What if you can't think of anything and get frustrated? Phosphatidylserine
1. Improvement of memory, immediate recall, and verbal learning ability
2. Improves executive function
3. Improves symptoms of depression
Hello. I'm a pharmacist Jinny.
 
Today, I'd like to explain a topic that is a little unfamiliar to you: cognition. Cognition refers to the ability to acquire, store, manipulate, and recall information about objects. Since it is a skill that can be used in every moment of daily life, everyone should be interested in cognitive management, but I think it is especially important for middle-aged and elderly people who are starting to worry about their brain health.

In this regard, the latest brain health supplement after red ginseng and omega-3 is an ingredient called 'phosphatidylserine', which can help improve cognition, is gaining popularity. Phosphatidylserine is a type of phospholipid that is abundantly distributed in the nerve cell membranes of the brain. Now, let's take a look at the benefits of phosphatidylserine through a paper.
1. Improvement of memory, immediate recall, and verbal learning ability

Have you ever had a frustrating experience when you were talking to someone and suddenly couldn't think of a word? If you are given a hint at this time, or if you remember it over time even if you don't have a hint, you are forgetful, but if you don't remember it even if you are given a hint, or if you forget that you had a conversation, it is better to seek medical attention just in case.
 
A 2013 study showed that phosphatidylserine supplementation had a positive effect on memory, immediate recall, and verbal learning [1].
"In addition, there was a statistically significant improvement in memory recognition scores and memory recall scores between baseline and six weeks of phosphatidylserine administration. Both immediate recall and total learning scores improved significantly after 12 weeks from baseline."
2. Improves executive function

Execution is the ability to know when, where, and how to apply a strategy to best solve a problem. If this executive function is impaired, it may be difficult for them to adapt appropriately and flexibly to changes in their environment.
 
In this regard, in 2013, Clinical Interventions in Aging reported a paper that studied the relationship between the intake of phosphatidylserine and executive function [2].
"Computational tests have shown that soy-derived phosphatidylserine (SB-PS) supplementation significantly increased cognitive parameters of memory cognition, executive function, and mental flexibility."
3. Improves symptoms of depression

Everyone gets depressed when they're in a difficult situation. Depression, however, is more than just a depressed mood, it is a persistent state in which you find it difficult to complete most tasks, have difficulty doing normal things in your studies and work, or find no motivation to do new things.

 

In this regard, as early as 1990, a study showed that phosphatidylserine supplementation not only improved memory and behavior, but also improved symptoms of depression [3].

 

 

"Phosphatidylserine induced consistent improvements in depression symptoms, memory, and behavior."

 

Today, along with the paper, we learned about the various benefits of phosphatidylserine. Although phosphatidylserine has various benefits, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety states that pregnant and lactating women should be careful about taking it, and that it may cause gastrointestinal upset or insomnia if it is taken in excess of the daily intake of 300 mg. We recommend that you consider these precautions before taking phosphatidylserine.

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