Abstract

Growth hormone (GH) secretion is decreased during aging in humans and in rodents. This decrease may be due to increased hypothalamic ****tostatin release, which is inhibited by cholinergic agonists, or to decreased secretion of GHRH. Alpha-glyceryl-phosphorylcholine (alpha-GFC) is a putative acetylcholine precursor used in the treatment of cognitive disorders in the elderly. In order to learn what effect alpha-GFC had on GH secretion, GH-release hormone (GHRH) was given to young and old human volunteers, with or without the addition of alpha-GFC. GH secretion was greater in the younger subjects than in the old individuals, and both groups had a greater GH response to the GHRH+alpha-GFC than to GHRH alone. The potentiating effect of alpha-GFC on GH secretion was more pronounced in the elderly subjects. These findings confirm the observation that aged individuals respond less well to GHRH than younger subjects, and provides further evidence that increased cholinergic tone enhances GH release.

Mr Poliquin is big on promoting Alpha GPC use pre training. i've never used it myself but know of 1 or 2 who love the focus from it.

I'll need to reference this comment but I was reading about a link to depression and increased levels of choline. (needs referenced)

link to depression,no good

IIRC, there was study regarding Alpha-GPC and increased power output as well.

Note the dose needed (not found in Hemavol or any other preworkout). And why do you seek GH elevation? For body composition, it's moot. For overall health, especially in the elderly, fine.

The "study" on power output is not well-designed at all.

Ah, never actually saw it myself, just recalled someone mentioning it.

i am just sharing some info. i have ordered hemavol for NO effect (since i havent tried NO product before)

Well next time pick a better study. I don't have access to the full text but Thieme E-journals has an awful impact factor.

can you keep me informed on what you think of hemavol? seems intriguing.

there is a more recent one and that only increased gh to 4 ng/ml. Pretty ghay. I could do 2 jumping jacks to hit that.

Dude, how many times did you have to override spell check to write that word?
