Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a natural nutrient found as part of the cell membrane of cells. It is a naturally-occurring phospholipids nutrient that has been shown to improve cognitive functions and enhance mental ability. PS is most notably found in the cell membrane of neurons, comprising about 7 to 10 percent of its lipid content. PS is essential to the healthy functioning of the human brain where it affects an assortment of nerve cell functions, including: conduction of nerve impulses; accumulation, storage and release of neurotransmitters, the activity and number of receptors involved in synaptic discharge; and the biological maintenance of cellular housekeeping functions.
