Alpha-GPC- Summary
- Bronchogen is a tetrapeptide bioregulator (Ala-Glu-Asp-Leu) developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology. It is a tissue-specific bioregulator designed for the bronchi and lungs, promoting normalization of bronchial epithelial cell function. Research suggests benefits for respiratory health, protection against pulmonary aging, and support for bronchopulmonary conditions.
- Alpha-GPC is the most bioavailable form of choline, readily crossing the blood-brain barrier to rapidly increase acetylcholine levels. It enhances cognitive performance, supports GH secretion, and is used as an essential complement to many nootropic peptides (especially those that increase acetylcholine demand like Noopept and Dihexa).
- Half-Life
- Short (minutes to hours); bioregulator effects are gene-mediated and longer lasting
- ~4–6 hours
