Phosphatidylserine

PhosphatidylSerine Slows or Even Reverses Age-Related Memory Loss and Other Cognitive Functions

Phosphatidylserine in Flavay Plus® can revitalize the declining brain.

Double-blind studies involving more than 1,000 people show that phosphatidylserine can be an effective for Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.

Well-designed, randomized controlled clinical trials show phosphatidylserine can partially restore memory and other higher brain functions that have been lost and revitalize the declining brain.

The largest of these studies followed 494 elderly subjects in northeastern Italy over a course of 6 months. All suffered from moderate to severe mental decline, as measured by standard tests. Treatment consisted of either 300 mg daily of phosphatidylserine or placebo. The group that took phosphatidylserine did significantly better in both behavior and mental function than the placebo group. Symptoms of depression also improved. (114)

These results agree with numerous other smaller double-blind studies involving a total of more than 500 people with Alzheimer’s, and other types of age-related dementia, who significantly improved by taking phosphatidylserine. (119,123,219,220,222-225)

Phosphatidylserine in Flavay Plus® is shown to improve age-associated memory impairment and continued use prevents age-related decay of brain functions.

I just wanted to write and say WOW... I was so skeptical of your product at first and really had a negative attitude when I started taking it. I am a 40 yr old female with anxiety, mild ADHD and a host of arthritis and inflammation issues. It was a struggle for me to get out of bed everyday and focus on what needed to be done. I had no focus, no attention span, no energy, and no desire to do anything. About a week into taking Flavay and Flavay Plus, I started noticing that I could think a little clearer. My rheumatoid arthritis flare-ups weren't so bad, though I still have them. feeling better, and having more energy. I never thought I would feel like my old self again. I don't know exactly how you do it,...but this stuff works! I am telling all of my friends to try it because you've given me my old life back! Thank you! —Ms. L.A.*
