Swanson Phosphatidylserine Brain Health, 100 mg, 90 Softgels | Supports Healthy Mental Function, Helps Maintain Cell Signaling and Integrity in the Brain and Healthy Memory and Cognition

A trustworthy vitamin

Took this supplement to get me through NURSING SCHOOL. I've always had trouble with reading and focusing on the words. I've tried diet: salmon, blueberries, walnuts, etc. to help maintain an optimal cerebral function with little success. I've tried other supplements such as fish oil, krill oil and l-theanine. Krill oil does help to a degree, but not on the level of phosphatidyleserine. I'm taking 300 mg daily. I've been able to focus on my reading more efficiently and my ability to pick up on details has also improved. Don't get me wrong; it's not a miracle drug. You can't just pop it in your mouth and expect results. It's a supplement which means it takes time and it won't be drastically noticeable. Give it 3 months of constant use and give it 100% on your studies and you'll notice a difference. I checked it out on our drug guide we use at the hospital (micromedex) for updated information on safety issues and side effects and it's only listed as a "cognitive enhancer." There are no adverse side effects as of now, and I plan to check up on it daily. It's listed on reputable medical websites such as WEBMD as insufficient evidence and needs further research for enhanced cognitive functioning because this is plant derived. I would say, However, from experience that I did stop taking it for a week to compare how I feel and perform versus being on the pill and noticed a great big difference. So would I recommend it? Definitely. However, if you're expecting on taking this supplement and going from a Honda Civic to a Lamborghini, then you'll be disappointed. The best way I can describe taking this supplement is like getting your car washed and getting new tires. It's still the same car, but you'll be able to see better and drive more smoothly in how you think and perform cognitively.

I took this 2 pills, 3x a day times a day with 6 grams of BSN Nitrix (L-Arginine). It made a big difference in my grades and memory. I really don't remember feeling greater "brain power" but memory was greatly improved. All of this happened with HIGH HIGH stress involved. I tried to take 5 grams of L-Arginine a day, and would take 2, sometimes 3 Phosphatidylserine pills, 3x a day. I was just trying to get rid of it because I had taken 1 pill 2x a day before and it did nothing. I did this regimen for 2 weeks, prior to my law school exams. I got nothing bellow a B+ on some of the hardest required classes. On classes I rarely read for and had to cram in there last minute. I did study very hard but I noticed that things were much easier to remember. So I was able to move on to the next topic much faster. When I say notice, I mean thinking to yourself "Wow, whats going on? I'm remembering what i'm reading this fast?" I'm not studying without it. Wish it was cheaper so it would be practical for everyday use.

I have been using this product for a few weeks now and I honestly can't really tell if it is working or not. My mood has changed a bit while using it though. I feel mentally stronger. The packaging, product quality & customer service are all excellent. I called the customer service number to question the expiration date of the product and I was greeted by a very friendly and knowledgeable individual. My wait time was also non-existent. I would definitely buy another Swanson product.

Works great

I don't feel different but suddenly I remember names and can focus after about a week of using this. Very similar ingredients to the expensive brand.

Thanks 😊

These were just ok.
