Paul Stamets: Lion's Mane: A Mushroom That Improves Your Memory and Mood?
Mushrooms provide a vast array of potential medicinal compounds.

Lion’s mane mushrooms are not your classic looking cap-and-stem variety. These globular-shaped mushrooms sport cascading teeth-like spines rather than the more common gills. From these spines, white spores emerge. Lion’s mane mushrooms also have other common names: sheep’s head, bear’s head and the Japanese yamabushitake. Lion’s mane mushrooms are increasingly sold by gourmet food chains. Lion’s mane mushrooms are increasingly studied for their neuroprotective effects. About a dozen studies have been published on the neuroregenerative properties of lion’s mane mushrooms since 1991, when Dr. Is this data conclusive thus far? Is this data suggestive of positive outcomes?

PS 100 (phosphatidylserine) Download Product Information Sheet Supports mental function *Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid found in all cells, but is most concentrated in brain cells. This familiarly-called “brain nutrient” supports cognitive function, emotional well-being and behavioral performance by restoring cell membrane composition. It has also been shown to support memory. Consumption of Phosphatidylserine may reduce the risk of dementia in the elderly †Very limited and preliminary scientific research suggests that Phosphatidylserine may reduce the risk of dementia in the elderly. Phosphatidylserine supports mental acuity, memory, and healthy phospholipid balance in cell membranes.

Phosphatidylserine - In-Depth Scientific Supplement Information Table of Contents: Edit1. Sources and Structure 1.1. Sources Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a naturally occurring phospholipid that exists in all species, and comprises a portion of the phospholipid pool in human brain (15%), lungs (7.4%), testes (6.4%), kidneys (5.7%), liver (3.8%), skeletal muscle (3.3%), heart (3.2%) and blood plasma (0.2%) with an estimated 60g total PS storage in the body where half exists in neural tissue.[6][7] The average dietary intake is said to be approximately 130mg daily.[6] Phosphatidylserine (PS) is found in: Soy lecithin at around 3% of total phospholipids[8]Neural tissue (with past studies sourcing supplemental PS from bovine cortex, has since fallen out of favor due to risk of bovine spongiform encephalopathy[9])Krill Oil is said to be a source, but the majority of the phospholipids (which, as a group, have been confirmed repeatedly) are from Phosphatidylcholine and a PS content per se has not been confirmed 1.2. 1.3. 1.4.

Langone Medical Center Phosphatidylserine, or PS for short, is a member of a class of chemical compounds known as phospholipids. PS is an essential component in all our cells; specifically, it is a major component of the cell membrane. The cell membrane is a kind of "skin" that surrounds living cells. Besides keeping cells intact, this membrane performs vital functions such as moving nutrients into cells and pumping waste products out of them. PS plays an important role in many of these functions. Good evidence suggests that PS can help declining mental function and depression in the elderly, and it is widely used for this purpose in Italy, Scandinavia, and other parts of Europe. Sources Your body makes all the PS it needs. PS was originally manufactured from the brains of cows, and all the studies described here used this form. Therapeutic Dosages For the purpose of improving mental function, PS is usually taken in dosages of 100 mg two to three times daily. Therapeutic Uses Ordinary Age-related Memory Loss

L-Carnitine - In-Depth Scientific Supplement Information Table of Contents: Edit1. Structure and Sources 1.1. L-Carnitine (L-3-hydroxytrimethylamminobutanoate) is a naturally occurring amino acid found in animal tissue (meat products) and milk to a degree;[2] it is also a constituent of human breast milk. Food tends to have a better intestinal uptake rate on a percentage basis, in the range of 57-84% while supplemental form ranges 14-18% of the dose.[4] However, this may be due to lower doses being more efficiently absorbed, as average estimated carnitine intake in an omnivore daily is 2-12mcg/kg daily and vegetarians much lower.[5][6] For a 200lb omnivore at the higher end of intake, this equates to 1.09mg daily. 1.2. L-Carnitine, being a trimethylated amino acid structure, contains a nitrogen molecule in its structure. 1.3. L-Carnitine can be synthesized in the human body from two dietary essential amino acids, L-methionine and lysine. 1.4. Related to infants, women appear to experience reduction in plasma Carnitine stores during pregnancy.

D-Ribose Powder, 150 grams The primary source of energy for all cellular processes is a molecule known as ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Healthy, active cells constantly replenish their supply of ATP to produce vital cellular energy.140 However, under conditions of stress, injury, or aging, critical body tissues such as heart and skeletal muscles cannot produce ATP quickly enough to perform optimally. D-ribose, a carbohydrate molecule found in every living organism, facilitates the production of ATP.141 In studies of healthy athletes, supplying fatigued muscle cells with D-ribose quickly restored ATP levels to normal.142-145 By helping to rapidly refill depleted energy stores, D-ribose may be especially beneficial for heart health. D-Ribose Tablets and D-Ribose Powder can help speed energy recovery, increase energy reserves and maintain healthy energy levels in heart and muscle tissue.
