Description

What Is It?
Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a phospholipid that is a structural component of cell membranes but is most concentrated in the brain and cerebral cortex.

What Does It Do?
Primary Uses: PS plays an encompassing role in the functioning and structural integrity of nerve cell membranes. Studies have demonstrated that supplemental PS possesses the ability to reduce cognitive impairment. Clinical trials have also shown PS to be effective in other forms of cognitive dysfunction as well, including age-associated memory impairment.
Secondary Uses: There have also been several studies examining PS's ability to significantly reduce levels of the hormone cortisol, released by the body in response to stress. Research has focused on the connection between lower cortisol levels and elevated mood.

Who Should Take It?
Middle-aged and elderly people may benefit from phosphatidylserine's cognitive enhancing and protecting powers. It may also support athletes and those under stress by reducing the main stress hormone.
