Brain PS+

formerly Brain PS 90 capsules

Fitness for the brain.

Burgerstein Brain PS contains pantothenic acid as well as natural phosphatidylserine from soy lecithin, which is found in high concentration in brain cells.

  • Phosphatidylserine helps regulate the release of neurotransmitters and is involved in synaptic activities, supports brain function and helps prevent against a decline in cognitive function in old age  
  • Pantothenic acid contributes to normal mental performance and a normal, well-functioning energy metabolism
  • Brain PS+ also contains Bacopa monnieri extract (bacosides) which can protect the nerves by reducing oxidative stress. In addition, the signal transmission between nerve cells can be positively influenced by bacosides and thus cognitive functions can be improved. We use an extract with 55 % bacoside concentration!

School, study and work demand top performance from our brain, constant attention and an alert mind. For example, concentrated and efficient learning is essential when preparing for exams. Support your mental performance now.

Vegans depend on additional external sources of phosphatidylserine as this micronutrient is mainly found in fish and meat.

What is phosphatidylserine important for in the body?

Did you know that phosphatidylserine (PS) is the major acidic aminophospholipid in the brain and an essential component of all cell membranes in the body?

Together with other membrane phospholipids, PS plays a central role in intercellular communication and the transmission of biochemical signals into the cell interior.

In particular, nerve cells rely on phosphatidylserine. Phosphatidylserine is mainly found in fish and meat. Dairy products and plant foods are rather poor in this substance. Presumably a deficiency or low supply limits mental performance: in studies a decrease in the amount of phosphatidylserine in cell membranes was associated with forgetfulness and concentration problems.

In another study of elderly subjects, there were significant improvements in short-term memory, concentration and attention. In addition, depressive symptoms, ability to cope with daily life, and apathy behavior improved [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. Apathy is usually accompanied by  lack of excitability, and insensitivity to external stimuli, among other symptoms.

Bacopa Monnieri extract


Brahmi, also known as Bacopa monnieri, has been used for centuries in traditional Indian medicine (Ayurveda) and enjoys the reputation of being one of the best plant substances. The main areas of application of the extract are  

 * improving cognitive function and memory
 * reducing stress
 * improving general mood and vitality

Various studies have shown an improvement in memory deficits or in the processing of visual stimuli, the ability to grasp and learn, and the ability to remember.  In most scientific studies, however, a dosage of 300 mg is used. In any case, care must be taken to ensure that the average duration of intake is 8-12 weeks.
