PHOSPHATIDYL SERINE (PHOSPHATIDYLSERINE or PS), a Brain Food to Improve Memory and Increase Lucidity*
Phosphotidyl Serine (PhosphotidylSerine or PS) has been shown in human trials to improve memory, increase lucidity, increase rate of learning, and to help cope with the concerns of the day and increase sociability.
PS is a phospholipid, which are the principal components of all cell membranes. PS provides for four special benefits:
- It activates cell-to-cell communication;*
- It stabilizes the inner environment of the cell;*
- It helps regulate cell growth;*
- It improves the functioning of the special recepters found on cells, and it prepares cells for activity.*
What does Phosphotidyl Serine (PS) do?
PS is most concentrated in the cells of the brain. PS promotes the stability and integrity of the cellular membrane and promotes the ability of cells to maintain the internal balance known as homeostasis.*
PS promotes the functioning of special recepters which line the membranes of cells and it facilitates cell-to-cell communication. In animal studies, PS has also shown the ability to induce the production of neurotransmiters and to prevent their age related decline.
These studies help explain the clinical studies of humans that report PS stimulates acetylcholine output and the synthesis and release of dopamine. PS is also thought to reverse memory decline.* Human trials have demonstrated memory improvement, improvements in lucidity, in outlook upon life, in the general ability to cope with the concerns of the day and to function socially.
Other reports show similar behavioral benefits in animals, and there are reports that phosphatidylserine can activate cells of the immune system. Phosphatidylserine is thought to work by stimulating the building of cell membranes. *

Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement take i to 3 capsules daily with a glass of water and food. Take consistently each day for best results.
As always, consult your physician before taking supplements, especially if you have a medical or psychiatric condition, or are pregnant or lactating.
Even though it is a natural product normally found in the human body, phosphatidylserine can still cause side effects, such as:
* Upset stomach
* Gas
* Insomnia.
