Is alpha-GPC not a source of choline? Topic

I noticed a supplement I am taking (alpha-gpc), according to the nutrition label in the app, was not a source of choline. Thinking this must be an error, I submitted photos of the supplement for review, and it came back the next day without any changes.

TLDR: is alpha-GPC not a source of choline?

Hi U1193967385,
Thanks for your interesting question. Alpha-gpc metabolizes into choline in the body. That is why you won't see choline on the nutrition facts area of label.

Thanks for submitting photos of the label. MyNetDiary uses the nutrient information on the nutrition facts panel from the label of a food or supplement. This does not include any claims or additional wording outside of the nutrition facts panel.

Hope this helps! Brenda (MyNetDiary Dietitian)
