[Phosphatidylserine] You deserve it!

In 2019, China established the Healthy China Action Promotion Committee and formulated and issued the "Healthy China Action Plan (2019-2030)." Nutrition for infants, children, adolescents, and the elderly has become a major social issue, and brain health, as the foundation of health, is of paramount importance.

Currently, the "brain projects" are being implemented in countries and regions such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and the European Union, and research on human brain development is also progressing rapidly in China.

1. Phosphatidylserine

Let's start with PS. PS stands for "phosphatidylserine" in English and is known in Chinese as "phosphatidylserine." It is primarily used in nutrition and health foods and is considered a third-generation "smart nutrient," following choline and the "brain gold" DHA.

Experts believe this natural substance can help maintain cell wall flexibility and enhance the efficiency of neurotransmitters that transmit brain signals, helping the brain function more efficiently and stimulating brain activation.

Its main function is to improve the function of nerve cells, regulate the conduction of nerve impulses, and enhance brain memory function. Due to its strong lipophilicity, it can quickly pass through the blood-brain barrier and enter the brain after absorption, soothing vascular smooth muscle cells and increasing blood supply to the brain.

2. What are the effects of phosphatidylserine?

(1) Improving brain function and improving memory

Over the past 20 years, more than 3,000 research papers by domestic and foreign experts have confirmed that "PS is an effective means to promote brain function and improve memory." PS can increase the number of brain spikes, the fluidity of brain cell membranes, and promote glucose metabolism in brain cells, thereby making brain cells more active, promoting concentration, and improving alertness and memory. For example, a study of 120 senior high school students at Chongqing Bashu Middle School also found that after 40 days of taking enhanced PS, the students' verbal and non-verbal memory were significantly improved.

(2) Preventing childhood ADHD

It is understood that a lack of essential fatty acids and phospholipids in childhood diet will lead to an increased risk of ADHD.

PS is a major component of nerves that can nourish and activate the activity of various enzymes in the brain, repair and renew the brain, and remove harmful substances. It can effectively prevent children from ADHD and promote children's intellectual development from the perspective of the brain and nerves.

(3) Relieve stress and brain fatigue

Many studies have shown that PS can significantly reduce the excessive levels of stress hormones in people who are stressed at work, reduce stress, relieve brain fatigue, promote concentration, improve alertness and memory, and relieve negative emotions.

(4) Help repair brain damage.

Phosphatidylserine is one of the main components of brain nerves. It can nourish and activate the activity of various enzymes in the brain, slow down the process of neurotransmitter reduction, and help repair and renew damaged brain cells and remove harmful substances.

It can restore the memory of the elderly to the level of 14 years ago. Studies have shown that after consuming phosphatidylserine for 12 weeks, a 66-year-old person has the memory of a 52-year-old person.

From this, it can be seen that there are indeed many studies and reports that confirm that PS has significant effects on intelligence and brain health.

3. DHA + PS: A Golden Combination for Brain Nutrition

DHA is a fatty acid found in abundance in the gray and white matter of the brain. It helps maintain the function of brain cell membranes and transmit signals within the brain. It is a recognized brain-boosting food and is commonly added to infant formula.

Phosphatidylserine (PS) and DHA are both brain-boosting substances and are closely linked. On the one hand, DHA promotes the accumulation of phosphatidylserine.

On the other hand, phosphatidylserine promotes the effective utilization of DHA. Supplementing DHA and phosphatidylserine together allows them to fully exert their effects.

Dr. Itay Shafat, a senior Israeli scientist, said: "PS, choline, and DHA are all considered smart nutrients. The difference between PS and choline is that PS is a component of cell membranes. PS is present in the human body, especially in the brain at its highest concentration. Because PS is a natural ingredient and has mild properties, it is widely used in food and pharmaceuticals."

In short, the combination of PS and DHA can enhance and synergize to improve children's memory and relieve stress!

4. PS is widely recognized internationally.

Over the past 25 years, over 3,000 research papers by domestic and international experts have confirmed that PS is an effective means of promoting brain function and enhancing memory. PS can effectively enhance cognitive ability and improve attention; improve memory in patients with memory impairment; improve behavior and cognition in patients with functional disorders; reduce exercise-induced increases in cortisol levels; and reduce stress.

Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a member of the phospholipid family. It is the only phospholipid that can regulate the function of key cell membrane proteins and is essential to the human body.

Therefore, regular use of phosphatidylserine dietary supplements does not impose any additional burden on the body and has been approved by the drug regulatory authorities of many countries.

PS has received safety certification from the US FDA, has been approved as a new resource food by the Chinese Ministry of Health in Announcement No. 15 of 2010, has been approved by the Japanese Food and Drug Administration (HBMA), and has been recognized by the Korean Food and Drug Safety Administration (KFDA). The KFDA allows products containing PS to prominently display the product's ability to "improve negative mood and enhance memory."
