There’s a revolution happening in brain research, and phosphatidylserine (PS) is a big part of it. It’s now proven that the brain can partially compensate for damage by adjusting existing circuits and calling upon a reserve of fresh cells. PS (phosphatidylserine) nutritionally supports brain adaptability, offering people of all ages the possibility of upgrading their mental performance.
I think of PS as a “deep nutrient” because it occurs in all known life forms and works at a profound level. It has been around since life began, being an essential building block for cells, the most basic units of life. PS is most concentrated in the brain, where it nutritionally supports many crucial nerve cell functions.
Mental Decline: Not an Inevitable Part of Aging As we age, many of us notice a loss of mental sharpness and think that this is just part of getting older, but aging cannot explain the current epidemic of severe mental deterioration. The fact is, the human brain is highly susceptible to living in modern “developed” society. Poor lifestyle and diet, ongoing emotional stress, and environmental pollutants all damage fragile brain cells. Many pharmaceutical drugs can cause severe memory loss. More and more children are showing behavioral and learning difficulties linked to pollutant exposures, and such difficulties can persist into adulthood.
People who abuse their bodies through poor diet and lifestyle can experience mental fall-off as early as their 30s, and for many others the problems become really noticeable during their mid-40s. Those people who perform the worst for their age-group are at increased risk of severe cognitive deterioration in later life, unless they make a commitment to rebuilding brain function. They can start with PS.
The Science Behind PS PS has a solid scientific track record. Eighteen double-blind studies establish that PS consistently benefits memory, learning, concentration, word choice, and mood. PS often benefits elderly people with behavioral and mood changes. In a double-blind trial with middle-aged subjects, Thomas Crook found PS helped them regain as much as 12 years’ worth of lost memory power. As for children, PS often helps those who have problems learning in school and responding to their parents at home.
How PS Works Biochemically speaking, PS is a phospholipid substance, a major building block for membranes, those dynamic structures upon which most life activities occur. The membrane systems of the nerve cells make the connections for the brain’s estimated 1,000-trillion separate conducting pathways. Through its deep-membrane actions in the nerve cells, PS facilitates the production, action, and cross-harmonization of the brain’s many chemical transmitters. PS raises brain energy, integrates electrical activity across the brain zones, improves mood, restores hormones that are out of rhythm, even improves coordination between the brain and the adrenal organs which help us cope with stress.
How to Incorporate PS into Your Daily Life Since PS is a fat-soluble nutrient, it’s recommended to take 300 mg daily for the first month. After that, 100 to 200 mg per day may suffice for maintenance. For some people, higher intakes may be advisable, in consultation with a qualified healthcare professional. PS is safe to take, extremely well-tolerated, and proved to be compatible with drugs in common use by the elderly.
Now that we know the human brain can bounce back to rebuild lost function, dietary supplementation with PS ought to be a key component of any brain support program.
Dr. Parris Kidd earned his Ph.D. doing research on cell membranes at the University of California at Berkeley.
PS For the Athlete and Highly Active Individual Among the many studies indicating the positive effects of PS on declining cognition, recent studies have indicated that PS may have a potential benefit in weight training and endurance athletes. Studies illustrated that PS supplementation decreased cortisol after exercise. Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulates the adrenal cortex. More specifically, it stimulates secretion of glucocorticoids such as cortisol. The decline in cortisol after exercise is possibly due to the decreasing ACTH, while subduing the negative effects of intense weight training (perception of well-being and muscle soreness).
MRM’s PS Leads the Nutrition Industry MRM’s PS is derived from soy making it one of the most unique supplements on the market today. It has shown superb bioavailability. Based on the research that has been performed on PS, the supplement has the ability to support memory, concentration, and an increase in exercise performance.
