Description: PhosphatidylSerine (PS) is essential to the functioning of all cells in the body, but it is most concentrated in the brain. PS, a naturally occurring phospholipid, is an important regulator of normal, healthy neurotransmitter action and synaptic communication. For added support, we added DMAE, a precursor to acetylcholine, Ginkgo Biloba extract, Rosemary and Gotu Kola.
Improves All Mental Functions

PhosphatidylSerine (PS) offers a remarkable range of benefits to all brain activities.  Scores of clinical trials show that it dramatically improves memory, learning, concentration, and mood.  It decreases stress in young and old.  PhosphatidylSerine (PS) also has the impressive ability to turn around the effects of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.


Remember The Brain

Dementia-type brain diseases such as Alzheimer's, which claims about 23,000 lives every year, are sad and debilitating conditions. But they are not the norm. Most aging people encounter a slowdown of cognitive function and even mild memory impairment for two reasons: the older brain isn't synthesizing as many neurotransmitters and efficient cerebral micro-circulation diminishes with age.

Breakthrough Brain Nutrient

The decline of mental capacity with age is the new challenge to health care.  Humans now live longer than ever before, but of every four Americans who make it past 85 years of age, it is likely that two will be suffering from
Alzheimer's or other severe mental deterioration when they die.  The public perception of Alzheimer's is not inflated:  many of these poor souls die without dignity, unaware of who they are and unable to recognize loved ones as their lives fade away.  This is a very important problem for all of us to face up to, for without our minds, what are we?

Science has risen to this challenge.  Its answer for slowing, in some cases even for reversing, mental decline is lifestyle revision and dietary supplementation with the nutrient
PhosphatidylSerine (called PS for short).

PhosphatidylSerine (PS) is a key building block for all the billions of cells that make up the human brain.  A quarter of a century of research on PS has established that it is the single best means for conserving memory and other higher brain functions through the passing of the years.  What is more, PhosphatidylSerine (PS) is an exceptionally safe dietary supplement.  An extra margin of safety comes from PhosphatidylSerine (PS) being more than a nutrient.  Like the vitamins, PS is an orthomolecule.

This term "orthomolecule," brilliantly coined by the late Professor Linus Pauling, conveys that PhosphatidylSerine (PS) is "orthodox" to the body; that PS is found throughout the body as the same molecule that comes in with diet.  This means PhosphatidylSerine (PS) is familiar to the body's defenses, highly unlikely to be seen as a threat and essentially free of adverse effects.

Actually, PhosphatidylSerine (PS) is universally present in living things from the most simple to the most complex.  It is a phospholipid, one of a class of orthomolecules that went into the first cells.  It is present in every single one of our cells.

Cells are the most basic functional units of life, and the human body is made up of about 100 trillion of them.  They depend heavily on membranes for all their life functions.  All cells can be simplistically thought of as "bags within bags."  The bags define compartments within the cell.  The bags are packaged by the cell's membrane system, and PhosphatidylSerine (PS) helps build these membranes.

PhosphatidylSerine (PS) has known functions in all of our tissues and organs but is most concentrated in the brain.  There it facilitates the entire complex diversity of activities that make the brain the sophisticated organ that it is.  PS works to functionally integrate the brain's different cells, tissue and regions into a unified whole.  This holistic clinical effectiveness of PhosphatidylSerine (PS) grows out of its universal placement in all the cells of the brain.  PS acts at the deeply profound level of the cell membranes, and its benefits from this subcellular level translate into impressive result at the level of the whole person.

As of mid-1997, at least 64 human studies had been published on PhosphatidylSerine (PS), of which 17 were double-blind.  The consistently positive findings from these studies established beyond a doubt that:
  • PS can improve quality of life in Alzheimer's patients.
  • PS can turn back the clock on the nondiseased, aging brain, revitalizing its functions.
  • PS can benefit depression, and help the individual cope with stress.
  • PS helps normalize brain biochemistry and physiology at every level.
  • PS is safe to take and has negligible adverse effects.

PhosphatidylSerine (PS) Gives The Best Boost To Fading Memory

A great deal of research has been done with PhosphatidylSerine (PS) since it was chemically isolated almost a half-century ago (in 1948 by Folch).  The main areas of research on PS have centered around its involvement in the brain and the immune system, and on the "basic science" of how PhosphatidylSerine (PS) contributes to the survival and functioning of all known types of cells.  The human clinical research with PS has now established its clear superiority as a nutrient that enhances brain function in people both young and old.

In the human studies that have been done, just about every mental function that could be measured was benefited by PhosphatidylSerine (PS) to some extent.  Experiments with laboratory animals verified the human findings, and were strengthened by the added advantage of structural and anatomical access to the brain tissue.  Results from powerful electron microscopy done on brain cells, from pulling apart cell membranes and putting them back together, and from a great variety of biochemistry studies done in the test tube led to a ration explanation for why PhosphatidylSerine (PS)  is so beneficial to human subjects.

PhosphatidylSerine (PS) also has been found to benefit young, healthy adults in coping with stress, and studies are in progress that may confirm that it helps children.  It's no wonder PS is being called the number-one brain booster, there's solid scientific data to prove it!

Conclusion:  PhosphatidylSerine (PS) Is The Number-One Brain Booster

Alzheimer's is not inevitable with advancing age--many people in their nineties are still sharp mentally.  But self-abusive lifestyle, environmental toxins, sustained emotional stress and lack of exercise all contribute to brain aging.  These stressful factors work together to generate wear and tear on the brain.  No doubt about it:  as we age, we will need a brain booster to help us rebuild our brain circuits, or we could live long enough to lose our minds.

With almost 3,000 total research papers published, at least 64 of which were clinical studies on humans, PhosphatidylSerine (PS) is the proven number-one brain booster.  The extensive findings on PS, published in peer-reviewed mainstream scientific journals, show that PhosphatidylSerine (PS) works consistently for the brain and that it is safe to take.  That PS is an orthomolecule, meaning that it is intrinsic to all the body's cells, explains its impeccable safety record.

It is not a scientific exaggeration to conclude from the extensive research on PhosphatidylSerine (PS), that it benefits virtually every brain function that can be tested.  The key to PS being the number-one brain booster is the fundamental importance of cell membranes for life, and the importance of PS for cell membranes.  The nerve cells' survival, housekeeping and high-level functions all involve membrane-based processes that rely on PhosphatidylSerine (PS).  This makes PS a far more complete brain booster than other nutrients--including B vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, herbs, amino acids, flavonoids and many nutrient metabolites--that do less for the membranes, or drugs which raise the levels of one nerve transmitter.  While compatible with all these, PhosphatidylSerine (PS) is superior to them.  By boosting membrane functions in cells throughout the brain, PS seems to boost many nerve transmitters while simultaneously boosting their coordinated effects across the entire brain.  PhosphatidylSerine (PS) has clearly shown it can turn back the clock on the brain decline.

Particularly when employed in conjunction with exercise and lifestyle revision, PhosphatidylSerine (PS) stands to improve quality of life for the young, middle aged, and the elderly.  The wealth of scientific data on this remarkable nutrient indicates that however much damage to brain power and individual may have sustained; no matter how anxious or depressed they are; they will get some benefit from PS.  Offering proven benefits that are not matched by any other nutrient or pharmaceutical, PhosphatidylSerine (PS) should be the foundation of everyone' personal program for conserving memory and other mental capacities so endangered by modern life.

Whether or not you believe you are at extra risk for Alzheimer's, I guarantee you will benefit from a brain conservation program of your own.  No matter how good you think your genes were when you were born, or how bad they may have become at this stage in your life, by starting on PhosphatidylSerine (PS) and taking other positive steps you can reasonably expect your brain power will get better.  You can be sure that unless you are seriously move to conserve the brain capacity you now have, you will have less to work with as the years go by.  The earlier you begin on PhosphatidylSerine (PS), the better.
