How it works
Pira GPC Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine and Piracetam. Alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine is a natural choline compound. It works by delivering essential choline to the brain that gets converted into acetylcholine, a chemical messenger strongly associated with memory and cognition (activities of thinking, understanding, and learning). Piracetam is a nootropic medicine which increases the activity of acetylcholine and improves communications between the nerve cells.
