Age Related Memory Impairment:

–This mainly includes conditions such as Alzheimers. Studies have shown  that 300 mg Phosphatidylserine everyday for twelve weeks can roll back a person's memory and mental capacity to as much as twelve years. Moreover, it also improves language skills and thinking abilities. PS seems to work more efficiently on people aged 50 to 80.

• Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD):

 Phosphatidylserine also has a positive effect on children and adults with ADHD. While it may not be the complete cure, it does relax the brain in order to reduce ADHD related symptoms such as anxiety, nervousness and hyperactivity. This property also makes it a useful supplement for students who do not suffer from ADHD but do have issues related to memory and concentration. Phosphatidylserine supplements for memory can greatly improve their academic performance.

• Muscle Recovery and Reduced Cortisol:

  PS does fight the symptoms of aging as well. With age, our muscles lose the ability to recover and heal. This can be serious problem for athletes and people who work-out regularly. This is because high-intensity workouts may result in production of Cortisol. It is a stress hormone which may result in the breakdown of tissue during the exercise. By reducing the production of this hormone, Phosphatidylserine improves endurance and recovery in athletes.
