What is phosphatidylserine
Phosphatidylserine, abbreviated as PS, is also known as complex neuraminic acid. It is extracted from the residue of natural soybean oil. It is an active substance in the cell membrane, especially in brain cells.

The function of PS is mainly to improve the function of nerve cells, regulate the conduction of nerve impulses, and play an important regulatory role in various functions of the brain (especially the memory and emotional stability of the brain). Due to its strong lipophilicity, it can quickly pass through the blood-brain barrier into the brain after absorption, soothing vascular smooth muscle cells and increasing blood supply to the brain.
Phosphatidylserine (PS) can be synthesized by the human body using serine. It can affect the transmission of chemical messages in the brain and help brain cells store and read data. It is an important nutrient element to maintain normal memory, reaction, and healthy emotions of the brain.
Main functions
Phosphatidylserine (PS) is known as a new "smart nutrient" after choline and DHA.
Experts believe that this natural substance can help cell walls remain flexible and can enhance the efficiency of neurotransmitters that transmit brain signals, help the brain operate efficiently, and stimulate the brain's activation state.
Specifically, phosphatidylserine has the following functions.
(1) Improve brain function, concentrate, and improve memory
A large number of meta-analyses on phosphatidylserine have emerged in Europe and the United States (meta-analysis refers to the systematic quantitative or qualitative synthesis of multiple independent research results on a certain issue). The main purpose is to make the previous research results more objective. reflected comprehensively. An analysis of 9 double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials involving a total of 1,224 patients showed that parameters related to cognition and memory were significantly improved after phosphatidylserine supplementation. There is no doubt that phosphatidylserine supplementation can improve long-term memory, long-term cognition, and the ability to speak freely and logically.
As we age, phosphatidylserine and other important brain chemicals gradually decrease, leading to weakened memory and cognition. Supplementing phosphatidylserine can increase the number of neuron synapses in the brain, the fluidity of brain cell membranes, and promote glucose metabolism in brain cells, thereby making brain cells more active, promoting concentration, and improving alertness and memory. Phosphatidylserine supplements are widely used in Italy, Scandinavia, and other European countries to treat aging-related dementia and memory loss in the elderly.

(2) Improve student performance
Someone once specifically tested the effect of phosphatidylserine in relieving mental stress. The trial was double-blind and placebo-controlled. Healthy college students were given 300 mg of phosphatidylserine every day for 30 consecutive days. College students had to complete a difficult math test within a given period and their reactions to the pressure were recorded. It was found that students who took phosphatidylserine were better than the control group in terms of responsiveness, confidence, and performance, and they also performed better on exams. A study on 120 senior high school students in Bashu Middle School in Chongqing also found that students who took fortified phosphatidylserine had significantly improved verbal and non-verbal memory after 40 days.
(3) Relieve stress, promote recovery from brain fatigue, and balance emotions
Multiple studies have shown that phosphatidylserine can significantly reduce the levels of excessive stress hormones in people with stressful work, reduce stress, and relieve brain fatigue; phosphatidylserine can also act on the levels of neurotransmitters in the brain that affect mood, It can promote concentration, improve alertness and memory, and help relieve negative emotions (such as depression, depression, etc.).

(4) Help repair brain damage
Phosphatidylserine is one of the main components of brain nerves. It can nourish and activate the activity of various enzymes in the brain, delay the reduction process of neurotransmitters, help repair and renew damaged brain cells, and remove harmful substances. It can restore the memory of the elderly to the level of 14 years ago. Research shows that after consuming phosphatidylserine for 12 weeks, a 66-year-old person has the memory of a 52-year-old person.
In addition, phosphatidylserine and DHA can promote the absorption of each other and play a protective role in nerve cells. Rich phosphatidylserine can increase the fluidity of cell membranes and promote the development of intelligence. Phosphatidylserine and DHA together can protect the central nervous system and promote fetal intellectual development.
Research shows that the main reason why phosphatidylserine can enhance human intelligence is that it can quickly cross the blood-brain barrier and enter the brain. In the brain, it soothes the smooth muscle cells of brain capillaries and increases blood supply to the brain. Therefore, in recent years, many products targeting stroke use PS as raw materials.

Applications
First, in the field of food and health products, phosphatidylserine, as a nutrient, is often used in the production of nutritional health products, such as brain function enhancers, memory enhancers, and cognitive support agents. At the same time, phosphatidylserine can also be used to produce functional foods that can improve brain power, enhance learning ability, and promote brain health.
Second, in the field of medicine, phosphatidylserine also plays an important role. Because it can improve the function of nerve cells, regulate the conduction of nerve impulses, and enhance the memory function of the brain, phosphatidylserine may be used to produce related drugs such as improving cognitive impairment and preventing and treating Alzheimer's disease. In addition, the anti-inflammatory effect and neuroregenerative properties of phosphatidylserine make it potentially helpful for the recovery of patients with diseases such as stroke and Parkinson's disease.

Furthermore, phosphatidylserine is also used in the field of cosmetics. Because phosphatidylserine has antioxidant properties, it is often used in the production of skincare products, facial masks, and anti-aging products to help protect the skin from free radical damage and delay the aging process.
Phosphatidylserine is also commonly used in children's health products to promote cognitive and learning development in children. It can also be sold separately as a nutritional supplement for people to take to support brain health.
