Phosphatidylserine, one of a group of phospholipids, has long been known to have a positive effect on improving mental function. With age, the membranes around cells tend to get stiffer and more resistant to the normal movement of molecules. Less movement of molecules, including neurotransmitters across the membranes, means decreased function in brain cells. Phosphatidylserine and the other phospholipids literally “unstiffen” membranes allowing for more normal function. Phosphatidylserine, known mainly for its cognitive effects, also has cortisol suppressive properties as well. Cortisol is known as the “death hormone”. While cortisol secretions increases with age, growth hormone secretions decrease, which accelerates the aging process.
