Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a naturally occurring nutrient and essential component of human cell membranes, but it is especially concentrated in the nerve cells of the brain.
A cell’s outer and inner membranes are comprised of a double layer of phospholipid molecules derived from essential fatty acids and other nutrients. Phosphatidyl Serine is one of these vital phospholipids.
In nerve cells, Phosphatidyl Serine plays several important roles. As an essential building block of cell membranes, Phosphatidyl Serine enhances membrane integrity and stimulates membrane repair. It also supports the functions of several important membrane proteins. These large protein molecules station themselves like sentries along the phospholipid wall, where they perform a variety of important functions necessary for nerve cell message transmission. For example, they process enzymatic and hormonal signals from outside the cell. They catalyze the nerve cell’s mitochondrial energy production. They facilitate the release of neurotransmitters. And they support the functions of the proteins in the neurotransmitter receptors of dendrites.
Some studies show that phospholipids such as Phosphatidylserine may decline with age, which is why supplementation is so important.
