About phosphatidylserine (PS)

What's phosphatidylserine (PS) ?

A type of phospholipid found in the brain, which accounts for about 18% of adult brain cell lipids. It is said to activate the brain by increasing the metabolism of glucose (glucose), which is the energy source for the brain.

Brain rejuvenation

Phosphatidylserine (PS) is considered to be involved in the transmission of information, and is said to be the cause of forgetfulness due to aging. Various experiments have demonstrated the effects of ingesting phospatidylserine (PS) to rejuvenate the brain and improve memory.

Language memory test results (average of all monitors)

Memory improved after phosphatidylserine (PS) intake

Anti stress

The brain that is exposed to stress cannot perform its original function. Phosphatidylserine (PS) has been found to have the effect of relieving external stress.

Anti-stress test results

When you feel stress, a substance called amylase in saliva increases. It was found that PS suppresses its amylase activity.  Improved resistance to stress!

Phosphatidylserine (PS) research abroad

Overseas, there is a lot of research on phosphatidylserine (PS), which has a long history and a wealth of literature. Phosphatidylserine (PS) is widely known as brain food in the United States, which is a supplement powerhouse.

Performance of phosphatidylserine (PS)

History of phosphatidylserine (PS) research

Since the 1950s, many clinical studies on phosphatidylserine (PS) have been conducted in Europe and America, and the market has been formed mainly in the United States. Overseas, phosphatidylserine (PS) is a very well-recognized material as a brain food, as the US and South Korea have been approved to claim PS-containing products.

Overseas display example

America
The Nutrition Labeling Education Act (NLEA) has approved labeling to reduce disease risk, and if the standards are met, it is possible to write a statement such as "Phosphatidylserine (PS) may reduce dementia risk in the elderly."

Korea
It was approved in 2013 as a standard notification type raw material for health functional foods, and if the standard is satisfied, it is possible to write such as "Phosphatidylserine (PS) supports the decline of cognitive ability of the elderly".
