Enzymotec launch brain boosting ingredient
Phosphatidylserine, a natural phospholipids nutrient, is active in cell membranes and is the major acidic phospholipid in animal brain membranes.
07/02/05 Enzymotec has expandsed its phosphatidylserine product line – SharpPS, by introducing highly concentrated PS grades of PS70 and PS90.
The company's R&D team developed a new production method that enables manufacturing of high grade PS: PS70 and PS90, in addition to other extensive products in its SharpPS line. These new grades are produced under high quality standards and comply with current GMO free European regulations.
Phosphatidylserine, a natural phospholipids nutrient, is active in cell membranes and is the major acidic phospholipid in animal brain membranes. Phosphatidylserine has been clinically proven as beneficial for memory loss conditions, cognitive performance, improving mood and learning abilities.
"The new grades are most suitable as bulk active for dietary supplements, functional food and pharmaceutical applications," says Dorit Plat, PhD, R&D manager at Enzymotec. "SharpPS high grades provide manufacturers a wide range of PS solutions such as manufacturing significantly smaller capsules by using small bulk volume with the same RDA amount. It answers the consumers' need for smaller capsules size without compromising on the required RDA. Moreover, the high grades enable increasing the PS amount in the capsules without changing the capsules size and create stronger formulation of PS for better cognitive performance."
