LeciPSŽ 100 mg Phosphatidylserine by Solaray is essential for the functioning of brain cells. It is rapidly absorbed and crosses the blood-brain barrier. Phosphatidylserine (PS) belongs to a special category of fat-soluble substances called phospholipids, which are essential components of cell membranes. PS is found in high concentrations in the brain and helps preserve, or even improve, some aspects of mental functioning in the elderly when taken in the amount of 300 mg per day for three to six months. Studies have shown benefits from PS supplementation when used in the amount of 300 mg per day for three to twelve weeks in patients with early Alzheimer's disease. The improvement on standardized tests of mental functioning averaged approximately 15%. Research also suggests PS may be useful for the treatment of depression in the elderly.

Free form Amino Acid Acetyl-L-Carnitine ( ALC ) is a natural nutrient supplement recognized as a powerful cognition enhancer and life-extension agent. ALC is also considered to be an important anti-aging complex that has shown success in helping to combat depression in the elderly. Acetyl L-Carnitine (an acetylated ester of the amino acid L-carnitine) is used by the body to transports fats into the mitochondria where they can be metabolized to produce energy in the cells. Normal aging processes can severely impair this transport of L-carnitine from the liver to the blood stream and other areas of the body. Supplemental ALC is more digestible than unesterified L-carnitine, and is able to rapidly enter the circulatory system and improve transport efficiency. The use of supplemental Acetyl L-Carnitine as an agent to enhance cognition and reduce problems associated with mental impairment . . .

Life Link's Phosphatidylserine 100mg 30Caps Phosphatidylserine is a vital component of neural cell membranes. After age 50 the body may synthesize too little PS, causing declines in mental function and memory. In clinical studies, subjects with cognitive impairments due to aging and Alzheimer's disease improved in concentration, learning, and recall. Benefits persisted at least 4 weeks after treatment was discontinued. PS is also useful for alleviating depression and behavioral disorders in the elderly. In healthy, non-active men PS blunted the cortisol increase that usually accompanies stressful exercise. (Elevated cortisol levels promote accumulation of visceral fat, and may interfere with adaptation to athletic training.) The positive benefits seen in laboratory animals has convinced many young, healthy people to use PS to enhance memory, raise intelligence, and retard neurological . . .
