PS-100

Great product. My focus is better. I get more done. My health has improved and I have lost a few pounds. The price is quite reasonable.

Attention erreur ou arnaque ! Contrairement à ce qui est affiché, ce n'est pas la boite 60 gellules qui est envoyée mais la 120 gellules, qui contient du soja. Syndrome des jambes sans repos et insomnie garantis pour certains (dont moi).

Used to support mental health. Great quality, as described

Reduces your cortisol.excellent for relaxing and sleeping.

IMPORTANT NOTE: BUY THE KIND IN THE WHITE BOTTLE, NOT THE BLACK ONE. Amazon recently intermixed the reviews for two different PS (phosphatidylserine) products. Both are made by Jarrow, and Amazon sells both of them. I can see why Amazon was confused, because the labels are virtually identical. However, the products are NOT equally effective. Combining the reviews has confused a lot of people, and has also resulted in some people ordering the wrong product. (I did it myself recently, and had to call Amazon to cancel the mistaken order.) The labels look the same, and the reviews are intermixed, but the product inside is very different. The only way to tell them apart is from the color of the bottle. The Jarrow PS100 in the BLACK BOTTLE is NOT the one I am recommending. It's from genetically modified soybeans. The capsules are large and hard to swallow. They contain a brown powder which is not very effective. I have to take three or four of them to get the same effect as the other product, described below. The Jarrow PS100 in the WHITE BOTTLE is made from sunflowers, not soybeans. It is NOT genetically modified. The gel caps are small and easy to swallow. The product is easy to absorb, and very potent. This is the product I am recommending below. WHY I TAKE PS * I started taking PS a few months ago, when I was dealing with high stress and had high cortisol levels, making it difficult for me to relax and unwind. * Taking it made an almost immediate difference. * Months later, I still find that when I'm stressed, I still find that PS relaxes me. I feel like it calms my mind without sedating me. * When I take it, I feel better; I sleep better, and my short term memory seems better. * When I miss a day or two, I start noticing the same old short term memory problems: I'll go into the kitchen, then forget what I went in there for. When I take it, this seems much more rare. It's not that the PS caused the problems; I was experiencing them before the PS; it's that the PS seems to make my memory sharper and clearer, on days when I take it. * When I take PS at night, I tend to wake up the next morning feeling more refreshed than usual. * It's one of the few supplements I consider essential. WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS FORMULA: * This formula (in the blue/gold container) is made from sunflowers, not soy (so, no GM residues.) * It comes in soft gels, not capsules. They are smaller and easier to swallow than capsules. * I feel the effects sooner when I take the soft gels, than when I take Jarrow's other PS formula (or other companies' products) in gelatin capsules. * Because it's so more effective, I need less of it to get a beneficial effect. So the gelcaps are more economical also, in the long run. CAVEATS AND CAUTIONS * On Jarrow's website and elsewhere on the web, it says that this product (in the gel caps) should be kept REFRIGERATED after opening, to prevent it from spoiling. I wish this was made clearer in the Amazon ads. People who buy a bottle and stick it in a warm cupboard for a couple of months are probably taking a lower potency product as a result. * PS (of whatever type or brand) is most effective when taken with a source of DHA. PS was originally found in cows' brains, where it's naturally conjugated with DHA, and the lab studies that showed how much it helped with memory, were done with that type. But then due to fears about mad cow disease, it stopped being sold in that form. Unfortunately, most PS supplements, including this one, do NOT add in the DHA. My recommendation is to take a gelcap of PS with a capsule of fish oil or krill oil, both of which are high in DHA. Or you could take it along with a product like Conjugated Phosphatidylserine with DHA (my second favorite PS product). I like taking the Jarrow and Swanson products together for maximum benefit. • Though normal amounts shouldn't have this effect, taking a large amount of PS may make you sleepy. For a while I got into taking several PS capsules a day... we're talking 7 or 8 caps of PS ... and found myself feeling "dozy" during the daytime hours and needing to lie down a lot. This improved when I cut back on the dose. My current approach (which is working better) is to take a gelcap in the morning with a little fish or krill oil, then take a couple of gelcaps at night (when it may possibly help you get a good night's sleep). IN SUM: Great product, highly recommended. Just make sure that if you're buying Jarrow's PS, that you get the kind in gel caps, not the powdered stuff.
