Phosphatidylserine, 100 mg., 100 capsules

In 1988, the Foundation published an article about studies in Europe showing phosphatidylserine could slow and reverse the rate of brain cell aging in laboratory animals. Phosphatidylserine restored mental function in older animals to levels exceeding those found in some younger animals. Although studies in humans with Alzheimer’s disease were less dramatic, they still produced significant improvements in cognitive function. In patients with mild dementia, significant cognitive and behavioral enhancing effects were observed. In one study with mildly demented elderly patients, the improvement in neural function continued 30 days after discontinuing phosphatidylserine (PS) therapy. This suggests that relatively low doses or cyclical dosing of PS therapy over an extended period of time in healthy people may produce sustained antiaging results.

Brain tissues are especially rich in PS, but aging causes a decline in the PS content of cells throughout the body. Research has shown that in addition to improving neural function, PS enhances energy metabolism in all cells. In the brain, PS helps maintain cell membrane integrity and youthful synaptic plasticity, protecting brain cells against the functional deterioration that occurs as a result of aging.
