Description
Phosphatidylserine powder 50% (PS) is a fatty substance called a phospholipid, which covers the cells in your brain and carries messages between them. It plays an important role in keeping your mind and memory sharp. Studies show that the PS may support cognition as it is able to cross the blood-brain barrier. This product contains 50% phosphatidylserine, which means it is much more concentrated than the most products with only 10–20% PS.
Function
People take vegetarian phosphatidylserine 50% for a variety of reasons.
- Focus and Memory. Phosphatidylserine may improve long-term memory and cognition. As we age, phosphatidylserine and other important brain chemicals gradually decrease, resulting in decreased memory and cognitive ability. Supplementation by PS can increase the number of brain spurs, the fluidity of brain cell membranes, and promote glucose metabolism in brain cells, thereby making the cells more active, which promotes concentration, alertness, and memory function.
- Sleep Quality. PS helps to regulate the sleep-wake cycle by interacting with the hormone that promotes sleep. It also helps to reduce anxiety, which can interfere with sleep. Studies have shown it can improve sleep quality, reduce the number of awakenings during the night, and improve daytime alertness.
- Stress and Fatigue. Research suggests that phosphatidylserine powder may have a modulating effect on the stress hormone. This suggests a potential role in attenuating the physiological stress response.
- Mood. PS is involved in the regulation of neurotransmitters, the chemical messengers that transmit signals between our brain cells. Studies have shown it plays a role in the production of the neurotransmitter associated with mood regulation, which may help to enhance well-being.
- Neuroprotective. Phosphatidylserine can nourish and activate various enzymes in the brain, which could help to slow cell aging and revive brain cells.
