 Phosphatidyl Serine Info And Products Vital To Proper Brain Cell Function And Brain Operation!
What is it and where does it come from? Phosphatidyl Serine (1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol-(3)-L-phosphoserine) is a phospholipid that's comprised of the amino acid L-serine and a lipid molecule. It is present in the cells of all plants and animals, and is derived from the cerebral cortex of cattle, or from egg yolks, soybeans or lecithin (phosphatidylcholine). As a nutritional supplement, phosphatidyl serine is derived from plant sources to eliminate the risk of disease transmission from infected cattle. What does it do and what scientific studies give evidence to support this?
While its mechanisms of action are unknown, PS is thought to maintain nerve cell integrity, enhance neurotransmitter signal efficiency, enhance cognition, elevate mood, enhance memory, increase the brains absorption of nutrients, and improve nerve cell signal transmission. It is not surprising, then, that users of PS report being able to think more quickly, more clearly, and remember things better. Overall, users report being in better spirits - a result they attribute to PS supplementation. PS supplementation appears to lead to improvement in overall brain function and health. But, PS has additional benefits. Because the amount of PS that reaches the brain after surviving the intestinal tract is rare, results are best observed over time and with regular dosing.

PS is not an essential nutrient and no daily requirement (RDA) exists. No symptoms of deficiency exist. All persons in good health can benefit from supplementing with PS, but athletes and the elderly especially can benefit from PS supplementation because of the benefits described above. How much should be taken? Are there any side effects?
Do not take PS if you are using amphetamines (recreationally, to treat depression or to treat ADD/ADHD). Do not take PS if you are using adrenergic agonists like dopamine. Do not take PS if you are a child, are pregnant or are nursing. Side effects are generally rare but can include nausea, indigestion and insomnia. Do not use if you have kidney problems. Consult with a physician when using any nutritional supplement. Republished from Clayton South's Health Facts.
