#089 - Phosphatidylserine: The Memory-Boosting Fat Your Brain Needs

Send us Fan MailPhosphatidylserine might be difficult to pronounce, but this powerful brain nutrient deserves your attention. Join host Evan Patrick and Centurion CEO Troy Duell as they unpack the science behind this remarkable phospholipid that's making waves in cognitive health.Discovered in brain tissue back in 1940, phosphatidylserine (PS) has evolved from its early days as a bovine-derived supplement to today's plant-based formulations sourced from soy or sunflower lecithin. While our bodies produce PS naturally, supplementation can provide significant cognitive benefits – especially for those experiencing memory challenges, stress, or physical demands.The research is compelling: aging adults experiencing memory difficulties showed marked improvement in recalling new information after PS supplementation. Young adults performed better under pressure and perceived less stress during challenging tests. Perhaps most impressively, athletes taking PS experienced reduced post-exercise cortisol levels, decreased fatigue, and faster physical and mental recovery times. These benefits stem from PS's ability to maintain brain cell integrity, support neurotransmitter release, boost ATP production, and reduce stress hormones.Who stands to benefit most? Adults over 50 experiencing memory lapses or brain fog (including long COVID sufferers), college students navigating exam stress, athletes pushing their physical limits, and anyone dealing with chronic stress. While generally considered safe at recommended dosages, some individuals might experience mild digestive discomfort or sleep disruptions if taken too late in the day.Ready to optimize your brain health? Phosphatidylserine might be the missing piece in your wellness journey.
