Phosphatidyl serine enables the release of the neurotransmitters acetylcholine and dopamine and is vital for synaptic nerve communication. Phosphatidyl serine increases the density and quantity of neurotransmitter receptors to levels found in youthful brains. Phosphatidyl serine improves glycine and glutamate nerve binding. Phosphatidyl serine causes improved cell membrane function and neurotransmitter receptor efficiency. Phosphatidyl serine yields stronger neural signals and higher nerve signal transmission speeds.
Clinical studies show significant cognitive improvement on standardized learning and memory tests.
One study on phosphatidyl serine with elderly subjects resulted in average restored cognitive levels equal to twelve years younger. Phosphatidyl serine used with Parkinson's patients with low EEG readings resulted in highly improved EEG readings. Aged animals supplemented with Phosphatidyl serine, out-performed young animals in certain cognitive tests.
