The interesting thing I noticed immediately after taking 3 softgels of PS was I slept better.  ALOT BETTER.  More solid and certainly deeper.  On occasion I wake up a bit groggy, but lately I’ve been feeling great when I wake up.  I don’t take it everyday for some reason, I just take it every once in a while.  Just an intuitive thing.

The second thing I noticed was how vivid my memories are.  Like in great detail.  Pretty cool.

Phosphatidylserine is a phospholidpid found in brain tissue.  It’s also found in soya and egg yolks.  It’s thought to have a positive impact on memories and age related decline of mental function.  It has also been suggested that it’s helpful in reducing cortisol and helpful for managing stress. 

I did try another brand besides the Vitamin Shoppe.  It had a blend of neuro compounds in them (I am always a little leary of those).  This blend was rich in L-alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine (or a form of choline) and also had phosphatidyl serine, I took it around dinner time (which they suggested not to do) and it gave me nightmares and I felt a little depressed the next day.  So I don’t think that’s a good blend for me.  I never really cared for choline anyway, always makes my mucles tense.  it was called cognitive something?? 

So, in the meantime, I think I’ll stick with the pure phosphatidylserine from the Vitamin Shoppe, I like it.  Sleep great, feel better.  Think more clearly.  So far so good.
