Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a phospholipid compound. It helps provide structure and protection to cells and plays roles in blood coagulation, bone formation and cell-to-cell communication (cell signaling). Found in cell membranes throughout the body, PS is most highly concentrated within the brain and is an essential component of all neuronal membranes. Research suggests that phosphatidylserine is required for optimal brain functioning and for the overall health of brain cells. It has been found to help support and promote a wide range of brain-related activities including mental focus and concentration, memory recall and performance on tasks. PS also has been suggested to help support healthy cognitive function and healthy lipid composition in the aging brain. Because phosphatidylserine is difficult to obtain from dietary sources, supplementation is considered the best way to increase levels of this valuable brain nutrient. Our vegetarian Phosphatidylserine is a superior quality, soy-free PS material derived from natural, non-GMO sunflower lecithin. Phosphatidylserine should be taken with food-ideally a meal containing healthy fats-in order to optimize absorption and uptake. Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil (EPA and DHA in particular) are an excellent complement to this product.
