What the heck is phosphatidylserine
GoPro had a thread on off-cycle suppsgood for keeping on PH gains, but it ended up going way off topic and getting closed before I could get my question in..
So anyway, I know enough about Vit C, Carnitine, 6-Oxo and Tribex, but what the heck is phosphatidylserine????

Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid - a molecule made up of two fatty acids and a phosphate group attached to a glycerol backbone. Phosphatidylserine is concentrated in cells of the brain, where it may be related to brain cell function and neurotransmitter metabolism. Phosphatidylserine is also found in other cell membranes, such as muscle tissue and cells of the immune system, where they may play both a structural and functional role in muscle metabolism and immune system function.
• Prevents muscle breakdown
• Stimulates immune function
• Maintains brain function, memory and cognitive ability
Phosphatidylserine has been shown to reduce blood levels of cortisol - a hormone produced in response to stress. One of the effects of elevated cortisol production is accelerated amino acid catabolism - which could lead to muscle breakdown. Suppression of cortisol levels could theoretically maintain muscle mass during periods of increased stress and intense training.

Unfortunately it takes about 800 mgs a day to surpress cortisol, but there have been real promising studies at 300 mgs/day for Alzheimer's....
Best brands will be trademarked Leci-PC or PS....

It is a very good supplement. I love the stuff. I only use it when dieting for a show, however, when my overall cals are down and my training time is up. I feel that it not only helps me recover better, but also helps to maintain my muscle mass while dieting. I use 400 mg pre and post workout.
