OmegaAid® PhosphatidylSerine (PS) is one the most innovative nutraceuticals for optimal mental and mood health in existence. Using a proprietary, patented manufacturing process, Chemi S.p.A., the world leader in manufacturing of soy-derived phosphatidylserine (PS), has combined biologically active DHA and EPA omega-3 fatty acids with marine-derived PS. Separately, each of these components are recognized in both the scientific and nutritional communities for benefiting cognitive abilities, mood, and stress.
This marine phospholipid, containing a high level of PS, and rich in DHA and EPA omega-3 fatty acids, represents a "new generation" of highly bioavailable, conjugated marine phospholipids and PS, and is the result of technological advances in science and manufacturing.
- Health Benefits
- Maintain and improve long and short-term memory, concentration, and focus.
- Improve mood and depression.
- Help to alleviate stress.
- Improve age-related cognitive decline.
- Slow the onset and progression of dementias.
- Provide crucial polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) - DHA and EPA.
- Science Information
OmegaAid® PhosphatidylSerine (PS) is a structured compound, and not just a simple, physical mixture of concentrated fish oil and PS. When PS and DHA are conjugated, this dramatically improves its bioavailability for significantly improved physiological performance. Another significant advantage of the structured omega-3 PS compound over a physical blend, is that the phospholipids in omega-3 PS have a notable degree of antioxidant activity. The result is a much better shelf life and much more stable properties when used in dietary supplement and functional food formulations.
There are three different omega-3 fatty acids, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA); eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA); and, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). It has been found that EPA and DHA play the most important and significant roles in human physiology. In fact, DHA is one of the body's most important structural fatty acids of nerve, brain and visual cell membrane phospholipids. The human body, particularly of older people, does not adequately synthesize DHA from other fatty acid precursors. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain DHA from the diet.
Today, the benefits of supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids are well known in the consumer marketplace, and they have become a popular and scientifically supported addition to our diet. Known primarily for its potential heart health benefits, extensive studies also suggest that DHA and EPA omega-3 fatty acids:
- Are very important brain nutrients.
- Help promote brain development and function.
- Help promote cognitive development.
- May support normal cognitive function throughout life.
- Are the most abundant omega-3 fatty acids in the brain and eyes.
- Applications
- Dietary supplements.
- Functional foods.
- Medical foods.
The ingredient compound OmegaAid® PhosphatidylSerine (PS) is available in both powdered and liquid forms and has particular application in mental performance, sports nutrition, anti-aging, and children's nutritional supplements.
