Alpha GPC is definitely a good ingredient to include in a pre workout formula for focus. AlphaSize is the patented form of Alpha GPC, which is a high quality choline source that helps your brain make more acetylcholine (the neurotransmitter for focus, learning and mind muscle connection). We use 800mg Aplhasize in the tbJP DIAL-IN, which is a powerful nootropic supplement.
You don’t necessarily need to cycle it, but I would only use a nootropic supplement on days that it’s really necessary.

Thanks for the info! 800mg of AlphaSize sounds great for performance, but I have some concerns regarding long-term safety.
Recent studies (like the 2021 South Korean cohort study) have suggested a potential link between long-term Alpha GPC use and an increased risk of stroke. This is often attributed to the conversion of choline into TMAO by gut bacteria, which can lead to atherosclerosis.
I have a few questions:
Does taking Garlic extract (Allicin) daily actually help neutralize this risk by inhibiting TMAO production?
If I use it 4-5 times a week, will this show up as a problem in routine blood work, or are there specific markers (like TMAO testing) I should look for?
How exactly does Garlic interact with Alpha GPC to ‘cancel out’ the negative cardiovascular effects on a mechanistic level?
I’d love to hear your thoughts on whether this ‘garlic strategy’ makes 800mg of Alpha GPC safe for long-term use.

Hello sir, this is my first post here.

I would like your opinion about blood pressure and how to keep it at a healthy level. I am 17 years old and my blood pressure is high: 150/80 mmHg. The lower number, 80, is the one measured when the heart is resting, not pumping blood.

During the day, I consume about 10 g of salt and drink 5 liters of water. I am moderately active, walking around 12,000 steps per day
