PhospatidylSerine: Brain Enhancer

PhosphatidylSerine (PS) is a considered a essential fatty acid that helps create the membrane around our cells.  Ironically, the brain contains more PS than any other organ.  Without this critical phospholipid life as we know it wouldn’t exist.  According to Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling, PS is considered a orthmolecule meaning a molecule that is essential for everyday life.  PS is one of the most intensely studied supplements with more than 25 double blind trials. 

PS mainly acts like a bridge between neurons  in the brain.  PS works directly with the neurons in our brain, by acting as a generator of electrical signals, then assisting these signals to other neurons.  People who have used PS report a drastic improvement in academic performance, and benefits in depression and anxiety.  Other double blind studies have documented benefits in memory, learning comprehension, mood, and stress reduction.  Studies have also shown PS to help people of all ages including college students and also the elderly.  Using a  Positive Emission Tomography Scanner studies have found people over 65 could restore up to 12 years worth of memory.  In another study of children 3-19, of the 31 tested 28 showed improvement in attention, concentration, learning and behavioral improvement. Studies out of Belgium, Italy, Germany, and Isreal have also shown positive results in Alzheimer’s Dementia. 

PS as a whole is a perfectly safe supplement for anyone concerned with declining memory, or just a tune-up.  To get the best benefits use 200-300 mg/day
