylcholine in the brain. If you do not have enough choline, it can deplete your acetylcholine reserves, leading to mild headaches. Combining them prevents this.
