Phosphatidylserine
Remarkable Brain Power Nutrient


Phosphatidylserine is a complex of phospholipid nutrients and fatty
acids derived from soy lecithin.
Phosphatidylserine, a phospholipid component of
cell membranes, is essential for the functioning of brain cells.
Phosphatidylserine (PS) plays a key role in the functioning of all cells in the
body, but it is most concentrated in the brain. PS is an important regulator of
normal, healthy neurotransmitter action and synaptic communication.

Phosphatidylserine,
along with other essential fatty acids, may also play a critical role in
cognitive function, including maintaining concentration and memory.
Phosphatidylserine (PS) can provide relatively quick benefits especially to
mature adults who are experiencing age related mental decline.
Phosphatidylserine and the other phospholipids literally "unstiffen" membranes
allowing for more normal function.

How does Phosphatidylserine work?
Phosphatidylserine, one of a group of key human brain phospholipids, has long
been known to have a positive effect on improving mental function. With age, the
membranes around cells tend to get stiffer and more resistant to the normal
movement of molecules. Less movement of molecules, including neurotransmitters
across the membranes, means decreased function in brain cells.
Phosphatidylserine assists in regulating membrane transfer of nutrients and
neurotransmitters necessary for proper mental function. When taken orally,
Phosphatidylserine is rapidly absorbed and crosses the brain-blood barrier.

Phosphatidylserine as Cortisol Blocker:
Phosphatidylserine (PS), known mainly for its cognitive effects, also has
cortisol-suppressive properties as well. Cortisol is known as the "death
hormone". While cortisol secretions increases with age, growth hormone
secretions decrease, which accelerates the aging process.
Phosphatidylserine has
been studied extensively in the U.S. and Europe in memory assessment and
cortisol-suppressive research.

Phosphatidylserine Benefits:
 

• Remarkable brain power nutrient
   
• Maintain concentration and memory
   
• Building block for cell membranes
   
• Improves mental function
   
• Effects on adaptability and mood
   
• Rapidly absorbs the brain-blood barrier
   
• Increase ability to handle stress

Phosphatidylserine Major Forms:
Phosphatidylserine is available in tablets, capsules and liquid form.

Precautions:
In rare case, large doses (200 mg or higher per single dose) can lead to nausea
when taken on an empty stomach, due to its stimulation of dopamine release.
Taking PS with meals alleviates this problem. Taking PS just before going to bed
may delay falling asleep.
