Abstract in brief

  • The study investigated the effects of AlphaGlycerylphosphorylcholine (GPC), a compound that boosts brain acetylcholine levels, on feelings and motivation in healthy volunteers.
  • Results indicated that GPC tended to increase motivation, especially at night, compared to a placebo, although it did not significantly affect anxiety levels.
  • Overall, the findings suggest GPC could be used to enhance motivation in healthy people, but its impact on emotions like anxiety remains unclear.]
