Phosphatidyl serine (PS)
Phosphatidyl serine is a phospholipid (intelligent fat for the brain) important for maintaining and promoting your memory. Known as the memory molecule, PS is a smart nutrient that can genuinely boost your brain power. PS is well proven in memory boosting effects and is especially good at reversing age related memory
decline. Studies on rats, carried out by the Yakult Central Institute for Microbiological Research, found 60 days of supplementing phosphatidylserine improved some mental function in older rats with age related memory decline to that of young rats."
Human studies have also shown that PS is effective in reversing memory decline. While the human body can make its own PS, we rely on receiving some directly from diet, making PS a semi-essential nutrient. The trouble is that modern diets are deficient in PS, unless you happen to eat a lot of organ meats, in which case you may take in 50mg a day. A vegetarian diet is unlikely to achieve even 10mg a day. Supplementing 100 to 300mg a day can make a real difference.
The ability of PS to roll back the clock in those with age-related memory decline has also been observed in numerous animal trials. Other studies with humans have found that PS supplementation can also benefit those with only mild memory impairment. In addition to improving memory, PS can alleviate depressive symptoms and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). The secret to the memory-boosting properties of PS is probably due to its ability to help brain cells communicate, as it is a vital part of the structure of the brain's receptor sites.
