Alpha-GPC and Choline Bitartrate both come up in the same conversations; they overlap on Acetylcholine. Alpha-GPC: Alpha-GPC (L-alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine) is a highly bioavailable choline source that readily crosses the blood-brain barrier to supply the raw material for acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter central to memory, focus, and muscular power. Choline Bitartrate: Choline bitartrate is a salt of the essential nutrient choline combined with tartaric acid, widely used as an inexpensive dietary supplement to boost choline intake [1][2].
Alpha-GPC (L-alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine) is a highly bioavailable choline source that readily crosses the blood-brain barrier to supply the raw material for acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter central to memory, focus, and muscular power. Clinical and meta-analytic evidence supports its use for cognitive performance, making it one of the most reliable cholinergic nootropics available [1][2]. It additionally potentiates growth hormone release and is widely used across both cognitive and athletic supplementation [4][5].
Choline bitartrate is a salt of the essential nutrient choline combined with tartaric acid, widely used as an inexpensive dietary supplement to boost choline intake [1][2]. Because choline supports cell membranes, the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, and methyl-group metabolism, the bitartrate form is taken to help meet the body's need for the nutrient [1][3]. It is a common choice in supplements, valued for being stable and absorbing little moisture, and it delivers choline for the same functions as choline from food [1]. As with choline generally, very high intakes can cause side effects such as a fishy body odor [1].

strengths are the entries' qualitative ratings (strong / moderate / weak); Ki and EC50 figures appear where an entry records them.
easiest to source: Alpha-GPC is currently listed by more trusted vendors (4), so it's the simpler one to get hold of. for effects and safety, read each full entry; this is educational, not medical advice.
