PhosphatidylSerine (PS)

PhoshpatidylSerine is the single most important building block nutrient for healthy, alive, and functional brain cells. Levels of PS in the brain determine how long stress can be tolerated. Dietary supplementation with PS can improve symptoms of decline in memory, learning, concentration, coordination, and mood.*

It is now known that the loss of memory, cognitive skills, and the ability to concentrate can deteriorate as much as 50% over the course of a lifetime in people who are otherwise healthy. It is also known that as this cognitive decline occurs there is a corresponding loss of healthy and functional nerve cells in the brain.

Alcohol use, smoking, drugs, excess medications, heavy metals (like mercury, lead), environmental chemicals, poor diet, and excitotoxins (such as MSG and aspartame) can all speed up the process of brain decline.

Improve Memory, Concentration, and Learning

PhosphatidylSerine is naturally found in every cell membrane in the body, but in very high amounts in cell membranes in the brain. PS is the key nutrient that regulates how brain cells work. It regulates which nutrients enter brain cells, how waste gets out of brain cells, and communication between brain cells (neurotransmitter flow).

PS is an important building block nutrient for healthy and functional brain cells. It is in very short supply in the diet and must be constructed from other nutrients, a very energy intense activity.*

Supplemental PS has been shown to help brain cells work better, consistent with the activity of a brain that is less aged. PS can improve mental focus, short-term memory, mood, coordination, concentration, and learning.*

PS has been shown to be very helpful in the young as well as adults. Many students love taking it prior to tests, as it can boost retention of information. PS can also help improve focus, coordination, and stress tolerance.*

Reduces Risk of Cognitive Dysfunction in the Elderly*

At Wellness Resources we have recommended PhosphatidylSerine for many years. We use the highest purity form of PS derived from sunflower lecithin.

The FDA allows the following health claims for phosphatidylserine:
1. Consumption of phosphatidylserine may reduce the risk of dementia in the elderly.
Very limited and preliminary scientific research suggests that phosphatidylserine may reduce the risk of dementia in the elderly. FDA concludes that there is little scientific evidence supporting this claim.

2. Consumption of phosphatidylserine may reduce the risk of cognitive dysfunction in the elderly.
Very limited and preliminary scientific research suggests that phosphatidylserine may reduce the risk of cognitive dysfunction in the elderly. FDA concludes that there is little scientific evidence supporting this claim.
