Recommended Use:
As a dietary supplement, take two to six softgels per day with meals, or as directed by your health care practitioner. Synergy means that the benefits of using certain nutrients in combination are greater than the additive benefits of using them separately. Nutrients that work by fundamentally related mechanisms tend to have cooperative effects that some times amount to synergy. PS/Omega-3 Synergy™ combines the orthomolecular nutrients PS with the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, to benefit not just the brain but the entire body. PS (phosphatidylserine, pronounced fos-fa-tie-dil-ser-een) is a phospholipid nutrient widely recognized for its many clinically proven brain benefits. EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are known from human and animal studies to support early brain development and the maintenance of brain function throughout life. PS, EPA and DHA are molecules structurally and functionally intertwined in virtually all the functions of the brain. All three nutrients also support systemic homeostatic processes that involve cell membranes. All three of these nutrients are relatively small orthomolecules (molecules orthodox to the body, per Linus Pauling), and can be synthesized in the body but may be conditionally essential nutrients for some populations. For EPA and DHA, populations suspected to have heightened risk for deficiency include newborns, children, the elderly, the overweight or obese, hypertensives, those with chronic viral infections, and alcohol abusers. PS Benefits Memory and Cognition,
PS has been intensively researched in humans, animals, cell cultures, and various experimental models. Hundreds of human studies and thousands of peer-reviewed publications are available on PS. The wide range of health benefits available from PS, and details of the many clinical trials that substantiate them, are summarized in the 2005 book PS (PhosphatidylSerine), Nature's Brain Booster by Parris Kidd, PhD. This book is available from Crayhon Research as part of our services to health care practitioners and their patients. Of the many double blinded trials conducted using PS, perhaps the single most instructive was the 1991 US trail conducted by Crook and his associates. Dr. Thomas Crook is a world-renowned expert on age-associates. Dr. Thomas Crook is a world-renowned expert on age-associated memory impairment. His team recruited over-50 subjects who were clinically healthy yet had measurable impairment of memory and other cognition. For some the degree of cognitive impairment was sufficient to degrade their daily productivity and put them at statistically higher risk for dementia later in life. The data generated from this trial indicated PS can restore several years' worth of functional mental performance and improve daily existence for such subjects. For patients with more severe cognitive difficulties, PS is not a panacea. However, findings from multiple double-blinded trials suggested PS could at least improve quality of life. PS significantly improved such patients' sociability (interactions with others) and their various activities of daily living. In other trials with elderly subjects PS also improved mood, coping with anxiety, and hormonal rhythms based in the pituitary. Brain imaging shows that PS can enhance energy production in the brain. PS also helps young, healthy individuals. In several double-blind trials with under-30 subjects, PS down-regulated blood cortisol levels while improving mental or physical performance under stress. PS is safe for children to take, and several uncontrolled studies indicate it can improve attention, behavior, and learning as judged by parents and teachers. PS is a Fundamental Brain Nutrient
Being naturally present in all known cells, PS is an orthodox molecule for human biochemistry—an orthomolecule. This ubiquity in living systems is consistent with its unsurpassed benefits and safety as a dietary supplement. PS is most concentrated in the brain, wherein it supports the entire range of functional capacities. PS is a molecular building block for cell membranes, the dynamic structures that do most of the important work of life. Within the nerve cell membranes, PS typically operates in synergy with another orthomolecule—the omega-3 DHA. This long chain fatty acid is held in place within membranes, as an integral part of the complete PS molecule. This intimate membrane association is the basis for the powerful clinical synergy of these nutrients. The Potent Synergy of PS and Omega-3 DHA
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and the closely related omaga-3 EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) are vitamin-like, conditionally essential nutrients. They are will documented for their cardiovascular benefits, even earning a qualified health claim form the cautious U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for protecting the cardiovascular system. EPA and DHA are conditionally essential nutrients for all the tissues, including the brain. During pre- and postnatal brain development, and all throughout life, DHA and EPA support the healthy maintenance of neuronal circuits. Aging impairs the body's ability to make these long-chain omega-3s, rendering the elderly at high risk for deficiency. But the cumulative research suggests people of all ages stand to benefit from taking PS, DHA and EPA in combination. The PS molecule has a head section, and a middle section onto which two fatty acid "tails" are attached (refer to the illustration). In nerve cell membranes, frequently one of these tails is DHA. This PS-DHA functional integration gives to neurons the awesome metabolic efficiency necessary for higher function. Therefore the brain must have adequate content of DHA and PS to maintain its functional integrity with the passing of the years. Little EPA is found in the brain, but EPA is a metabolic backup for DHA and seems somehow essential for mood management.
