[Efficacy of Phosphatidylserine] Brain health function, three effects of phosphatidylserine

Hello. This is Jinny, the pharmacist.

Today I'm going to talk about a rather unfamiliar topic:  cognition . Cognition is a set of abilities to acquire, store, manipulate, and recall information about objects . It is an ability that is used in every moment of everyday life, so anyone should be interested in cognitive management, but it seems to be especially important for middle-aged and elderly people who are starting to worry about brain health .  
In this regard, an ingredient called ' Phosphatidylserine ' , which can help  improve cognition as the latest brain health nutrient following red ginseng and omega 3, is gaining popularity. Phosphatidylserine is a type of phospholipid, abundantly distributed in the membranes of nerve cells in the brain. Now, let's look at the benefits of taking phosphatidylserine through the thesis.

Haven't you ever had a frustrating experience when you suddenly couldn't remember a word while talking to someone else? At this time, if a hint is given or if it comes to mind over time even without a hint, it is forgetfulness, but if you do not remember even if a hint is given or forget the fact that you had a conversation, it is recommended that you seek medical treatment in case of a situation.

In this regard, a paper published in 2013 revealed the results that intake of phosphatidylserine had a positive effect on memory, immediate recall, and verbal learning ability .

Execution is the ability to know and apply which strategies, when, where, and how to apply them to best solve problems. If this executive function is degraded, it may be difficult to adapt appropriately and flexibly to changes in the surrounding environment, making it difficult to adapt. 

In this regard, a study on the relationship between phosphatidylserine intake and executive function was reported in Clinical Interventions in Aging in 2013 .

Everyone gets depressed when they are in a difficult situation. However , if you are depressed , you do n't just feel depressed , you have trouble getting most things done, you have problems with your normal work at school or at work, or you don't find the motivation to take on new things .

In this regard, as early as 1990, studies have shown that taking phosphatidylserine not only improves memory and behavior, but also improves symptoms of depression .

Today, we looked at the various benefits of phosphatidylserine with the thesis. Although phosphatidylserine has various benefits, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety mentions that pregnant women and lactating women should be careful about intake, and that excessive intake of more than 300mg per day can cause gastrointestinal disorders or insomnia . We recommend that you consider these precautions before taking phosphatidylserine.

I hope you have a healthy day in body and mind. It was Jinny.
