== Production ==
Studies have investigated its efficacy for cognitive disorders including stroke and ]. An Italian multicentre clinical trial on 2,044 patients suffering from recent stroke were supplied alpha-GPC in doses of 1,000&nbsp;mg/day for 28&nbsp;days and 400&nbsp;mg three times per day for the five ensuing months. The trial confirmed the therapeutic role of alpha-GPC on the cognitive recovery of patients based on four measurement scales, three of which reached statistical significance.<ref>Barbagallo Sangiorgi G, et al. "Alpha-Glycerophosphocholine in the mental recovery of cerebral ischemic attacks." An Italian multicenter clinical trial. Ann NY Acad Sci 1994; 717:253-69.</ref>
Industrially, alpha-GPC is produced by the chemical or enzymatic deacylation of ] enriched soya ] followed by ].

== Safety ==
Commonly used doses are 300-1,200&nbsp;mg daily.
Alpha-GPC metabolizes to ] in the gastrointestinal tract, which has implications for cardiovascular health. In one study, risk of stroke over a ten-year period was increased by about 40% in users of alpha-GPC.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Lee G, Choi S, Chang J, Choi D, Son JS, Kim K, Kim SM, Jeong S, Park SM | title = Association of L-α Glycerylphosphorylcholine With Subsequent Stroke Risk After 10 Years | journal = JAMA Network Open | volume = 4 | issue = 11 | pages = e2136008 | date = November 2021 | pmid = 34817582 | pmc = 8613599 | doi = 10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2021.36008 }}</ref>
