Phosphatidylserine Raw Material Manufacturer, Brain Health

Phosphatidylserine is a type of phospholipid present in all living cells and has multiple positive effects on the brain health of the elderly, which are as follows:

I. Improvement of Cognitive Function

As people age, the brain function of the elderly gradually declines, often accompanied by cognitive problems such as memory loss, inattention, and decreased thinking ability. Phosphatidylserine can increase the levels of neurotransmitters in the brain, such as acetylcholine. These neurotransmitters play a crucial role in processes like memory, learning, and cognition.

Numerous studies have shown that supplementing with phosphatidylserine can improve the memory, attention, and cognitive flexibility of the elderly. For example, in some clinical trials, after elderly people with mild cognitive impairment took phosphatidylserine supplements for a period of time, their performance in memory tests, attention tests, and executive function tests was significantly better than that of the placebo group.

II. Protection of Nerve Cells

The nerve cells of the elderly are vulnerable to damage from various factors, such as oxidative stress and inflammatory responses. Phosphatidylserine has antioxidant properties and can reduce the damage of free radicals to nerve cells, safeguarding the structure and function of nerve cells.

It can also regulate the fluidity and stability of the nerve cell membrane, enabling nerve cells to better cope with changes in the external environment and reducing nerve cell apoptosis. Research has found that in models of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, phosphatidylserine can inhibit the death of nerve cells and slow down the progression of the disease.

III. Relief of Mental Stress and Improvement of Mood

The elderly may face various life pressures and psychological problems, such as anxiety and depression. These emotional issues can further affect brain health. Phosphatidylserine can relieve mental stress and anxiety by regulating the neuroendocrine system and reducing the levels of stress hormones in the body, such as cortisol.

Some studies indicate that supplementing with phosphatidylserine helps improve the emotional state of the elderly, enhances their mental health, and makes them more positive and optimistic.

IV. Enhancement of Brain Energy Metabolism

The brain is an organ with high energy demands. As people age, the brain's energy metabolism function gradually declines. Phosphatidylserine can participate in the intracellular energy metabolism process, promote the function of mitochondria, and improve the uptake and utilization of glucose by brain cells, providing sufficient energy for the brain.

Only when the brain obtains sufficient energy can its various functions be better exerted, which helps maintain the brain health and normal physiological activities of the elderly.
