Author Description

Product Description This book is an easy read on a natural substance that can turn back the clock on aging. Authored by an acclaimed expert on brain nutrition, Dr. Parris Kidd, it is a presentation of a vital lipid nutrient that is concentrated in the human brain and is crucial to our intelligence and survival. PS (chemical name PhosphatidylSerine) has been put through more than 25 double-blind clinical trials, more research attention than pharmaceuticals normally get. The author explains how this gold standard of human research proves PS is a real-life memory booster and also that PS is useful for learning and mood and for coping with the challenges of daily life. Our brain cells use PS to generate and transmit the electrical signals that make the brain perform. PS actually helps the nerve cells generate the energy they need to maintain the brain s electrical circuits. PS is a key molecular building block (a phospholipid, pronounced fos-fo-lip-id) for the dynamic structures called membranes that keep our cells alive. Membranes enriched in PS enable the tiny mitochondria in our cells to generate that needed energy. PS is an orthomolecule (a molecule orthodox to our cells) and therefore familiar to our tissues as they employ its molecular attributes. Used for decades in Europe as a dietary supplement, PS was introduced into North America by a visionary team with Dr. Kidd as their technical resource. PS is very safe to take long-term, and has benefits at every age, whether nine or ninety. PS helps with behavioral and learning problems in children, mental difficulties in midlife, and the memory decline that can threaten our independence as we age. In a double-blind trial with healthy over-50s subjects, famed memory researcher Dr. Tom Crook and his team found that PS could restore up to 12 years worth of lost mental function. PS also helps young, healthy people cope with anxiety, neuroticism, and stress. PS when used by itself, or better still with other safe nutri
