I have tried pretty much all the nutrients available for improvement of mental cognition. The standard fare of well know brain function enhancers like ginkgo, choline, lecithin and DMAE. I have found them somewhat effective, but have never really been all that impressed with any of these nutrients.

A year or so ago I was discussing these brain function nutrients with a colleague of mine that represents a major high end vitamin line that I carry. I asked him what he felt was the number one brain nutrient on the market today. He told me that he felt hands down that phosphatidylserine.

The body can make phosphatidylserine, but gets most of what it needs from foods. Phosphatidylserine supplements were once made from cow brains, but now are commonly manufactured from cabbage or soy. The switch was triggered by a conce
that products made from animal sources might cause infections such as mad cow disease. But now that the cow brain conce
is eliminated phosphatidylserine is free from health conce
s.

Phosphatidylserine is now commonly used to help treat Alzheimer's disease. It is also used for age-related decline in mental function, improving thinking skills in young people, depression and preventing exercise-induced stress and improving overall athletic performance.

I have been using phosphatidylserine for around 6 months know pretty much daily and must say that I really like it. I just find it gives me a little better focus and mental clarity. It is very good in the afte
oon when you get that after lunch energy lull. But the time when I like it and use it the most is right before I go to the gym to exercise. It just really helps my intensity level and allows me real concentration and focus during my workout. I have recommended this nutrient to many people over the last 6 months and have received very positive feedback from the majority of these customers.

“Just a waste of my time,” I remember thinking while waiting my turn for a mammogram in Dr. Ira Berger’s office. I had brought my briefcase and had work spread on my lap, but spending time driving the 97-mile round trip from my home office to the radiologist’s was an unproductive part of my day. It was 1992 and I had been getting annual mammograms for more than 10 years – ever since I turned 45. But I felt I had better things to do with my time, especially since no one in my family had ever had breast cancer, or cancer of any kind.

It’s the time to put the thick, groovy, grab-the-road tires on my car and it’s when I celebrate my magical day! Nov. 18th is my birthday. That day I’ll get to blow out some candles and grin from ear to ear while my family sings to me. Then I’ll read aloud their hilarious birthday cards while they laugh so hard they have to hold their tummies, and happy tears squeeze from the corners of their eyes. Yes, November 18 is the magical day I was bo 74 years ago.
