Review
Summary |
As medical science advances and the human lifespan is nearing eight centuries long, a new set of health and quality of life concerns are becoming apparent. From arthritis to dementia to elder-anxiety, many aging Americans, who are active and predominantly healthy, are looking for wonder drugs or supplements that will support memory and brain function, the nervous and circulatory systems.
A product that also makes claims about its ability to boost learning, intensify concentration and relieve depression could prove applicable to another population entirely – children. Kids, teens, even adults who present with symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are also being targeted as potential candidates for Phosphatidylserine, a nutrient found in the cell membrane of neurons.
PS is, according to a retailer’s website “therapeutic agent in treating memory deficit disorders and for improving other higher brain functions.
This plant-derived substance can improve the quality of your life.”

| Ingredients at a Glance |
|
First isolated in 1942, phosphatidylserine is now available as a dietary supplement derived from soy lecithin, PS “enables your brain cells to metabolize glucose and to release and bind with neurotransmitters”
|
| Ingredients in Focus |
|
Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid vital to brain cells. Phospholipids are molecules containing both amino and fatty acids found in every cell membrane of the human body. The fatty acids include the essential nutrients omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid which have been positively correlated with cadiovascular health, cancer prevention, and as a therapy for children with autism.

| Diet Lifestyle |
|
The manufacturer/retailer claims that their PS formula has a diverse set of applications. They recommend it for everything from clinical depression, ADD, muscle soreness, chronic stress, and dementia, and many more disorders/deficiencies.
Further, they maintain that our modern diet, which does inevitably include a certain amount of processed, modified food products, decreases the level of phospholipids our bodies should produce naturally. And therefore our brain’s ability to store, process, and recall information at an optimim level of functioning.

| Positives |

|
| Negatives |

• Not not contain Lithium Orotate
• Product is expensive
|
| Final Thoughts |
|
Phosphatidylserine from Healthy Source makes a comprehensive presentation of its product, using charts, testimonials, and factoids. There is some evidence to suggest that PS should be considered as a possible remedy, or as part of a system of solution to memory problems that come along with aging, depression and anxiety, so present in our society, and attention and hyperactive disorders that are plaguing our children at an all time high. It is far from conclusive and should be undertaken as a coarse of action with further study and under consult of a medical professional.
The consumer who is seeking a proven solution to mild to moderate depression and the headaches and fatigue often associated with this condition, may wish to consider a supplement made with Lithium Orotate the natural form of lithium. Additionally, mineral lithium may be beneficial to brain function, including memory and increased acuity. It is labeled for adults presenting with anxiety, attention, and cognition concerns, as well as depression, and bad temper.
