Phosphatidylserine For Alzheimer's Disease
    Phosphatidylserine was first tried as a treatment for alzheimer's disease in the
late 1980's. Italian studies found the substance increased alertness and mood in
alzheimer patients. Phosphatidylserine, 300 grams daily, modestly improves
memory and thinking[146-147]. Phosphatidylserine is most effective in the early
stages of alzheimer's disease [148]. The effects of phosphatidylserine on
cognition lastabout 8 to 16 weeks and then taper off [149]. However,
phosphatidylserine improves the ability of patients to perform activities of
daily living for periods up to 2 months [150]. Most studies have used
phosphatidylserine in doses of 100 milligrams, given three times daily.
