Excerpt

Many of the positive adaptations resulting from resistance exercise training (i.e., increased muscle mass and strength, decreased fat mass) are thought to be mediated, in part, by exercise-induced increases in growth hormone (GH). One ingredient that has shown clinical promise in elevating GH is the acetylcholine precursor alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine (A-GPC). The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a supplement containing primarily A-GPC on serum GH levels, explosive performance, and post-exercise substrate oxidation. …
