Phosphatidylserine (let's just agree to call it PS, shall we?)
is a phospholipid compound, meaning it contains phosphate. It is
found naturally in nearly every living thing. As a type of fat
molecule, PS forms parts of cell membranes located everywhere
but most importantly in the brain. PS is believed to work with
the nervous system by supporting the ability of
neurotransmitters those chemical messengers which send and
receive electrical impulses to bind to the membranes of brain
cells. With the brain containing an estimated one trillion nerve
cells, the result is support for brain function. Unfortunately,
the amount of PS in the body may decline over time due to age,
stress, or deficient diet. When this happens, neural functions
may be affected as well. On a more positive note, an increase of
PS in the brain may well support a healthy mind, an important
benefit to the millions of Americans who say they are concerned
about brain health. PS is involved with other biological
processes as well. It is credited wi
