Brain Alert - Phospholipids and Brain Function

Friday 23rd July 2010

New to ThinkNatural is HealthAid's 'Brain Alert' - a phosphatidyl serine nutritional supplement

 

Phosphatidyl serine is used by the body to form the phospholipid bilayer that is found surrounding the cells of all living being. It is needed for every single cell in the body, but tends to concentrate in the tissues of the vital organs, particuarly the brain. Nervous tissue usually have large amounts of this chemical because it is so eesential to the neurological processes that occur in the brain, which allows us to think and remember.

 

Many people choose to supplement their diet with Phosphatidyl nutrient as it is relatively difficult to obtain large amounts of it from the diet. The richest sources known are animal parts such as the brain and heart, neither of which are commonly eaten in large amounts nowadays. It is difficult for vegetarians to consume large quantities of phosphatidyl serine. It is also thought that phosphatidyl  levels decline with age, and so could be a part of the processes that lead to age-related cognitive issues.

 

It is important to ensure a good supply of this nutrient, so your body has a constant source of an essential component of healthy brain and nerve tissue. Some studies suggest it can help support memory. One study from the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition found that supplementation increased mood and concentration when faced with levels of stress.

 

ThinkNatural is proud to add HealthAid's Phosphatidyl serine product - Brain Alert - to it's ever-growing range of specialist health-food supplements.
