what exactly is phosphatidylserine? i have been told that it reduces the body's production of cortisol(which breaks down muscle). Any feedback would be appreciated......

Al,

That is what phosphatidylserine is purported to do. I tried it for 3 months and did not see any noticeable results. In fact, I still have a couple of bottles left in my cabinet that I haven't used because I just could not see any benefit.

However, that does not mean it wouldn't work for you. I take a lot of Vitamin C in the Super Pak daily and an Ultra C after really intense workouts to combat cortisol and maybe that's why the added phosphatidylserine had no noticeable effect for me.

There is pretty much evidence that vitamin C has a positive effect on cortisol. Try searching for Vitamin C and cortisol and you'll find quite a bit of info.

thanx roger..i will use the ultra c
