A Great Brain Supplement-PS

Phosphatidylserine Benefits

Several conditions, including depression, ADHD, and Alzheimer's disease, may be improved with the use of phosphatidylserine. Benefits of the supplement have only been seen in preliminary studies, however, so it is not known for sure whether phosphatidylserine is indeed effective for these uses. There are no known phosphatidylserine benefits in children (young children may actually be more susceptible to the toxicities of dietary supplements).


Benefits of Phosphatidylserine

Phosphatidylserine is a naturally-occurring molecule important for brain function. Although the body can make its own phosphatidylserine, most of the nutrient is obtained through the diet. Phosphatidylserine is also available in supplement form. Phosphatidylserine supplements are sometimes claimed to be beneficial for the following conditions:
 
Phosphatidylserine is also used for improving mental functioning in young people and improving athletic performance.
 
Very preliminary research suggests that phosphatidylserine may be beneficial for age-related cognitive decline and for Alzheimer's disease. However, there is not enough evidence to suggest that phosphatidylserine is beneficial for other uses (see Does Phosphatidylserine Work? for more information).
 

How Does Phosphatidylserine Work?

Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid, a molecule that is used in cell membranes in the human body. Phosphatidylserine is abundant in the human brain and is important for a variety of different functions and processes in the brain.
 
It is not known exactly how phosphatidylserine supplementation works for Alzheimer's disease or other uses, although it is thought that phosphatidylserine levels may decline with age and with certain medical conditions (such as Alzheimer's).
 

Phosphatidylserine Benefits in Children

Since children may be more susceptible to toxicities of dietary supplements, do not give your child any supplement (including phosphatidylserine) without discussing it with your child's healthcare provider first. If you are interested in using phosphatidylserine to treat a child with ADHD, be sure to discuss this (and other ADHD treatment options) with your child's healthcare provider.

Nothing But Sweat Workout Posted by Lisa-Marie   Warning : Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/sites/bodyrock.tv/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/bodyrock.tv/wo-breakdown.php  on line  528 . Hi BodyRockers, . Face it you are weird. In today’s world if you train like a warrior, flex your discipline when it comes to your diet, and pass on grazing on donuts in the break room at work chances are you are chided on some level by those around as being weird. Get used to it. Embrace the smell of your sweaty socks. Not many people make a daily practice out of pushing themselves beyond their comfort zones for one workout a day. Not many people step out of what is comfortable for themselves period. This is a niche movement. Not everyone will get why you train this way or why you train at all. Thankfully we don’t need anyones permission or approval, and if we are looking for support we have a place to go where people get it. Being weird requires a good measure of independ

How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

Image
Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments. The health effects vary greatly from person to person. High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution. Children are at greater risk because they are generally more active outdoors and their lungs are still developing. Exposure to air pollution can cause both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) health effects. The health of our lungs and entire respiratory system is affected by the quality of the air we breathe. In addition to oxygen, this air contains other substances
