Description of Phosphatidylserine Complex Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a phospholipid found in all cells. It is a major component of cell walls (membrane) in the brain. Cell membranes surround the cell, keep it intact and regulate many vital cellular functions including the storage, release and activity of many important neurotransmitters (brain chemicals) and their receptors. Phosphatidylserine is also important in cell-to-cell communication. PS stimulates the release of dopamine (a mood regulator that also control physical sensations, and movement), increases the production of acetylcholine (necessary for learning and memory), enhances brain glucose metabolism and reduces cortisol (a stress hormone) levels.   Ingredients of Phosphatidylserine Complex Supplement Facts Servings Size: One (1) Softgel Ingredients Amount %DV Phosholipids Phosphatidylserine (soy phospholipid) 100 mg † Phosphatidylcholine (soy phospholipid) 35 mg † Phosphatidylethanolamine (soy phospholipid) 10 mg † Phosphatidylinositol (soy phospholipid) 5 mg † Fatty Acids** Caprylic Acid 178 mg † Linoleic Acid 170 mg † Capric Acid 70 mg † Oleic Acid 30 mg † Palmitic Acid 30 mg † Linolenic Acid 20 mg † Stearic Acid 2500 mcg † Minerals Phosphorus 40 mg 5% Potassium 15 mg † Other Ingredients: Microcrystalline Cellulose (Plant Fiber), Rice Flour, Magnesium Stearate, and Silica. †: Daily value not established.   Additional Information for Phosphatidylserine Complex PS is most often used in the relief of age related memory and cognitive decline.

In fact, recent research has focused on the correlation between elevated cortisol levels and weight gain, insulin resistance and the development of Type 2 Diabetes. Cortisol is also considered a fat storage hormone and for this reason, people are supplementing with PS to Enhance reduce cortisol levels, which will Enhance in fat mobilization and storage reduction.
