Hair Loss

1) Both Alpha GPC and CDP Choline increase HGH??

2) Alpha GPC and CDP Choline could increase or cause hair loss??


Thanks so much

They wonl't cause hairloss, there seems to be a lot coming up about hairloss recently!

I found that Nicotine is the only noot I've taken so far that promotes hair loss.

Increasing NGF could cause hair loss.

1) Alpha GPC increase also NGF so it could also cause hair loss??
2) CDP Choline doesn´t increase NGF so there´s no possibility of hair loss with it?? (I need a good choline supplement for piracetam that doesn´t has as side effect hair loss)

Thanks so much

This paper does confirm that alpha GPC can modulate NGF. Not sure about CDP choline. There isn't nearly enough research to answer your questions about the possible extent of hair loss.

But they both have more mechanisms at play than almost any other choline source (except maybe ALCAR), so if you're that worried about it, seeing if you can get away with a simpler one (choline bitartrate?) may make more sense.
