Why Alpha-GPC keeps getting recommended on podcasts

Alpha-GPC came up with a genuine on-air endorsement 10 times across the episodes we processed. This page collects every one of those moments: who said it, what they said, and the exact point in the episode.

Few supplements cross as many shows as Alpha-GPC does. It has come up on Andrew Huberman, Joe Rogan, Lex Fridman, and Tim Ferriss, ten times in total, usually in conversations about focus and cognitive performance.

That kind of spread across four very different hosts is rare, and it is why we built this page. Every mention is quoted and timestamped so you can hear the actual context, not just a headline number.
