PS-IQ is a unique combination of Phosphatidylserine (PS) and other phospholipids, (such as phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol) and essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids: docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), gamma linolenic acid (GLA) and arachidonic acid (AA). These essential fatty acids work synergistically with PS to optimize brain function. Standardized for potency, Natural Factors DHA and AA comes from dolphin-friendly tuna oil.
This formula is solvent- and pesticide-free and is regularly tested for heavy metals and peroxide levels. Antioxidant Vitamin E is added to naturally preserve the precious oils.
PS-IQ is ideal for anyone seeking nutritional brain support safely and naturally. PS is a building block for nerve cell membranes and through that revitalizes all nerve cell functions. Although it is contained in each cell membrane, PS is most highly concentrated in brain cells.
PC, phosphatidylcholine, is the nutrient precursor to acetylcholine, an important brain chemical (neurotransmitter) involved in both memory and thinking. In healthy people, phosphatidylcholine can enhance mental function and is needed to build cell membranes, improve nerve cell efficiency and repair neurons.
DHA is an omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid that is one of the building blocks of brain tissue and is the major fatty acid in the gray matter of the brain and the retina of the eye. AA is an omega-6 fatty acid. Brain synapses (junctions between nerve cells) contain high concentrations of AA and DHA, fatty acids that are important for efficient conduction of messages from one nerve cell to another.
