Phosphatidylserine (PS)
Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a phospholipid that is a structural component of cell membranes throughout the body but is most concentrated in the brain and cerebral cortex. It helps to cover and insulate the cells to help them communicate. Additionally, there is evidence that phosphatidylserine can significantly reduce levels of the hormone cortisol, which is released by the body in response to stress. Research has focused on the connection between lower cortisol levels and elevated mood.
It has been shown to support athletes and those under stress by reducing cortisol levels. Memory, learning, concentration and overall cognitive stamina may also be improved by its use.

Ingredient Benefits
Enhances cognitive function including learning and concentration
Research has demonstrated that supplemental PS possesses the ability to enhance cognitive function, specifically improving learning and concentration.
Reduces cortisol, the body’s main stress hormone
Cortisol is a major stress hormone. Excess levels are associated with insomnia and weight gain in the face and upper body among other negative health outcomes. PS can block high levels of cortisol from reaching and affecting cells.
Improves mental stamina
Clinical trials have also shown PS to be effective in other forms of cognitive dysfunction such as age-associated memory impairment, and to improve mental stamina in high-end athletes.
PS was historically isolated from bovine brain however, AOR’s PS-100 is from certified organic, cold-pressed sunflower making it vegan friendly.
