In May 2003, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration declared the chemical phosphatidylserine to be the first and only supplement that could legally be advertised as possibly reducing the risk of cognitive dysfunction and dementia in the elderly. Since then, the FDA's decision has proven wise, as researchers around the world have performed numerous studies further documenting not only phosphatidylserine's cognitive benefits, but also its stress-relieving benefits. Below are links to recent study abstracts involving phosphatidylserine (popularly abbreviated as PS):

Good intercellular communication: the key to the proper functioning of our minds:
ActivBrain is a unique complex of phospholipids from plant sources, containing both phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidic acid (PA). Phosphatidylserine belongs to the phospholipids, a family of fats that form the building blocks of the cell envelope, in which or via which most of the biological activity of our bodies. The most important of the phospholipids is phosphatidylserine, which is found in large quantities in nerve cells in the brain and is highly involved in numerous neuronal processes. Phosphatidylserine increases intercellular communication in the brain. ActivBrain also includes phosphatidic acid, which aids the body in its own natural production of phosphatidylserine. As an added benefit, PA increases the efficacy of strength training, as shown in this 2012 study.
Clean manufacturing
ActivBrain'stwo active ingredients, PS and PA, are produced using a unique manufacturing technology developed by Lipogen Ltd. Production occurs in clean aqueous solvents, so there is no chance of contamination from synthetic phospholipids. This process protects the health of the local ecosystem while mimicking the natural phospholipid production mechanism of the human body.
