Increases motivation: Dopamine is one of the most important stimulatory neurotransmitters. For some, it might be considered as “fuel for mind” because it mainly affects brain regions responsible for energy and motivation. When its activity decreases, fatigue and procrastination are more likely to occur. The results of scientific studies have shown that PRL-8-53 has a direct effect on dopaminergic receptors and stimulates them, imitating the effects of their natural ligands. Alpha-GPC is also involved in the regulation of dopamine metabolism. By increasing the activity of this neurotransmitter, the “reward system” in the brain is able to work more efficiently. This, in turn, may bring greater satisfaction with our own activities.

Improves attention: Dopamine is the most active in the prefrontal cortex – a brain region responsible, among other things, for attention and information analysis. These two elements are necessary to perform multiple tasks at the same time – this requires the ability to quickly transfer focus between different objects. This is the responsibility of  working memory where the information is only saved for a very short time. By increasing dopamine level, PRL-8-53 increases short-term memory capacity and supports the so-called multitasking. Alpha-GPC is no less important as it is one of the most efficient sources of choline – a compound that is essential for acetylcholine production. The combination of these two components effectively supports the ability to concentrate.

Supports learning process: PRL-8-53 is able to increase dopamine activity which may have a positive effect on attention. Proper acetylcholine level is equally important in terms of effective learning. If we were to think about dopamine as fuel, acetylcholine acts more like an accelerator. This is because it determines how fast the brain processes data and how well pieces of information are linked with each other. Choline alphoscerate is a source of raw material that can be used in the production of this neurotransmitter, and PRL-8-53 intensifies this process. Scientific research shows that Alpha-GPC improves blood flow in blood vessels supplying the central nervous system. Thanks to that, neurons can achieve more oxygen, glucose and other essential nutrients that help them to work better.
