Functions of Phosphatidylserine(PS)
1.Improves Brain Function
Phosphatidylserine significantly improves memory and cognitive function, especially in older adults, showing a positive effect on mild cognitive impairment.
It makes brain cells more active by increasing the number of brain spikes, improving the fluidity of brain cell membranes, and promoting glucose metabolism in brain cells.
In experiment , phosphatidylserine (25 mg/kg) was administered 30 min before or immediately after training. Acute pre-or post-treatment with phosphatidylserine was effective in reversing the amnestic effect of reserpine in test trials performed 24 h and 1 week after training. These results indicate that the memory deficits associated with catecholamine depletion caused by reserpine can be attenuated by acute pre-or post-training or by long-term pretreatment with this phospholipid.
2.Relieves stress and improves mood:
Phosphatidylserine can significantly reduce excessive levels of stress hormones in the body, such as cortisol and ACTH, which can help relieve stress and improve mood.
It also increases concentration and alertness, which is especially beneficial for people who often feel tired or stressed.
There have been previous reports that supplements of phosphatidylserine (PS) blunted the release of cortisol in response to exercise stress and that it improved mood. In young adults, with neuroticism scores above rather than below the median, the taking of 300 mg PS each day for a month was associated with feeling less stressed and having a better mood.
3.Prevention of Alzheimer's:
Studies have shown that phosphatidylserine can help cell walls remain flexible and enhance the efficiency of neurotransmitters that transmit brain signals, thereby effectively preventing Alzheimer's disease.
CROOK of Memory Assessment Clinics, Inc. studied 51 patients meeting clinical criteria for probable Alzheimer's disease (AD). Patients were treated for 12 weeks with a formulation of bovine cortex phosphatidylserine (100 mg t.i.d.) or placebo, and those treated with the drug improved on several cognitive measures relative to those administered placebo. Differences between treatment groups were most apparent among patients with less severe cognitive impairment.
4.Reduce ADHD symptoms
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a mental disorder characterized by impulsivity, inattention, and hyperactivity. Phosphatidylserine PS, may be a safe and effective natural alternative for the treatment of ADHD. Two clinical trials in 236 children found that phosphatidylserine PS reduced ADHD symptoms alone or in combination with omega-3 fatty acids
PS supplementation resulted in significant improvements in: (i) ADHD (P<0.01), AD (P<0.01) and HD (P<0.01); (ii) short-term auditory memory (P<0.05); and (iii) inattention (differentiation and reverse differentiation, P<0.05) and inattention and impulsivity (P<0.05). PS was well-tolerated and PS significantly improved ADHD symptoms and short-term auditory memory in children.
