Integrative Therapeutics Phosphatidylserine, 60 Softgels

I was very pleasantly surprised with how well this works. I think my hormones may be off, because I have been waking up with my heart pounding for no good reason. I am guessing my cortisol levels are off. Before I found these I tried several other natural sleeping supplements that have helped in the past and this was the only one that helped. I have taken it at night and in the day and it doesn't necessarily make me sleepy - but it helps keep my heart regular while sleeping and reduces/eliminates cortisol surges. I took one every night for about a week and now I just take them as needed.

2 before bed. Love it

I won't be switching brands any time soon. Yes, these are expensive. However, if you are picky about your supplements, you don't regret the extra dollars spent. I previously used the Solgar Phosphatidylserine and I was generally happy with them. My only issue with Solgar was that the pill capsules would leak and stain my hands...even when stored in a cool area. This brand does not leak, the liquid capsules are small and easy to swallow, and I've noticed less of a taste in my mouth after taking these vs the Solgar version. As for their claims of mental acuity and "helps with exercise," I can vouch for both of these. Since taking this brand, I've noticed that my general ability to function in the morning (on meetings, phone calls, etc) is through the roof. I can recall words much faster, I have a ton of mental energy, and I feel less tired after the gym. I'm a huge Ray Kurzweil fan (following the recommendations on supplementation given in his book Transcend) and I supplement with just one pill daily. Pros: - Easy to swallow - Will not leak and stain - No noticeable taste after taking - Noticeable boost in mental acuity (especially in the mornings) - More energy in the gym - Soy free! Yay! Cons - A pricey buy for minimal improvement over the competitors.

Who knew this amino acid was good for anxiety. I didn’t! I discovered it researching natural methods to help with anxiety. It definitely fies and has been a godsend. Research it and find out how it works in the body. You will be helped too

While this product may work well I find that the pills are large for me. I have to push them down with food as they get stuck in my throat.

I take this product for brain function. I am impressed with Similase quality.

My functional medicine practitioner advised that I start taking this 3x per day for a month and then reduce to twice per day. My anxiety attacks were horrible and came on multiple times per day, every day. This just started one day out of the blue and had gone on for over a year (likely related to menopause) and I was miserable. After a couple weeks, I noticed the attacks had reduced considerably and after about a month, they very rarely happened at all and were much milder. Controlling cortisol levels with this supplement has been a lifesaver!

Great when stressed. Helps lower cortisol
