 Phosphatidyl Serine
Phosphatidyl Serine provides nutritional support
for brain functions. It is a naturally occurring phospholipid, derived from
the all-powerful soybean. Studies show how Phosphatidyl Serine helps
maintain normal memory.
-
Helps support nervous system
function.
-
Phosphatidyl
serine may reduce the risk of dementia in the elderly.
-
May reduce the risk of cognitive
dysfunction in the elderly.
-
Phosphatidyl
serine comes from Soy Lecithin.
-
Each capsule provides 100 mg of
Phosphatidyl
serine.
-
Softgel capsule.
Phosphatidyl serine is a phospholipid that is
vital to brain cell structure and function. Phospholipids, found in every
cell membrane in our bodies, are molecules with an amino acid component and
a fatty acid component. Phosphatidyl serine plays an important role in our
neurotransmitter systems, metabolism levels of the brain, and maintaining
nerve connections in the brain. It appears that phosphatidyl serine levels
naturally decline with age.
Phosphatidyl serine is a natural extract of
lecithin, P. Serine has been the subject many human clinical trials of
memory loss, mood, cognitive performance and learning ability. Many of the
studies show that P. Serine can be helpful for those with age-related memory
impairment. It can even help to optimize cognition in those with no
cognitive impairment!
Aging is associated with altered neuronal
membrane lipid composition, enzymatic activity, decreased neurotransmitter
synthesis and metabolism and decreased synaptic activity. P. Serine appears
to reverse some of these changes and also helps re-establish the normal
down-regulation of cortisol secretion that is increased in chronically
stressed individuals.
It's benefit in dementia and depression may relate to
improved brain cell membrane fluidity. Phosphatidylserine (100mg three
times daily) has also been shown to improve the mood and mental function in
patients with Parkinson's disease, but exerts no beneficial effects on
muscle control.
