Jarrow Formulas PS100 is a dietary supplement containing the perfect dose of concentrated phosphatidylserine obtained from genetically unmodified sunflower lecithin. Top quality and purity of the active substance is confirmed with the trade mark Cogni-PS®.

The preparation is recommended mainly for people who are looking for a natural and safe agent that enhances memory and increases intellectual capacity. It can also be used in order to stabilise the mood and reduce excessive tension. In times of increased stress, it helps to maintain calm, clarity of mind, and optimal intellectual capacity. PS also proves fantastic in sports supplementation – it reduces the negative consequences of physical stress and helps to increase the organism’s performance.

Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a natural compound contained in the structure of cell membranes in the human body, responsible for the efficient functioning of the central nervous system. It ensures normal functions in the brain, determines the transmission of nerve impulses, stimulates the activity of numerous enzymes, and balances the levels of key neurotransmitters. When used as a supplement, it can help to enhance memory and cognitive functions as well as mental well-being.

PS for the nervous system
Nerve impulse transmission is determined by the right condition of cell membranes, which receive and send signals. Phosphatidylserine is one of the basic elements of the membrane structure. It nourishes them, modulates their fluidity, ensures normal permeability, and supports the regeneration of microdamage. Phosphatidylserine deficiencies are particularly typical of old age and are the main reason of cell membrane degradation and hardening. It is usually visible through the deterioration of memory and cognitive deficits. In order to maintain intellectual capacity and the efficient functioning of the nervous system for as long as possible, it is good to take care of the right supply of phosphatidylserine preventively.

Phosphatidylserine stimulates the development of neurons and the replacement of damaged neurons with normally functioning ones. It also enhances the process of the formation of new connections between new neurons. They are the key skills of nerve tissue, thanks to which it is easy to adapt to change and assimilate new knowledge. What is more, the neuroplasticity of the brain is essential in the case of brain damage. It is only thanks to it that some functions performed by the damaged areas can be taken over by other parts of the brain.

PS as a nootropic substance
The procognitive activity of phosphatidylserine results mainly from the increased transmission of nerve impulses. Efficient communication between neurons is visible through intellectual skills, it affects the speed of information processing, the capability of quick fact association, and swift recalling of memories.

Phosphatidylserine can help to increase acetylcholine levels in the organism. That, in turn, translates into better memory and concentration. Another advantage is that the time needed to assimilate and code new information is reduced. Because of that, PS enjoys great popularity among white-collar workers and students who are preparing for exams.

Phosphatidylserine affects glucose metabolism and supports its effective use. Normally, it is glucose that serves as the main source of energy for the brain. Enhancing its transformations helps to nourish the brain better, increase its activity, and consequently, enhance intellectual capacity.

Phosphatidylserine plays a role in dopamine synthesis. It is one of the major neurotransmitters, responsible for the skill of focusing attention, organising and interpreting sensory stimuli. The right level of dopamine also gives a motivation boost and increases the will to act. Therefore, phosphatidylserine is perfect for people who feel blue, discouraged, distracted, have problems with organising their thoughts and concentrating on a task for longer.

PS as a modulator of the organism’s response to stress
PS has a calming effect on the nervous system and eliminates the negative consequences of stress. Chronic stress results in the overproduction of adrenal cortex hormones (especially cortisol), which can have a negative effect on mental well-being. It often manifests itself through sleep disorders, nervousness, and in extreme cases, even anxiety-depressive disorders.

Phosphatidylserine regulates the organism’s response to stress and prevents its physiological consequences. It inhibits excessive cortisol production and has an antidepressant and anxiolytic effect. It is beneficial for the synthesis of dopamine, thanks to which it not only improves the mood, but also increases the joy of life, and boosts energy and motivation.

PS and sports performance
PS can increase the organism’s physical capabilities. It helps to extend the duration of training sessions and reduce fatigue; it delays the moment when the training person starts to feel muscle soreness; it reduces post-workout muscle pains and enhances regenerative processes.

PS is also recommended for athletes who experience the painful effects of overtraining. Intensive workout usually leads to a significant increase in the level of cortisol, which as a highly catabolic hormone makes it more difficult to build muscle mass. Phosphatidylserine helps to balance hormone levels. It not only reduces excessive cortisol concentration, but it can also improve the proportion of testosterone to cortisol.

To sum up, PS100 is a universal supplement that proves excellent in times of intensive physical and intellectual activity. It can be used both by young people in order to increase intellectual potential and improve physical capacity and by older people in order to prevent dementia and the consequences of deteriorating cognitive functions, which often occur in old age.
