Phosphatidylserine is a nutraceutical that directly affects the activity of nerve cells. It is a soy phospholipid with a high content of phosphatidylserine, which is currently one of the highly effective natural neurometabolic agents. Nutritional imbalance today is often manifested in insufficient consumption of phospholipids, since their content in modern common foods is relatively small. Phospholipids can be independently synthesized in the body, but in old age there is a sharp decrease in their synthesis. Therefore, phospholipid food supplements are so highly recommended today. As you know, the brain consists of 60% of fats, which belong to the class of phospholipids and, if there is not enough fat, the brain simply does not work as it should. The relationship between mental health and dietary fat is very important. Deficiency of phospholipids like phosphatidylserine slows down our mental processes, regardless of age. They play a large biological role, forming the basis of all cell membranes through which most of the physiological functions flow, in particular, the processes associated with memory and learning ability. As shown by numerous studies, replenishment of phosphatidylserine reserves stimulates mental activity, mood and learning ability, and its beneficial effect is especially pronounced in older people. As a result of clinical trials, it was found that phosphatidylserine contributed to the return of mental abilities for more than a decade to patients aged 52-64 years. Phosphatidylserine has no side effects, goes well with other drugs. Phosphatidylserine is mainly found in brain cells and takes part in numerous manifestations of neuron activity. Phosphatidylserine is the most prominent member of the phospholipid family. It is found in the membranes of all body cells, with the highest concentrations of phosphatidylserine observed in nerve cells. It plays a key physiological role in the differentiation of neurons, the processes of activation, regeneration, synthesis and release of neurotransmitters (acetylcholine, etc.), the movement of ions and the conduct of bioelectric current. Phosphatidylserine promotes optimal exposure to chemical receptors of nerve tissue that regulate nerve processes, including division and growth of nerve cells. It also promotes the activation of glucose metabolism in the brain and increases the resistance of nerve cells to ischemic damage. Phosphatidylserine prevents the destruction of brain cells by microphages, inhibiting their phagocytic activity. It can pass through the blood-brain barrier and enter directly into the brain tissue a few minutes after ingestion. Currently available experimental data indicate that phosphatidylserine stimulates the synthesis of acetylcholine and activates cholinergic processes in the brain. Meanwhile, a decrease in acetylcholine production is one of the natural phenomena in Alzheimer's disease and other types of senile dementia. Up to 50% of people over 65 years of age noticeably lose their mental abilities, which is manifested in solving everyday tasks such as using words, remembering names, and maintaining active mental activity. Loss of memory is a shock to both the elderly person and his family. P
