Phosphatidylserine Brain Nutrient
According to several blue ribbon studies, phosphatidylserine is one of the single best nutrients for rejuvenating your mind and memory. This soy-based nutrient is the key building block for billions of cells in your brain. It acts like brain food.
Volumes of scientific literature have proven the effectiveness of this remarkable ingredient. In a multi-university study, subjects who took PS (phosphatidylserine) achieved a 30 percent improvement in cognitive function, including learning, memory, and recalling numbers, names and faces. In fact, the study found that PS can roll back up to 12 years of mental decline.
In another research study performed in Italy, phosphatidylserine was documented to give you up to 44 percent better memory. In another study at a world-famous memory clinic, PS was found to actually make you smarter. People who took PS showed a 33 percent improvement in learning and remembering written information compared to the subjects who took placebos.
Can you get this brain nutrient in your diet naturally ? Well yes but and really no.
There are two major sources for phosphatidylserine: cow brains and soy lecithin. As a supplement, the phosphatidylserine derived from cow brains (BC-PS) is banned in the US due to fears about mad cow disease.
While phosphatidylserine occurs in soy lecithin, it does differ in molecular structure from the phosphatidylserine found in cow brains. It is important to note that the studies about human cognitive improvement were done with phosphatidylserine derive from cow brains.
Your body actually produces phosphatidylserine. However, theraputic doses for memory improvement are 100 mg two-three times a day.
What we are left with is the necessity to go for supplementation to be able to put this brain aid to work for us.
